Overview

The CY7C65213-32LTXI is a highly integrated USB-to-UART bridge controller designed to provide an easy path for upgrading legacy serial interfaces to USB. It features a full-speed USB 2.0 interface and a single-channel UART that supports data rates up to 3 Mbps. The device simplifies hardware design by integrating the voltage regulator, USB termination resistors, and a 48-MHz clock oscillator into a 32-pin QFN package.

Why Choose This Part

This controller offers extremely low power consumption with a 5uA sleep current and an integrated clock oscillator that eliminates the need for an external crystal. The wide I/O voltage range from 1.71V to 5.5V allows for direct interfacing with various microcontrollers without level shifters, while 8 programmable GPIOs provide flexibility for status LEDs or flow control.

Applications

Industrial Controller Interface
Provides a robust USB connection for PLCs and industrial sensors using standard UART protocols.
USB-to-RS232/RS485 Converters
Acts as the bridge IC for external dongles and adapter cables connecting PCs to legacy serial equipment.
Medical Device Connectivity
Used in portable diagnostic equipment to provide low-power data logging and PC communication.
Embedded System Debugging
Integrated onto development boards to provide a seamless USB-to-Serial console for firmware debugging.

Getting Started

For rapid development, use the CYUSBS232 USB-to-UART LP Reference Design Kit. Configuration is managed through Infineon's USB-Serial Configuration Utility, which allows engineers to customize VID/PID, serial numbers, and GPIO functions without writing firmware. Driver support is available for major operating systems including Windows, Linux, Mac OS, and Android.

Also Consider

CP2102N SiLSilicon Labs - A smaller 24-pin footprint alternative that also eliminates external crystals but offers fewer GPIO pins.
FT232RL FTDI Chip - An industry-standard choice with widespread driver familiarity, though it typically requires more external components and has higher power consumption.
MCP2221A MCHPMicrochip Technology - Offers both UART and I2C bridging capabilities in a single device for more complex peripheral requirements.
