Product details
Overview
W957A8MFYA5I from Winbond Electronics is a 128Mb (16MB) HyperRAM device operating at 3.0V, supporting DDR HyperBus interface up to 200MHz clock (400 MT/s), with 8-bit data bus and Dual-Die-Package (DDP) TFBGA-24封装. It delivers high-bandwidth, low-pin-count memory for microcontroller-based graphics, firmware storage, and real-time buffer applications requiring deterministic latency and power efficiency.
For engineers reviewing the W957A8MFYA5I datasheet, W957A8MFYA5I pinout, W957A8MFYA5I application, or W957A8MFYA5I equivalent, this part enables fast linear/wrapped burst reads and writes with configurable drive strength, hybrid sleep mode, partial array refresh, and dual-die addressing - critical for embedded systems balancing throughput, power, and footprint.
Technical Context
The W957A8MFYA5I implements a DDR HyperBus interface with bidirectional RWDS acting as both read data strobe and write data mask, enabling source-synchronous timing control. Its DDP architecture integrates two 64Mbit dies in one 24-ball package, supporting die-selectable addressing and burst operations crossing die boundaries.
It supports multiple latency modes (initial/fixed/hybrid), configurable burst types (linear/wrapped/hybrid), and dual VCC/VCCQ supplies (3.0V/3.0V). Power management includes Hybrid Sleep Mode (HSM) and Deep Power Down (DPD), with partial array refresh reducing current during idle periods without full array refresh overhead.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 128Mb (16MB) total capacity across two 64Mbit dies in DDP configuration |
| Interface | HyperBus DDR: 8-bit DQ + CK/CK# or single-ended CK, CS#, RESET#, RWDS |
| Max Clock Rate | 200MHz - enables 400 MT/s sustained throughput in linear burst mode |
| Supply Voltage | VCC = VCCQ = 3.0V ±0.3V - compatible with 3.3V I/O domains and low-noise 3.0V rails |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C case temperature - qualified for industrial-grade embedded operation |
| Burst Config | Wrapped (16/32/64/128-byte), linear, or hybrid burst - supports cache-line fill and streaming transfers |
| Power Modes | Hybrid Sleep Mode (HSM) and Deep Power Down (DPD) - reduce ICC to ≤10µA in DPD |
Pinout & Package
W957A8MFYA5I uses a 24-ball Thin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (TFBGA) package, 5×5 mm footprint with 0.5 mm pitch, Dual-Die-Package (DDP) construction. The ball map defines dedicated signal roles with RFU (Reserved for Future Use) positions isolated from routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS# | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable for all HyperBus transactions; defines transaction boundaries |
| CK / CK# | Differential Clock Input | DDR timing reference; supports single-ended CK-only mode for simplified layout |
| DQ[7:0] | Bi-directional Data Bus | Transfers command/address/data in DDR fashion; 8-bit width reduces PCB trace count vs parallel NOR/SDRAM |
| RWDS | Read/Write Data Strobe | Bidirectional: output indicates initial latency during CA phase; edge-aligned read strobe; input acts as byte mask during writes |
| RESET# | Hardware Reset Input | Asynchronous reset with internal pull-up; places DQ/RWDS in Hi-Z and returns device to Standby state |
| VCC / VCCQ | Power Supplies | VCC powers core logic and input buffers; VCCQ powers DQ/RWDS output drivers - allows separate noise isolation |
| VSS / VSSQ | Ground Returns | Separate analog/digital ground planes recommended to minimize switching noise coupling into data paths |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| HyperBus DDR Interface | Reduces pin count to 12 active signals (vs ≥40 for SDRAM), enabling compact MCU designs with high bandwidth |
| Dual-Die-Package (DDP) | Integrates two 64Mbit dies in one TFBGA-24; supports die-selectable addressing and seamless die-crossing bursts |
| Configurable Burst Types | Wrapped burst optimizes cache-line fetches; linear burst sustains 400 MB/s for graphics/video buffers |
| Hybrid Sleep Mode (HSM) | Reduces dynamic power during idle while retaining row activation state - faster wake than full DPD recovery |
| Partial Array Refresh | Lowers refresh current by refreshing only active sub-arrays - extends battery life in portable applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar HyperRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| W957D8MFYA5I | 1.8V VCC/VCCQ supply; identical pinout, timing, and DDP structure | Targets 1.8V SoC platforms (e.g., NXP i.MX RT10xx); lower voltage margin may limit noise immunity | Select when host MCU operates at 1.8V and requires matching I/O voltage domain |
| IS66WV1288GBLL-15BLI | Parallel async SRAM (128Mb, 8-bit), 15ns access, 3.3V, SOIC-44 - no DDR or HyperBus | Requires 28+ address/data/control lines; higher pin count, no burst or power modes | Choose only if legacy design lacks HyperBus support and board space/layout permits larger package |
Compared with W957D8MFYA5I, the W957A8MFYA5I offers higher noise margin and compatibility with 3.0V–3.3V systems, while IS66WV1288GBLL-15BLI provides simpler interface but sacrifices bandwidth, power efficiency, and footprint - making W957A8MFYA5I optimal for new HyperBus-enabled designs prioritizing integration and throughput.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of the W957A8MFYA5I?
The W957A8MFYA5I contains two 64Mbit dies in a Dual-Die-Package (DDP), totaling 128Mb (16MB) of memory. Each die is organized as 8,388,608 words × 16 bits, accessible via HyperBus address space with die-selectable addressing and configurable burst lengths up to 128 bytes.
Does the W957A8MFYA5I support differential clocking?
Yes, the W957A8MFYA5I supports both differential (CK/CK#) and single-ended (CK only) clocking modes. CK# is unused in single-ended mode, and the clock need not be free-running - enabling flexible timing control and reduced EMI in noise-sensitive layouts.
How does RWDS function during read and write operations in the W957A8MFYA5I?
In the W957A8MFYA5I, RWDS serves three roles: (1) output during Command/Address phase to indicate additional refresh latency, (2) edge-aligned read data strobe during read transfers, and (3) input acting as byte-level write mask during write transfers - enabling precise data alignment without extra control lines.
What power-saving modes are available on the W957A8MFYA5I?
The W957A8MFYA5I supports Hybrid Sleep Mode (HSM), which retains row activation state for fast wake-up, and Deep Power Down (DPD), reducing ICC to ≤10µA. Both modes are entered via HyperBus register writes and support automatic exit on CS# assertion or clock restart.
Is the W957A8MFYA5I pin-compatible with other HyperRAM devices in Winbond's portfolio?
Yes, the W957A8MFYA5I shares identical 24-ball TFBGA pinout and HyperBus interface definition with W957D8MFYA5I and W957A8MFYA6I, differing only in VCC/VCCQ voltage (3.0V vs 1.8V) and max clock rating (200MHz vs 166MHz), enabling drop-in substitution within same voltage domain.
