Product details
Overview
W631GU6MB-15 from Winbond is a 1G-bit DDR3L SDRAM organized as 8M × 8 banks × 16 bits, operating at 1.35V nominal supply with DDR3L-1333 speed grade (9-9-9 timing), supporting CAS Latency 5–10 and CWL 5–7. It delivers 1333 MT/s data transfer rate in consumer-grade temperature range (0°C to 95°C) and is used in embedded computing, industrial HMIs, and low-power networking equipment requiring JEDEC-compliant memory with backward 1.5V DDR3 compatibility.
For engineers reviewing the W631GU6MB-15 datasheet, W631GU6MB-15 pinout, W631GU6MB-15 application, or W631GU6MB-15 equivalent, key selection considerations include its VFBGA-96 package, 1.35V operation with 1.5V fallback support, programmable ODT and ZQ calibration, DLL-enabled source-synchronous DQS alignment, and industrial-temperature-compatible variants (W631GU6MB-15I/J).
Technical Context
This DDR3L SDRAM implements an 8-bit prefetch architecture with eight internal banks for concurrent access and supports both burst length 8 (BL8) and burst chop 4 (BC4) modes via mode register or on-the-fly selection. Its differential CK/CK# input synchronizes all commands, while bi-directional DQS/DQS# strobes edge-align with read data and center-align with write data.
The device integrates asynchronous RESET#, programmable CAS Write Latency (CWL), additive latency (AL = 0, CL−1, CL−2), auto-precharge, and multi-purpose register (MPR) for system-level timing calibration. It supports ZQ calibration for output driver and ODT impedance tuning, dynamic ODT during writes, and partial array self-refresh (PASR) for power optimization.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DDR3L SDRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT41K128M16JT-125:K | 1G-bit DDR3L, 125-ball FBGA, 1600 MT/s base speed (CL=11), 1.35V only (no 1.5V fallback) | Higher performance tier; requires tighter layout control for 1600 MT/s; no 1.5V compatibility | Choose when higher bandwidth is needed and design can accommodate stricter signal integrity requirements. |
| IS43TR16128B-15KBL | 1G-bit DDR3L, 96-ball VFBGA, DDR3L-1333 (9-9-9), 1.35V nominal, supports 1.5V but with reduced timing margin | Same package and speed grade; slightly higher IDD0/IDD1 current draw; different MPR implementation | Valid drop-in alternative if board layout and thermal budget allow minor power increase and MPR usage is not required. |
Compared with W631GU6MB-15, MT41K128M16JT-125:K offers higher bandwidth but sacrifices 1.5V compatibility and increases layout complexity, while IS43TR16128B-15KBL matches speed and package but trades off tighter power envelope for identical functional coverage.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the W631GU6MB-15?
The W631GU6MB-15 is rated for DDR3L-1333 operation, meaning it supports a maximum clock frequency of 667 MHz (1333 MT/s data rate). Its tCK(AVG) specification is 1.5 ns minimum for CL=9/CWL=7 configurations, and it complies fully with JEDEC JESD79-3F for this speed bin under 0°C to 95°C case temperature conditions. The W631GU6MB-15 does not support higher speed grades like DDR3L-1600 or DDR3L-1866.
Does the W631GU6MB-15 support 1.5V DDR3 operation?
Yes, the W631GU6MB-15 is backward compatible with standard 1.5V DDR3 systems. Its VDD/VDDQ supply accepts 1.5V ±75 mV per JEDEC specifications, enabling drop-in replacement in legacy 1.5V designs. However, when operated at 1.5V, timing parameters such as tRCD and tRP must be verified against the 1.5V-specific AC table in the datasheet, and certain low-power features like deep power-down may not be available.
What package type and ball count does the W631GU6MB-15 use?
The W631GU6MB-15 uses a 96-ball Very Thin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA) package measuring 7.5 mm × 13 mm with 0.8 mm ball pitch. This JEDEC-standard footprint matches other DDR3L SDRAMs in the same density class and supports automated assembly with standard reflow profiles. The W631GU6MB-15's VFBGA-96 layout is documented in Section 5 ("Ball Configuration") of its datasheet.
How does the W631GU6MB-15 handle refresh at elevated temperatures?
At case temperatures above 85°C, the W631GU6MB-15 requires halving the refresh interval from 7.8 µS to 3.9 µS - effectively doubling the refresh command rate - to maintain data retention. This is mandated per JEDEC for DDR3L devices operating up to 95°C. The W631GU6MB-15 supports both Auto Self-Refresh (ASR) and Manual Self-Refresh modes to manage this requirement without host intervention during thermal excursions.
Can the W631GU6MB-15 be used with write leveling and MPR for system calibration?
Yes, the W631GU6MB-15 fully supports write leveling and Multi-Purpose Register (MPR) functionality as defined in JEDEC DDR3L standards. Write leveling calibrates DQ-to-DQS timing skew per byte lane, while MPR provides a predefined read pattern for verifying timing margins. These features are accessible via standard mode register writes and are essential for robust high-speed interface bring-up in systems using the W631GU6MB-15.
