Product details
Overview
W632GU8KB15I from Winbond Electronics is a 2 Gb (256 MB) DDR3L SDRAM organized as 32M × 8 banks × 8 bits, operating at 1.35 V nominal supply with industrial temperature range support (–40°C to +95°C), compliant with DDR3L-1333 (9-9-9) timing, and packaged in 78-ball WBGA (8 mm × 10.5 mm). It serves as main memory or buffer storage in embedded controllers, network processors, and industrial HMIs requiring low-voltage, high-reliability DRAM.
For engineers reviewing the W632GU8KB15I datasheet, W632GU8KB15I pinout, W632GU8KB15I application, or W632GU8KB15I equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, ball mapping, JEDEC-compliant timing parameters, industrial-grade thermal validation, and direct alternatives for DDR3L-1333 memory replacement in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
This DDR3L SDRAM implements an 8-bit prefetch architecture with eight internal banks enabling concurrent access, DLL-aligned DQ/DQS timing, and source-synchronous data transfer using differential CK/CK# and DQS/DQS# pairs. It supports programmable CAS Latency (CL = 6, 7, 8, 9, 10), CAS Write Latency (CWL = 5–7), and additive latency (AL = 0, CL−1, CL−2) to optimize command bus efficiency.
Key operational features include asynchronous RESET#, ZQ calibration for output driver and ODT impedance tuning, dynamic and synchronous on-die termination (Rtt_WR, Rtt_NOM), multi-purpose register (MPR) for system-level timing calibration, and partial array self-refresh (PASR) for power-sensitive applications. The device supports both auto-precharge and manual precharge modes across all burst operations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Gb (256 MB), organized as 32M words × 8 banks × 8 bits - defines usable capacity and address space for memory controllers. |
| Speed Grade | DDR3L-1333 (9-9-9) - guarantees tRCD/tRP/tAA ≤ 13.5 ns at 667 MHz clock (1333 MT/s), validated for industrial temp range. |
| Supply Voltage | VDD/VDDQ = 1.283 V to 1.45 V (1.35 V typical) - enables lower power vs. standard DDR3 while maintaining backward compatibility to 1.5 V systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C ≤ TCASE ≤ 95°C - qualified for extended industrial environments with mandatory ASR or Manual Self-Refresh above 85°C. |
| Burst Length | BL8 (fixed) and BC4 (on-the-fly selectable) - determines data transfer granularity per READ/WRITE command, critical for bandwidth matching. |
| CAS Latency Range | CL = 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 - configurable via mode register MR0; CL=9 required for DDR3L-1333 compliance at full speed. |
| Self-Refresh Current | IDD6 ≤ 19 mA at 0°C–85°C - quantifies standby power draw during retention mode, essential for battery-backed or low-power idle states. |
| Package | 78-ball WBGA, 8 mm × 10.5 mm, RoHS-compliant, lead-free - surface-mount footprint optimized for high-density PCB layouts with thermal pad grounding. |
Pinout & Package
W632GU8KB15I uses a 78-ball Wafer-Level Ball Grid Array (WBGA) package measuring 8 mm × 10.5 mm with exposed thermal pad (VSS) on underside. Ball pitch is 0.8 mm; balls are arranged in 9 rows × 9 columns with corner voids (A1, A9, J1, J9 unpopulated).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CK / CK# | Differential clock input | Samples all address/control inputs at crossing point; defines timing reference for all internal operations and data strobes. |
| DQS / DQS# | Differential data strobe (bidirectional) | Source-synchronous timing reference: center-aligned with write data, edge-aligned with read data; enables precise capture at controller. |
| RESET# | Asynchronous reset input | Initiates power-up sequence or hard reset; must be held low ≥ 200 ns before stable VDD/VDDQ and ≥ 500 µs after stabilization. |
| ODT | On-die termination control | Enables/disables programmable termination resistors (Rtt_NOM/Rtt_WR) on DQ/DQS/DM lines to suppress reflections on high-speed buses. |
| ZQ | Calibration reference terminal | Connects to 240 Ω ±1 % external resistor to ground; used for factory and runtime calibration of output drivers and ODT impedances. |
| VREFCA / VREFDQ | Reference voltage inputs | VREFCA sets mid-point threshold for command/address inputs; VREFDQ sets threshold for DQ/DM/DQS I/Os - both require 0.5 × VDDQ ±1%. |
