Product details
Overview
W971GG6NB-18I from Winbond is a 1G-bit DDR2 SDRAM organized as 8M × 8 banks × 16 bits, supporting DDR2-1066 (6-6-6) operation at 533 MHz clock frequency with CAS Latency 6, tRCD/tRP = 11.25 ns, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +95°C). It delivers 1066 Mbps data transfer rate and integrates on-die termination (ODT), off-chip driver (OCD) impedance adjustment, and DLL-aligned DQS/DQ timing for high-signal-integrity memory subsystems in embedded networking and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the W971GG6NB-18I datasheet, W971GG6NB-18I pinout, W971GG6NB-18I application, or W971GG6NB-18I equivalent, this page provides verified DDR2 timing parameters, VFBGA-84 ball mapping, JEDEC-compliant power-down modes, OCD calibration sequence, and direct alternatives for DDR2-1066 industrial-grade SDRAM replacement.
Technical Context
This DDR2 SDRAM uses differential CLK/CLK inputs synchronized with SSTL_18 I/O interface, supports posted CAS with additive latency (AL = 0–2), and implements source-synchronous read/write via edge-aligned LDQS/UDQS (read) and center-aligned LDQS/UDQS (write). Its DLL aligns DQ transitions to clock edges, enabling stable 533 MHz operation.
The device features four independent banks, auto-precharge for burst reads/writes, programmable ODT resistance (75 Ω / 150 Ω), and OCD calibration for output driver impedance matching. It supports self-refresh at ≤85°C (IDD6 ≤ 8 mA) and extended refresh at 95°C (tREFI = 3.9 µS) via EMR(2) configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 G-bit (8,388,608 words × 8 banks × 16 bits) |
| Data Rate | 1066 Mbps (DDR2-1066, 533 MHz clock, CL=6) |
| Operating Voltage | VDD/VDDQ/VDDL = 1.8 V ± 0.1 V - requires tight regulation for SSTL_18 compliance |
| Timing (CL-tRCD-tRP) | 6-6-6 @ 533 MHz - defines minimum tRCD/tRP = 11.25 ns for reliable bank activation |
| Temperature Range | –40°C ≤ TCASE ≤ 95°C - qualified for industrial environments without derating |
| Refresh Interval | tREFI = 3.9 µS at 95°C - doubles refresh rate vs. standard 7.8 µS to maintain data retention |
| Package | VFBGA-84 (8 mm × 12.5 mm, 1.0 mm height) - RoHS-compliant, lead-free window BGA |
Pinout & Package
VFBGA-84 package (8 × 12.5 mm², 1.0 mm thickness) with ball pitch of 0.8 mm. Ball layout follows JEDEC MO-245AC standard; VSSQ and VDDQ are distributed across perimeter for DQ noise isolation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Input | Row/column address bus; A10 controls auto-precharge enable during read/write commands |

| DQ0–DQ15 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 16-bit wide data path; supports burst lengths of 4 or 8 with write mask (UDM/LDM) |
| LDQS / LDQS, UDQS / UDQS | Differential Data Strobe | Source-synchronous strobes: edge-aligned on read, center-aligned on write; enabled via EMR(1) |
| CKE, CS, RAS, CAS, WE | Command Control | Synchronous command inputs latched on CLK/CLK crossing; CS enables rank selection |
| ODT | On-Die Termination Enable | Active-HIGH signal enabling internal 75 Ω or 150 Ω termination for stub-free point-to-point routing |
| VREF | Input Reference Voltage | Tracks VDDQ/2 ± 300 mV; critical for SSTL_18 input threshold stability and noise margin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DDR2 SDRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT47H128M16HR-37E:C | DDR2-800 (CL=5, tRCD/tRP=12.5 ns), 256M × 16, same VFBGA-84 package | Limited to 0°C–85°C; lacks extended-temp refresh and OCD calibration | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer designs where 800 Mbps suffices and industrial temp not required. |
| IS42S16160F-6BLI | DDR2-1066 (CL=6), 64M × 16, TFBGA-60 package (smaller footprint, fewer balls) | Lower density (1 G-bit → 1 G-bit same, but 64M×16 = 1 G-bit); no EMR(3) support | Choose when board space is constrained and full DDR2-1066 timing compliance with OCD/ODT is retained. |
Compared with MT47H128M16HR-37E:C and IS42S16160F-6BLI, W971GG6NB-18I uniquely combines industrial temperature support, OCD calibration, and EMR(3)-enabled features - making it the only option for long-life, high-reliability DDR2-1066 systems requiring field-programmable impedance tuning and extended-temperature data retention.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by W971GG6NB-18I?
W971GG6NB-18I supports DDR2-1066 operation at 533 MHz clock frequency, delivering 1066 Mbps per data line. This is validated under industrial temperature conditions (–40°C to +95°C) with CL=6, tRCD/tRP=11.25 ns, and VDD/VDDQ=1.8 V ± 0.1 V. The device meets all JEDEC JESD79-2F AC/DC specifications for DDR2-1066 at this speed grade.
Does W971GG6NB-18I require external termination resistors?
No - W971GG6NB-18I integrates programmable on-die termination (ODT) with selectable 75 Ω or 150 Ω resistance values controlled via the ODT pin and EMR(1). When ODT is asserted HIGH, internal termination eliminates need for external parallel resistors, simplifying PCB layout and improving signal integrity in point-to-point DDR2 interfaces.
How is OCD calibration performed for W971GG6NB-18I?
OCD calibration for W971GG6NB-18I is executed after power-up initialization: first issue EMRS to EMR(1) with A9=A8=A7=HIGH to enter calibration mode, then apply known pattern while monitoring DQ output, and finally issue EMRS to EMR(1) with A9=A8=A7=LOW to lock calibrated impedance. This sequence must occur ≥200 clocks after DLL reset and is documented in Section 8.2.3 of the datasheet.
What is the purpose of the VSSDL and VDDL pins on W971GG6NB-18I?
VSSDL and VDDL provide dedicated ground and power supply for the internal delay-locked loop (DLL) circuitry in W971GG6NB-18I. Isolating DLL power/ground from core VDD/VSS reduces switching noise coupling into the clock alignment circuit, ensuring stable DQS–DQ phase alignment at 533 MHz - critical for maintaining setup/hold margins in high-speed DDR2 interfaces.
Can W971GG6NB-18I operate at 85°C case temperature without refresh rate adjustment?
Yes - W971GG6NB-18I maintains full JEDEC compliance at TCASE ≤ 85°C with standard tREFI = 7.8 µS. Only above 85°C (up to 95°C) does it require doubled refresh frequency (tREFI = 3.9 µS), activated automatically via EMR(2) configuration with A7=1. No hardware changes or firmware intervention are needed for thermal adaptation within its rated range.
