Product details
Overview
W94AD6KBHX6I TR from Winbond is a 1Gb mobile LPDDR SDRAM (x16) operating at 166MHz with 1.8V VDD/VDDQ supply, CAS latency of 2 or 3, and 4 internal banks. It supports burst lengths of 2/4/8/16, sequential or interleave burst type, and low-power modes including Deep Power Down and Partial Array Self Refresh - deployed in battery-constrained mobile application processors and embedded SoCs requiring high bandwidth per watt.
For engineers reviewing the W94AD6KBHX6I TR datasheet, W94AD6KBHX6I TR pinout, W94AD6KBHX6I TR application, or W94AD6KBHX6I TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60-ball VFBGA package, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), LPDDR x16 interface timing compliance, and support for ATCSR and PASR - critical for thermal-aware mobile memory subsystems.
Technical Context
This LPDDR SDRAM implements a four-bank architecture with independent row activation and column access, enabling bank interleaving to hide precharge latency. Its differential CK/CK clock inputs synchronize all command, address, and data transfers, while bidirectional DQS strobes (UDQS/LDQS) center-align write data and edge-align read data.
Initialization requires strict sequencing: power ramp with CKE high, ≥200μs stable clocks, PRECHARGE ALL, two AUTO REFRESH commands, then Mode Register and Extended Mode Register programming. The device supports programmable output drive strength, auto-precharge, and clock stop - all configurable via EMRS for dynamic power adaptation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Gb (128 MB) organized as 4 banks × 8K rows × 1K columns × 16-bit I/O |
| Data Width & Interface | x16 LPDDR interface with LVCMOS-compatible signaling and differential CK/CK inputs |
| Max Clock Rate | 166 MHz (–6 speed grade), supporting 333 MT/s data rate with double-data-rate transfers |
| CAS Latency | Programmable CL = 2 or 3 cycles; determines minimum READ-to-data-valid delay under timing constraints |
| Power Supply | VDD = VDDQ = 1.8 V ± 5%; separate VDDQ rail isolates I/O noise from core logic |

Pinout & Package
W94AD6KBHX6I TR uses a 60-ball Very Thin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (60VFBGA) package, 8 mm × 10.5 mm × 0.6 mm, compliant with JEDEC MO-245. Ball pitch is 0.5 mm; solder mask defined (SMD) pads; RoHS-compliant matte tin finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A13 | Input Address | Row/column address bus; A10 doubles as Auto Precharge enable (AP) during READ/WRITE |
| BA0, BA1 | Input Bank Select | Selects one of four internal banks for ACTIVE, READ, WRITE, or PRECHARGE commands |
| CS, RAS, CAS, WE | Input Command Strobes | Encoded command inputs; CS enables command decoder, RAS/CAS/WE define operation type |
| CK, CK | Differential Clock Inputs | Edge-triggered reference for all synchronous operations; internal PLL derives system clocks |
| CKE | Input Clock Enable | Asynchronous entry into Power Down, Self Refresh, or Deep Power Down when driven LOW |
| DQ0–DQ15 | I/O Data Bus | 16-bit bidirectional data path; supports burst reads/writes with DM masking (UDM/LDM) |
| UDQS, LDQS | I/O Data Strobe | Strobe pairs aligned to DQ0–DQ7 (LDQS) and DQ8–DQ15 (UDQS); used for source-synchronous capture |
| UDM, LDM | Input Data Mask | Write data masking per byte lane; sampled on both DQS edges for precise timing alignment |
| VDD, VSS | Core Power/Ground | 1.8 V core supply and return; decoupling required within 10 mm of package for noise immunity |
| VDDQ, VSSQ | I/O Power/Ground | Isolated 1.8 V I/O supply; prevents switching noise from corrupting core logic signals |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Partial Array Self Refresh (PASR) | Reduces self-refresh current up to 50% by refreshing only active subarrays - extends battery life in partial-workload states |
| Automatic Temperature Compensated Self Refresh (ATCSR) | Adjusts refresh interval dynamically with junction temperature; eliminates over-refresh at low Tj and under-refresh at high Tj |
