Product details
Overview
W631GU6NB-15 from Winbond is a 1G-bit DDR3L SDRAM organized as 8M × 8 banks × 16 bits, operating at DDR3L-1333 speed (9-9-9 CL-tRCD-tRP), with 1.35V nominal supply (1.283–1.45V range), VFBGA-96 package (7.5 × 13 mm), and industrial-grade 0°C to 95°C case temperature support. It delivers reliable memory buffering for embedded controllers, network edge devices, and industrial HMIs requiring low-voltage, JEDEC-compliant DDR3L operation.
For engineers reviewing the W631GU6NB-15 datasheet, W631GU6NB-15 pinout, W631GU6NB-15 application, or W631GU6NB-15 equivalent, this page provides verified timing parameters, ball configuration, ODT and ZQ calibration behavior, CAS Write Latency (CWL=5–7) mapping, and DDR3L-1333-specific AC timing constraints including tAA = 13.5 ns min and tRCD = 13.5 ns min.
Technical Context
This DDR3L SDRAM implements an 8-bit prefetch architecture with eight internal banks, supporting concurrent bank activation and auto-precharge. Its DLL-aligned DQS/DQ timing, posted CAS with programmable additive latency (AL = 0, CL−1, CL−2), and bi-directional differential strobes enable precise source-synchronous data capture at 1333 MT/s.
It features asynchronous RESET# for power-up initialization, on-die termination (ODT) with synchronous/dynamic modes, ZQ calibration using external 240 Ω resistor, and Multi-Purpose Register (MPR) for system-level timing calibration via write leveling and predefined read patterns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 G-bit (8M words × 8 banks × 16 bits), enabling 16 MB of 16-bit-wide memory space per device. |
| Data Rate | DDR3L-1333 (667 MHz clock → 1333 MT/s), requiring tCK(AVG) ≤ 1.5 ns for CL=9/CWL=7 operation. |
| Supply Voltage | VDD/VDDQ = 1.283 V to 1.45 V (1.35 V typical); backward compatible to 1.5 V ± 0.075 V for legacy DDR3 systems. |
| CAS Latency | Configurable CL = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10; CL=9 required for DDR3L-1333 timing compliance (tAA/tRCD/tRP = 9-9-9). |
| CAS Write Latency | Programmable CWL = 5, 6, or 7; CWL=7 used with CL=9 to achieve WL = AL + CWL = 9 for write timing alignment. |
| Refresh Interval | tREFI = 7.8 µs at 0°C ≤ TCASE ≤ 85°C; doubles to 3.9 µs above 85°C, mandating ASR or Manual Self-Refresh mode activation. |
| Package | VFBGA-96 (7.5 × 13 mm, 1.0 mm height), RoHS-compliant, lead-free, window-type BGA with 0.8 mm ball pitch. |
Pinout & Package
VFBGA-96 package (7.5 mm × 13 mm, 1.0 mm thickness) with 0.8 mm ball pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free construction. Ball layout follows JEDEC MO-275AC standard for DDR3L SDRAM.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | Row/column address inputs; A12–A14 also encode bank address in burst mode per JEDEC DDR3L spec. |
| BA0–BA2 | Bank Address Inputs | Select one of eight internal banks; sampled with ACT command to determine target bank. |
| CK / CK# | Differential Clock Inputs | Edge-triggered command/address latching at CK rising / CK# falling crossing point; defines all timing windows. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/Os | 16-bit bidirectional data bus; synchronized to DQS/DQS#; supports BL8 and BC4 burst modes. |
| DQS / DQS# | Differential Data Strobe | Source-synchronous strobe: center-aligned with write data, edge-aligned with read data; DLL-aligned to CK. |
| DM0–DM1 | Data Mask Inputs | Per-byte write masking for DQ[7:0] and DQ[15:8]; active-high masks corresponding byte during WRITE. |
| RESET# | Asynchronous Reset | Active-low signal initiating power-up initialization sequence and full device reset independent of clock state. |
| ODT | On-Die Termination Control | Dynamic ODT enable input; selects Rtt_Nom values (60/120/40 Ω) per MR1 settings during WRITE operations. |
| WE#, RAS#, CAS# | Command Control Inputs | Standard DDR3 command pins; decoded with A0–A14/BA0–BA2 on CK rising edge to generate ACT, READ, WRITE, PRE, REF. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable CAS Write Latency (CWL) | CWL = 5, 6, or 7 ensures optimal write timing alignment across DDR3L-1333 frequency; enables WL = AL + CWL matching system controller requirements. |
