Product details
Overview
W631GG8NB-12 TR from Winbond Electronics is a 1 Gb (128 MB) DDR3 SDRAM organized as 16M × 8 banks × 8 bits, compliant with DDR3-1600 (11-11-11) timing, operating at 1.5 V supply, and rated for 0°C to 95°C case temperature. It delivers 1600 MT/s data transfer rates with programmable CAS Latency (CL = 5–11), CAS Write Latency (CWL = 5–8), and supports ZQ calibration, on-die termination (ODT), and asynchronous reset for embedded computing and industrial control memory subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the W631GG8NB-12 TR datasheet, W631GG8NB-12 TR pinout, W631GG8NB-12 TR application, or W631GG8NB-12 TR equivalent, key selection criteria include DDR3-1600 speed bin compliance, VFBGA-78 package compatibility, SSTL_15 interface voltage level, CL/CWL programmability, and industrial-grade thermal range support without extended temperature variants.
Technical Context
This DDR3 SDRAM implements an 8-bit prefetch architecture with eight internal banks enabling concurrent access, DLL-aligned DQ/DQS timing, and source-synchronous I/O referenced to differential CK/CK# and DQS/DQS# pairs. It supports posted CAS with additive latency (AL = 0, CL−1, CL−2), auto-precharge, and burst lengths of 8 (BL8) or 4 (BC4) selectable on-the-fly.
Functional operation includes synchronous command decoding on CK rising edge, bi-directional differential strobes edge-aligned on reads and center-aligned on writes, and dynamic ODT control via MR1/MR2. Power management features include precharged/active power-down modes, self-refresh, partial array self-refresh (PASR), and ASR with temperature-triggered refresh rate doubling above 95°C.

FAQ
What DDR3 speed bin does W631GG8NB-12 TR support?
W631GG8NB-12 TR supports the DDR3-1600 speed bin with CL=11, tRCD/tRP=11-ns timing (11-11-11), and maximum clock frequency of 800 MHz (1600 MT/s). It is validated for operation at 1.5 V supply and 0°C to 95°C case temperature, meeting JEDEC standard JESD79-3F specifications for this speed grade.
Does W631GG8NB-12 TR support write leveling?
Yes, W631GG8NB-12 TR supports write leveling via mode register configuration (MR2 A10 = 1). This feature allows the memory controller to calibrate per-lane DQS-to-CK delay offsets during initialization, ensuring reliable write capture timing across all 8 data bits in each byte lane. The procedure is defined in section 8.9 of the W631GG8NB datasheet.
What is the package type and ball count of W631GG8NB-12 TR?
W631GG8NB-12 TR uses a VFBGA-78 package: 8 mm × 10.5 mm body size, 1.0 mm height, 0.8 mm ball pitch, and 78 solder balls arranged in a window BGA configuration. It is lead-free and RoHS-compliant, with ball assignments matching JEDEC-standard DDR3 SDRAM pinout for VFBGA-78.
Can W631GG8NB-12 TR operate at 1.35 V?
No, W631GG8NB-12 TR is specified only for 1.5 V ± 0.075 V operation (VDD/VDDQ). It is not a DDR3L device and does not guarantee functionality or timing compliance at 1.35 V. Using 1.35 V may result in failed initialization, data corruption, or premature wear; always supply 1.5 V per the W631GG8NB-12 TR datasheet DC operating conditions.
What termination resistors are required for W631GG8NB-12 TR's ZQ calibration?
W631GG8NB-12 TR requires a single 240 Ω ±1 % external resistor connected between the ZQ pin and VSS (ground), with minimal parasitic capacitance (<2 pF) and trace length <5 mm. This resistor serves as the reference for both output driver strength calibration and on-die termination (ODT) impedance tuning, as specified in section 8.18 of the W631GG8NB datasheet.
