Product details
Overview
W631GU8KB12I TR from Winbond is a 1G-bit DDR3L SDRAM organized as 16M × 8 banks × 8 bits, operating at 1.35V nominal supply with industrial temperature range (−40°C to +95°C), supporting DDR3L-1600 speed grade (11-11-11 CL/tRCD/tRP), and delivering 1600 Mb/sec/pin data transfer rate for embedded computing and networking memory subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the W631GU8KB12I TR datasheet, W631GU8KB12I TR pinout, W631GU8KB12I TR application, or W631GU8KB12I TR equivalent, key selection considerations include its industrial-grade thermal compliance, programmable CAS Write Latency (CWL = 5–8), on-die termination (ODT) with dynamic Rtt_WR support, and ZQ calibration for output driver and ODT impedance tuning.
Technical Context
This DDR3L SDRAM implements an 8-bit prefetch architecture with eight internal banks enabling concurrent access, differential CK/CK# clocking synchronized at the crosspoint, and bi-directional DQS/DQS# strobes edge-aligned on reads and center-aligned on writes. It supports posted CAS with additive latency (AL = 0, CL−1, CL−2) and auto-precharge for burst operations.
The device integrates asynchronous RESET# for power-up initialization, multi-purpose register (MPR) for system timing calibration bit pattern readout, write leveling for per-DQ skew compensation, and dynamic ODT mode with programmable Rtt_WR values during write cycles to maintain signal integrity under varying load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 G-bit (16M words × 8 banks × 8 bits) |
| Data Rate | 1600 Mb/sec/pin (DDR3L-1600, fCK = 800 MHz) |

| CAS Latency (CL) | Supports CL = 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 (12I grade supports CL = 6, (7), 8, (9), 10, 11) |
| CAS Write Latency (CWL) | Programmable CWL = 5, 6, 7, 8; WL = AL + CWL determines write timing alignment |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C ≤ TCASE ≤ 95°C (industrial grade, 12I suffix) |

Pinout & Package
Packaged in lead-free, RoHS-compliant WBGA-78 (8 mm × 10.5 mm, 0.8 mm pitch), with ball grid layout optimized for DDR3L signal integrity and thermal dissipation in high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CK / CK# | Differential clock input | Samples all address/control inputs at rising CK / falling CK# crossing; defines timing reference for all operations |
| DQS / DQS# | Differential data strobe | Source-synchronous strobe for read/write data; edge-aligned on reads, center-aligned on writes |
| RESET# | Asynchronous reset input | Initiates power-up sequence or functional reset independent of clock; required for initialization |
| ODT | On-die termination control | Enables/disables programmable termination resistors on DQ, DM, DQS pins per MR1 configuration |
| ZQ | Calibration reference terminal | Connects to external 240 Ω ±1% resistor to ground for factory-trimmed output driver and ODT impedance calibration |
| VREFCA / VREFDQ | Reference voltage inputs | VREFCA sets command/address threshold; VREFDQ sets data I/O threshold - both require stable 0.5×VDDQ supply |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dynamic ODT (Rtt_WR) | Configurable termination impedance during write bursts improves signal integrity without requiring external resistors |
| ZQ Calibration | One-time or periodic calibration using external 240 Ω resistor ensures ±2% output driver and ODT impedance accuracy over voltage/temperature |
| Write Leveling | Per-DQ delay adjustment via MPR read pattern enables precise DQS-to-DQ timing alignment for reliable high-speed writes |
| Multi-Purpose Register (MPR) | Predefined calibration bit pattern accessible via read command supports automated system-level timing margin validation |
| Partial Array Self Refresh (PASR) | Reduces self-refresh current up to 50% by refreshing only active memory subarrays instead of full bank array |
| Programmable Additive Latency (AL) | AL = 0, CL−1, or CL−2 optimizes command bus efficiency by decoupling command acceptance from CAS latency timing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DDR3L SDRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT41K128M8RH-125:E (Micron) | Same density, package (78-ball WBGA), and DDR3L-1600 speed grade; differs in ZQ calibration sequence and MPR pattern definition | Requires modified initialization firmware for ZQ exit timing and MPR read protocol | Preferred where Micron's long-term supply assurance and automotive qualification (AEC-Q200) are required |
| IS43TR16128B-125KBL (ISSI) | 16-bit bus width (vs. 8-bit), same 1G-bit density and industrial temp; requires PCB redesign due to 96-ball FBGA package and doubled data width | Not drop-in; necessitates memory controller reconfiguration and layout revision for x16 interface | Consider only when higher bandwidth (>3.2 GB/s) justifies board-level redesign and controller compatibility verification |
Compared with MT41K128M8RH-125:E and IS43TR16128B-125KBL, W631GU8KB12I TR offers native 8-bit bus width and simplified ZQ/MPR implementation for cost-sensitive industrial designs, while maintaining identical DDR3L-1600 timing and industrial temperature compliance without requiring controller-level changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by W631GU8KB12I TR?
W631GU8KB12I TR supports DDR3L-1600 operation at 800 MHz clock frequency (1600 Mb/sec/pin data rate), with tCK(AVG) ranging from 1.875 ns to <2.5 ns depending on CAS Latency setting. This speed grade is validated across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +95°C) and complies with JEDEC standard JESD79-3F for DDR3L SDRAM.
Does W631GU8KB12I TR support backward compatibility with standard 1.5V DDR3 systems?
Yes, W631GU8KB12I TR supports dual-voltage operation: it functions at 1.35V nominal (DDR3L mode) and is fully backward compatible with 1.5V ±75 mV DDR3 systems. The device maintains full AC/DC specifications at both voltages, allowing seamless integration into legacy 1.5V platforms without hardware modification.
How does the ZQ calibration function work on W631GU8KB12I TR?
W631GU8KB12I TR uses the ZQ pin to connect to an external 240 Ω ±1% precision resistor to ground. During ZQ calibration commands, internal circuitry measures this reference to trim output driver strength and on-die termination (ODT) impedances, achieving ±2% accuracy over voltage and temperature variations without requiring manual calibration in system firmware.
What is the purpose of the Multi-Purpose Register (MPR) in W631GU8KB12I TR?
The MPR in W631GU8KB12I TR stores a predefined 128-bit calibration pattern used during system initialization. When read via a dedicated MPR read command, it provides a known bit sequence that enables automatic measurement of DQS-to-DQ timing skew, supporting write leveling and margin validation without requiring custom test patterns or external instrumentation.
Can W631GU8KB12I TR operate in Partial Array Self Refresh (PASR) mode?
Yes, W631GU8KB12I TR supports PASR via Mode Register MR2. By programming PASR bits, users can restrict self-refresh to selected banks or subarrays, reducing IDD6 current by up to 50% compared to full-array refresh. This feature is especially valuable in battery-powered or thermally constrained industrial applications where dynamic power optimization is critical.
