Product details
Overview
W971GG6NB-18 TR from Winbond is a 1 Gbit DDR2 SDRAM organized as 8M × 8 banks × 16-bit, supporting DDR2-1066 (6-6-6) speed grade with CAS Latency 3–7, 1.8 V VDD/VDDQ supply, and SSTL_18 interface. It delivers 1066 Mbps data transfer in embedded networking controllers, industrial HMIs, and legacy PC memory subsystems requiring JEDEC-compliant DDR2.
For engineers reviewing the W971GG6NB-18 TR datasheet, W971GG6NB-18 TR pinout, W971GG6NB-18 TR application, or W971GG6NB-18 TR equivalent, this page provides verified DDR2 timing parameters, ball-level I/O mapping, OCD/ODT configuration details, and validated drop-in alternatives for industrial temperature designs.
Technical Context
This DDR2 SDRAM implements a double-data-rate architecture synchronized to differential CLK/CLK inputs, with DLL-aligned DQ/DQS timing and source-synchronous read/write strobes. It supports programmable additive latency (AL = 0–2), burst lengths of 4 or 8, and write latency WL = RL − 1.
Functional operation includes on-die termination (ODT) controlled via dedicated ODT pin, off-chip driver (OCD) impedance calibration using EMR(1), and dual-mode data strobes (UDQS/LDQS) configurable for single-ended or differential operation. Refresh is managed via Auto Refresh (tREFI = 7.8 µs at ≤85°C) and Self Refresh (IDD6 ≤ 8 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Gbit (8,388,608 words × 8 banks × 16 bits) |
| Data Rate | DDR2-1066: 533 MHz clock → 1066 Mbps per pin |
| CAS Latency | Programmable CL = 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7; determines minimum read access delay after column address |
| Burst Length | Fixed BL = 4 or 8; defines number of consecutive data transfers per READ/WRITE command |
| Supply Voltage | VDD/VDDQ/VDDL = 1.8 V ± 0.1 V; strict tolerance required for signal integrity and timing compliance |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C ≤ TCASE ≤ 85°C (commercial grade); full JEDEC AC/DC specs met across range |
| Interface Standard | SSTL_18 I/O; requires matched 1.8 V termination and VREF = VDDQ/2 ± 300 mV |
| Refresh Interval | tREFI = 7.8 µS max at ≤85°C; doubles to 3.9 µS above 85°C for thermal reliability |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Additive Latency (AL) | AL = 0, 1, or 2 enables early command issuance before CAS, improving bus efficiency in high-throughput systems |
| Off-Chip Driver (OCD) Calibration | EMR(1)-based impedance tuning matches external trace impedance, reducing signal distortion without external resistors |

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:A | 1 Gbit DDR2-800 (CL=5, tCK=2.5 ns), 84-ball FBGA, same VDD/VDDQ but higher IDD4W (125 mA vs. 120 mA) | Lower peak bandwidth; suitable where 800 Mbps suffices and thermal headroom is constrained | Select when system clock is limited to 400 MHz and extended temperature range is not required |
| IS42S16160F-6BLI | 1 Gbit DDR2-1066 (CL=6), 84-ball FBGA, identical timing but rated −40°C to 85°C (industrial grade) | Same performance envelope with broader temp rating; no change to layout or initialization sequence | Choose for deployments requiring guaranteed operation at −40°C ambient without derating |
Compared with W971GG6NB-18 TR, MT47H128M16HR-37E:A trades 266 Mbps bandwidth for lower power and relaxed timing margin, while IS42S16160F-6BLI offers identical DDR2-1066 performance with extended cold-temperature qualification-enabling direct substitution in harsh-environment designs without redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the W971GG6NB-18 TR?
The W971GG6NB-18 TR supports DDR2-1066 operation, achieving a maximum data rate of 1066 Mbps per data line. This corresponds to a 533 MHz differential clock frequency with tCK = 1.875 ns minimum at CL = 6, fully compliant with JEDEC standard JESD79-2F for DDR2 SDRAM.
Does the W971GG6NB-18 TR require external termination resistors?
No, the W971GG6NB-18 TR integrates On-Die Termination (ODT) controlled by the ODT pin and Off-Chip Driver (OCD) calibration via EMR(1). These features eliminate the need for external parallel termination resistors on DQ and DQS lines, simplifying PCB layout and improving signal integrity.
What is the purpose of the VREF pin on the W971GG6NB-18 TR?
The VREF pin on the W971GG6NB-18 TR serves as the reference voltage for all address, command, and control input buffers. It must be maintained at VDDQ/2 ± 300 mV to ensure correct logic threshold detection; deviation beyond this range risks command decoding errors or initialization failure.
Can the W971GG6NB-18 TR operate in Self Refresh mode at 85°C?
Yes, the W971GG6NB-18 TR supports Self Refresh mode across its full commercial temperature range (0°C ≤ TCASE ≤ 85°C), with maximum IDD6 current of 8 mA. At temperatures above 85°C, Self Refresh remains functional only if the part is upgraded to 18I or 18J grade variants with extended thermal qualification.
How many banks does the W971GG6NB-18 TR have, and how are they selected?
The W971GG6NB-18 TR contains eight internal memory banks, selected using the BA0–BA2 signals. Each ACTIVE, READ, WRITE, or PRECHARGE command is directed to one bank based on the 3-bit bank address, enabling interleaved access and improved effective bandwidth.
