Product details
Overview
W631GU8MB-15 TR from Winbond is a 1 Gb (128 MB) DDR3L SDRAM organized as 16M × 8 banks × 8 bits, operating at 1.35 V nominal supply with DDR3L-1333 speed grade (9-9-9 CL-tRCD-tRP), supporting CAS Latency 5–10 and CWL 5–7, and designed for low-power embedded systems requiring JEDEC-compliant memory in industrial temperature range (0°C to 95°C).
For engineers reviewing the W631GU8MB-15 TR datasheet, W631GU8MB-15 TR pinout, W631GU8MB-15 TR application, or W631GU8MB-15 TR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 78-ball VFBGA package, support for ZQ calibration, dynamic ODT, write leveling, MPR-based timing calibration, and compatibility with DDR3L-1333 timing across standard and extended temperature operation.
Technical Context
This DDR3L SDRAM implements an 8-bit prefetch architecture with eight internal banks, enabling concurrent access and high bandwidth efficiency. It uses differential CK/CK# inputs for command/address latching and differential DQS/DQS# for source-synchronous data transfer, with DLL alignment of DQ and DQS edges to CK.
It supports programmable features including additive latency (AL = 0, CL−1, CL−2), posted CAS, auto-precharge, partial array self-refresh (PASR), and asynchronous RESET# for power-up initialization. Mode registers MR0–MR3 configure CAS latency, CWL, ODT settings, PASR, ASR, and MPR functionality.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the W631GU8MB-15 TR?
The W631GU8MB-15 TR is rated for DDR3L-1333 operation, meaning it supports a maximum data rate of 1333 MT/s with a clock frequency of 667 MHz. Its tCK(AVG) specification allows stable operation down to 1.5 ns (667 MHz) for CL=9/CWL=7 configurations, and it complies fully with JEDEC JESD79-3F for DDR3L-1333 timing at 0°C to 95°C.
Does the W631GU8MB-15 TR support both 1.35 V and 1.5 V operation?
Yes, the W631GU8MB-15 TR supports dual-voltage operation: nominal 1.35 V (range 1.283 V–1.45 V) for DDR3L mode and backward compatibility with 1.5 V ± 0.075 V (1.425 V–1.575 V) for legacy DDR3 systems. Voltage switching must follow JEDEC-specified sequencing - VDD/VDDQ must ramp together, and mode register settings must be reprogrammed after voltage change.
How does the W631GU8MB-15 TR implement On-Die Termination (ODT)?
The W631GU8MB-15 TR provides programmable ODT via MR1 and MR2, supporting RTT_NOM values of 60 Ω, 120 Ω, or 40 Ω, plus dynamic ODT (Rtt_WR) during writes. ODT is enabled per-bank and controlled by the ODT pin; it applies to DQ, DQS/DQS#, and DM lines, improving signal integrity without external resistors.
What is the purpose of the ZQ pin on the W631GU8MB-15 TR?
The ZQ pin on the W631GU8MB-15 TR connects to a 240 Ω ±1 % external resistor to ground and enables factory-trimmed and runtime-calibrated output driver strength and ODT impedance. ZQ calibration ensures ±10 % impedance accuracy across voltage and temperature, critical for maintaining signal integrity at DDR3L-1333 speeds.
Can the W631GU8MB-15 TR operate in Partial Array Self-Refresh (PASR) mode?
Yes, the W631GU8MB-15 TR supports PASR via MR2, allowing selective self-refresh of ¼, ½, or ¾ of the memory array. This feature reduces IDD6 current by up to 50 % compared to full-array self-refresh, directly extending battery life in portable and energy-sensitive applications without sacrificing data retention.