| ZQ Calibration | Uses external 240 Ω ±1% resistor to calibrate output driver strength and ODT impedance, maintaining signal integrity across voltage/temperature variation. |
| Dynamic ODT (Rtt_WR) | Enables on-the-fly ODT activation during WRITE bursts only, reducing standby power while preserving write signal integrity without affecting read paths. |
| Multi-Purpose Register (MPR) | Provides predefined 128-bit calibration pattern for system-level timing margin verification and write leveling setup without disturbing memory array contents. |
| Partial Array Self-Refresh (PASR) | Reduces self-refresh current by refreshing only active banks (via MR2 A1–A3), cutting IDD6 by up to 40% in partial-bank workloads. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DDR3L SDRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS43TR16128B-15KBL | Same density (1G-bit), VFBGA-96, DDR3L-1333, CL=9, but rated for -40°C to 105°C (industrial-plus) and requires 240 Ω ZQ resistor with tighter tolerance (±0.5%). | Supports extended temperature operation beyond W631GU6NB-15's 95°C limit; suitable for outdoor metering or automotive infotainment head units. | Select IS43TR16128B-15KBL when ambient temperature exceeds 95°C or when tighter ZQ calibration stability is required. |
| MT41K128M16JT-125K | Higher speed grade (DDR3L-1600, CL=11), same 1G-bit density and VFBGA-96, but operates at 1.2V core (VDDQ=1.35V) and lacks PASR support. | Delivers higher bandwidth (1600 MT/s) but consumes more active current (IDD1 = 105 mA vs. 95 mA) and cannot reduce self-refresh power via bank masking. | Choose MT41K128M16JT-125K only if system clock budget permits 800 MHz and PASR is not needed for power optimization. |
Compared with IS43TR16128B-15KBL and MT41K128M16JT-125K, W631GU6NB-15 offers optimal balance of cost, industrial temperature range, and power-aware features like PASR and dynamic ODT - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained embedded designs where 1333 MT/s suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by W631GU6NB-15?
W631GU6NB-15 is rated for DDR3L-1333 operation, corresponding to a maximum clock frequency of 667 MHz (1333 MT/s). Its tCK(AVG) specification supports 1.5 ns minimum clock period for CL=9/CWL=7 configurations, and it does not support higher-speed bins such as DDR3L-1600 or DDR3L-1866.
Does W631GU6NB-15 support both 1.35V and 1.5V VDD/VDDQ operation?
Yes, W631GU6NB-15 is fully backward compatible with standard DDR3 1.5V systems. It operates within 1.283–1.45V for DDR3L mode and accepts 1.5V ± 0.075V for DDR3 mode, with no hardware modification required - voltage selection is determined solely by the host system's power delivery design.
How is the W631GU6NB-15 refresh interval affected by temperature?
At 0°C ≤ TCASE ≤ 85°C, W631GU6NB-15 uses tREFI = 7.8 µS. Above 85°C, the interval halves to 3.9 µS - requiring either Auto Self-Refresh (ASR) enabled via MR2 or Manual Self-Refresh entry to maintain data retention, as standard auto-refresh commands alone are insufficient.
What termination resistances are supported by W631GU6NB-15's on-die termination (ODT)?
W631GU6NB-15 supports programmable ODT values of 60 Ω, 120 Ω, and 40 Ω (Rtt_Nom) via MR1, plus dynamic ODT (Rtt_WR) values of 60 Ω or 120 Ω during WRITE operations. These are calibrated using an external 240 Ω ±1% ZQ reference resistor connected to the ZQ pin.
Can W631GU6NB-15 be used in systems requiring Partial Array Self-Refresh (PASR)?
Yes, W631GU6NB-15 supports PASR via MR2 register bits A1–A3, allowing selective self-refresh of 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, or all 8 banks. This feature reduces self-refresh current (IDD6) proportionally - e.g., refreshing half the array cuts IDD6 from 10 mA to ~5 mA - extending battery life in portable applications.