| Programmable Output Drive Strength | Configurable via EMRS to match PCB trace impedance (e.g., 40 Ω or 60 Ω), minimizing signal integrity issues |
| Deep Power Down Mode | Reduces standby current to <10 µA; retains no data but enables fastest wake-up among ultra-low-power states |
| Bidirectional DQS with Center-Aligned Write | Enables precise write capture using DQS-to-DQ skew tuning; supports DDR timing closure without phase-locked loops |
| Auto Precharge Option | Automatically precharges target bank after each burst, eliminating explicit PRE command overhead in sequential access patterns |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LPDDR SDRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT46H128M16LFCK-6 IT:F | Same density (1Gb x16), same 60VFBGA package, but operates at 200MHz (CL=3 only); higher IDD active current | Preferred where higher bandwidth (3.2 GB/s) justifies increased power; lacks PASR and ATCSR | Choose for performance-critical designs with adequate thermal headroom and no need for advanced self-refresh optimization |
| IS42S16160F-6BLI | Legacy LPDDR1 (not LPDDR2), 1.2V core, 66MHz max; incompatible voltage, timing, and command set | Only suitable for cost-sensitive legacy redesigns where LPDDR2 features are unused | Not recommended as functional alternative; requires full PHY and controller revalidation due to protocol incompatibility |
Compared with W94AD6KBHX6I TR, MT46H128M16LFCK-6 IT:F offers higher speed but sacrifices PASR/ATCSR power savings, while IS42S16160F-6BLI is architecturally incompatible - making W94AD6KBHX6I TR the optimal balance of industrial temperature support, advanced low-power modes, and LPDDR2 protocol compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by W94AD6KBHX6I TR?
W94AD6KBHX6I TR supports a maximum clock frequency of 166 MHz, delivering a double-data-rate transfer rate of 333 MT/s. This yields a peak theoretical bandwidth of 2.66 GB/s over its 16-bit bus. The device is rated for –6 speed grade, and its AC timing parameters (e.g., tAC, tDQSQ) are fully characterized at this rate under industrial temperature and 1.8 V supply conditions.
Does W94AD6KBHX6I TR support CAS latency of 2 and 3 simultaneously?
W94AD6KBHX6I TR supports programmable CAS latency of either CL = 2 or CL = 3, selected during Mode Register initialization. Both values are valid and fully characterized in the datasheet, but only one is active at a time. The choice depends on system timing margin: CL = 2 reduces read latency for real-time tasks, while CL = 3 allows relaxed setup/hold timing for longer trace lengths or higher noise environments.
How does Partial Array Self Refresh (PASR) function in W94AD6KBHX6I TR?
In W94AD6KBHX6I TR, PASR allows selective self-refresh of only designated banks or subarrays, reducing refresh current by up to 50% compared to full-array refresh. Configuration is done via Extended Mode Register bits, enabling dynamic power scaling when only portions of memory are actively used - such as retaining boot code in Bank 0 while idling Banks 1–3 in a mobile OS suspend state.
What is the ball count and package type of W94AD6KBHX6I TR?
W94AD6KBHX6I TR uses a 60-ball Very Thin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (60VFBGA) package measuring 8 mm × 10.5 mm × 0.6 mm with 0.5 mm pitch. This matches the LPDDR x16 configuration specified in the datasheet and is distinct from the 90VFBGA used for x32 variants like W94AD2KB. The package is RoHS-compliant and designed for automated SMT assembly.
Can W94AD6KBHX6I TR operate in Deep Power Down mode while retaining data?
No, W94AD6KBHX6I TR does not retain data in Deep Power Down (DPD) mode. DPD disables all internal circuitry including the memory array, reducing current to <10 µA but requiring full reinitialization (including PRECHARGE ALL and two AUTO REFRESH commands) upon exit. For data retention, use Self Refresh or ATCSR modes instead - DPD is intended for longest-duration idle periods where memory contents are not needed.
