Product details
Overview
W632GG8NB-15 from Winbond is a 2 Gb (256 MB) DDR3 SDRAM organized as 32M × 8 banks × 8 bits, operating at DDR3-1333 speed (9-9-9 CL/tRCD/tRP), with 1.5 V supply, SSTL_15 interface, and VFBGA-78 (8 mm × 10.5 mm) package. It supports programmable CAS Write Latency (CWL = 5–7), on-die termination (ODT), ZQ calibration, and asynchronous RESET# for embedded computing and industrial control memory subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the W632GG8NB-15 datasheet, W632GG8NB-15 pinout, W632GG8NB-15 application, or W632GG8NB-15 equivalent, this page delivers verified timing parameters, ball configuration, ODT behavior, power-down modes, and JEDEC-compliant DDR3-1333 operation under 0°C to 95°C case temperature.
Technical Context
The W632GG8NB-15 implements an 8-bit prefetch architecture with eight internal banks, enabling concurrent access and interleaved burst operations. Its DLL-aligned DQS-DQ timing ensures precise source-synchronous data capture, while posted CAS with additive latency (AL = 0, CL−1, CL−2) improves command bus efficiency.
It supports full DDR3 features including dynamic ODT (Rtt_WR), multi-purpose register (MPR) for system-level timing calibration, write leveling, partial array self-refresh (PASR), and auto self-refresh (ASR) - all configurable via mode registers MR0–MR3 and controlled by differential CK/CK# and bidirectional DQS/DQS# signals.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable CWL | CWL = 5–7 selected per operating frequency - ensures optimal write strobe-to-data alignment at DDR3-1333 |
| ZQ Calibration | One-time or periodic calibration using external 240 Ω ±1% resistor - maintains output driver and ODT impedance accuracy over voltage/temperature |
| Dynamic ODT (Rtt_WR) | Termination enabled only during WRITE bursts - reduces noise and improves signal integrity without affecting read paths |
| Multi-Purpose Register (MPR) | Predefined 128-bit pattern accessible via MRS - enables system-level timing margin verification and write leveling calibration |
| Partial Array Self-Refresh (PASR) | Refresh only selected banks - cuts IDD6 current up to 40% in partial-memory-active systems |
| Posted CAS with AL | AL = 0, CL−1, or CL−2 - decouples command issuance from data availability, increasing bus utilization in burst-heavy workloads |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the W632GG8NB-15?
The W632GG8NB-15 supports a maximum clock frequency of 667 MHz, delivering a data rate of 1333 MT/s (DDR3-1333). This is confirmed by its speed bin designation "-15", corresponding to CL-tRCD-tRP = 9-9-9 timing and fCKMAX = 667 MHz per JEDEC JESD209-3. The W632GG8NB-15 must be operated within this limit to meet all AC timing specifications, including tAA = 13.5 ns minimum and tRC = 49.5 ns minimum.
Does the W632GG8NB-15 support on-die termination (ODT), and how is it configured?
Yes, the W632GG8NB-15 supports programmable on-die termination (ODT) for DQ, DQS, and DM lines via mode register MR1 and MR2. ODT values (RTT_NOM, RTT_WR) are set using ODT pins or mode register bits, with supported impedances including 75 Ω, 150 Ω, and 50 Ω depending on configuration. Dynamic ODT (Rtt_WR) activates automatically during WRITE bursts, improving signal integrity without requiring external resistors - a key feature confirmed in Section 9.19 of the W632GG8NB-15 datasheet.
What package type and ball count does the W632GG8NB-15 use?
The W632GG8NB-15 uses a VFBGA-78 package: a 8 mm × 10.5 mm, 1.0 mm thick, lead-free, RoHS-compliant window-type ball grid array with 78 solder balls arranged in a 9×9 grid (with corner balls omitted). Ball configuration and signal mapping are fully documented in Sections 6 and 7 of the official datasheet, confirming compatibility with standard DDR3 layout guidelines and IPC-7351B footprint standards.
Can the W632GG8NB-15 operate outside the 0°C to 95°C case temperature range?
No - the W632GG8NB-15 is rated strictly for 0°C ≤ TCASE ≤ 95°C. Unlike its -15I and -15J variants, the "-15" suffix denotes commercial temperature grade only. Operation beyond 95°C violates JEDEC specifications and risks timing violations, increased IDD6 current, and potential data retention failure. For extended temperature applications, Winbond offers W632GG8NB15I (-40°C to 95°C) and W632GG8NB15J (-40°C to 105°C) variants with enhanced refresh and ASR support.
How does write leveling function in the W632GG8NB-15, and is it mandatory?
Write leveling in the W632GG8NB-15 is a calibration procedure that adjusts DQS delay relative to CK to compensate for board skew, using the MPR to return a known pattern. It is mandatory for reliable operation at DDR3-1333 speeds, especially with >2-inch trace lengths. The process is initiated via MRS command and requires host controller support; Section 9.9 of the W632GG8NB-15 datasheet specifies timing, entry/exit sequences, and DQS duty-cycle constraints essential for successful calibration.