| A10/AP | Address/Activate Power-down | When asserted during PRECHARGE, selects auto-precharge; when asserted during ACTIVATE, enables partial array self-refresh (PASR). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DDR3L Low-Voltage Operation | 1.35 V nominal supply reduces active and standby power by ~20% vs. 1.5 V DDR3, validated across full industrial temperature range. |
| Dynamic On-Die Termination (Rtt_WR) | Programmable termination during WRITE bursts only - improves signal integrity without impacting READ timing margins or power. |
| Write Leveling Support | Enables controller-driven DQS-to-CK skew calibration at system boot - essential for reliable timing closure in high-speed DDR3L interfaces. |
| Multi-Purpose Register (MPR) | Predefined 128-bit pattern accessible via MRS reads - used for system-level timing margin testing and eye-diagram characterization. |
| Auto Self-Refresh (ASR) & PASR | ASR automatically adjusts refresh rate based on temperature; PASR allows selective bank refresh - both reduce IDD6 current in thermally constrained systems. |
| Backward 1.5 V Compatibility | Operates fully compliant at 1.5 V ±0.075 V - enables drop-in replacement in legacy DDR3 designs without hardware modification. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DDR3L memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT41K256M8RH-125:E (Micron) | DDR3L-1600 (11-11-11), 2 Gb, 96-ball FBGA - higher speed grade, larger package, tighter tRCD/tRP (11 ns). | Requires PCB redesign due to different ball count/pitch; suitable where bandwidth >12.8 GB/s is needed. | Select if system clock supports ≥800 MHz and layout allows 96-ball footprint; not drop-in compatible. |
| IS43TR16256B-125KBL (ISSI) | DDR3L-1600 (11-11-11), 2 Gb, 96-ball FBGA - same speed bin as Micron part, identical package but different ball map. | Also requires board revision; offers extended voltage range (1.283–1.45 V) and same industrial temp support. | Prefer for second-source assurance in new designs targeting DDR3L-1600; verify ball-out against controller routing. |
Compared with W632GU8KB15I, both alternatives operate at DDR3L-1600 speed and require 96-ball packages, making them unsuitable for direct replacement without PCB changes; W632GU8KB15I remains optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial designs needing DDR3L-1333 performance and 78-ball WBGA compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported CAS Latency for W632GU8KB15I at DDR3L-1333 speed?
W632GU8KB15I supports CAS Latency settings of 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 at DDR3L-1333 speed. CL=9 is the default and JEDEC-compliant setting for the -15/15I speed grade, delivering tRCD/tRP/tAA ≤ 13.5 ns. CL=10 is permitted but requires corresponding SPD programming and timing margin verification in the host controller.
Does W632GU8KB15I support 1.5 V operation, and what conditions apply?
Yes, W632GU8KB15I is backward compatible with 1.5 V ±0.075 V DDR3 operation per JEDEC JESD79-3F. It retains full AC/DC specifications at 1.5 V, including timing, drive strength, and ODT behavior. No configuration change is needed - the device auto-adapts based on applied VDD/VDDQ voltage.
How is thermal management handled for W632GU8KB15I above 85°C case temperature?
For operation between 85°C and 95°C case temperature, W632GU8KB15I requires either Auto Self-Refresh (ASR) enabled via MR2 bit A6=1, or Manual Self-Refresh with Extended Temperature Range (MR2 A6=0, A7=1). Both modes double refresh frequency to 3.9 µS interval (tREFI), ensuring data retention without external intervention.
What is the function of the ZQ pin on W632GU8KB15I, and what external component is required?
The ZQ pin on W632GU8KB15I connects to a 240 Ω ±1 % precision resistor to ground, enabling factory and runtime calibration of output driver strength and on-die termination (ODT) impedances. This calibration ensures consistent signal integrity across voltage, temperature, and process variations - critical for reliable DDR3L-1333 operation.
Can W632GU8KB15I be used in systems requiring Partial Array Self-Refresh (PASR)?
Yes, W632GU8KB15I supports Partial Array Self-Refresh via A10/AP pin assertion during PRECHARGE commands. PASR allows selective refresh of active banks only, reducing self-refresh current (IDD6) by up to 40% compared to full-array refresh - beneficial in thermally constrained or battery-operated systems.
