CYUSB3033-BZXC

Application Specific Microcontrollers Overview

The CYUSB3033-BZXC is an EZ-USB FX3S SuperSpeed USB controller designed for USB 3.0 peripheral applications. It integrates a 200-MHz ARM926EJ-S processor, 512 KB of embedded SRAM, and a fully configurable GPIF II interface supporting up to 100 MHz operation with 8-bit or 16-bit data buses. The device features a 5-Gbps USB 3.0 PHY compliant with PIPE 3.0 and supports USB 2.0 High-Speed On-The-Go (HS-OTG). Key capabilities include integrated SD/eMMC storage controllers supporting RAID 0/1, two SDIO ports, and serial peripherals including I2C, UART, SPI, and I2S. It operates on independent power domains with core voltage at 1.2 V and I/O voltages ranging from 1.8 V to 3.3 V.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• Integrates a 200-MHz ARM926EJ-S CPU with 512 KB embedded SRAM for complex firmware execution.
• Features a programmable 100-MHz GPIF II interface supporting 8-bit and 16-bit parallel data buses for flexible connectivity to FPGAs, ASICs, and sensors.
• Includes dual storage ports supporting SD 3.0 (SDXC) UHS-1 and eMMC 4.41 with built-in hardware RAID 0 and RAID 1 support.
• Provides HS-OTG host and peripheral functionality compliant with OTG Supplement Version 2.0.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Applications

• Digital video camcorders and digital still cameras
• Industrial cameras and machine vision systems
• Video capture cards and surveillance cameras
• Medical imaging devices and portable media players

Application Specific Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BZXC' against the manufacturer's ordering guide to confirm package type, temperature range, and lead time specifications. Ensure design compliance with the required external components for VBUS overvoltage protection if charging sources exceeding 6 V are utilized. Confirm availability of the EZ-USB FX3 SDK and GPIF II Designer tools for firmware development.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component when a USB 3.0 peripheral with integrated processing and mass storage capabilities is required. The FX3S architecture is suitable for applications needing direct interfacing with image sensors or FPGAs via GPIF II without an external bridge. Consider the 512 KB SRAM size for firmware complexity and verify that the 10-mm x 10-mm BGA package fits the board space constraints.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Part Context

The CYUSB3033-BZXC belongs to the EZ-USB FX3S family, which serves as a cost-effective alternative to the full FX3 series while retaining key USB 3.0 and storage features. It shares the same ARM926EJ-S core and GPIF II interface but may differ in SRAM capacity or pinout compared to other FX3 variants. It is part of Infineon's broader USB portfolio alongside FX3, CX3, and HX3 controllers.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the FX3S family include CYUSB3033-BZXI for industrial temperature ranges. For legacy compatibility, the CYUSB3014-BZXC from the original FX3 series offers similar functionality but lacks the integrated storage controller found in FX3S. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and firmware portability before substitution.
