Product details
Overview
W971GG8KB25I TR from Winbond Electronics is a 1G-bit DDR2 SDRAM organized as 16M × 8 banks × 8 bits, operating at DDR2-800 speed (5-5-5 or 6-6-6 timing), with 1.8 V supply, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +95°C), and WBGA-60 package. It serves as main system memory in embedded controllers, network processors, and industrial HMIs requiring reliable high-bandwidth data buffering.
For engineers reviewing the W971GG8KB25I TR datasheet, W971GG8KB25I TR pinout, W971GG8KB25I TR application, or W971GG8KB25I TR equivalent, key selection factors include its industrial-grade thermal rating, OCD/ODT signal integrity features, SSTL_18 interface compliance, and support for programmable CAS latency (CL=3–6) and burst lengths (BL=4/8).
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 I/O referenced to both edges of DQS. It supports posted CAS (AL=0–2), auto-precharge, and on-die termination (ODT) controlled via EMR(1) register bits.
Functional operation relies on bank-select addressing (BA0–BA2), row/column address multiplexing (A0–A13), and command decoding via RAS/CAS/WE/CS. The device includes dedicated VDDL/VSSDL for DLL power isolation and VREF tracking at VDDQ/2 to maintain input threshold stability across temperature.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-Die Termination (ODT) | Programmable 75 Ω or 150 Ω termination on DQ/DQS lines reduces stub reflections and improves signal integrity without external resistors |
| Off-Chip Driver (OCD) Calibration | Dynamic impedance matching of DQ output drivers to transmission line Z₀ minimizes overshoot/undershoot during high-speed bursts |
| Posted CAS with Additive Latency | AL=0–2 allows pipelining of column commands ahead of row activation, increasing command bus utilization by up to 20% in burst-heavy workloads |

| Industrial Temperature Range | Guaranteed functionality from –40°C to +95°C case temperature supports deployment in harsh environments without derating |
| Auto-Precharge & Burst Interrupt | Hardware auto-precharge eliminates manual PRECHARGE issuance after burst; burst interrupt enables mid-burst command preemption for real-time response |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DDR2 SDRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT47H128M8HQ-25E IT:C | Micron 1 G-bit DDR2-800 in FBGA-60; identical CL/tRCD/tRP timing (5-5-5); VDDQ tolerance ±0.09 V vs. Winbond's ±0.1 V | Same industrial temp range (–40°C to +95°C); supports same OCD/ODT modes but requires different EMR initialization sequence | Select if existing design uses Micron reference layouts or requires direct qualification under JEDEC JESD21-C test plan |
| IS42S16160F-25BLI | ISSI 1 G-bit DDR2-800 in FBGA-60; CL=5–6 supported; tRC = 57.5 ns (vs. Winbond's 57.5 ns); IDD0 max = 72 mA (vs. 70 mA) | Industrial temp rated; lacks RDQS function and has no A10/AP pin - auto-precharge only via command, not address bit | Choose when RDQS differential strobe is unused and layout reuse favors ISSI's ballout symmetry for routing simplicity |
Compared with MT47H128M8HQ-25E IT:C and IS42S16160F-25BLI, W971GG8KB25I TR offers unique A10/AP pin-based auto-precharge control and explicit RDQS enablement, simplifying FPGA-based controller logic while maintaining identical DDR2-800 timing and industrial thermal performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by W971GG8KB25I TR?
W971GG8KB25I TR supports DDR2-800 operation with a minimum clock period (tCK) of 2.5 ns, corresponding to a 400 MHz differential clock frequency. This is validated for CL=5 and CL=6 operation across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +95°C), as specified in the -25I speed grade bin.
Does W971GG8KB25I TR support differential DQS operation?
Yes, W971GG8KB25I TR supports differential DQS/DQS operation when enabled via Extended Mode Register 1 (EMR(1)) bit A10 = 0. In this mode, balls B7 and A8 function as DQS and DQS, respectively, providing edge-aligned read strobes and center-aligned write strobes per JEDEC DDR2 specification.
How is auto-precharge configured on W971GG8KB25I TR?
W971GG8KB25I TR supports two auto-precharge methods: (1) Command-based - using Burst Read/Write with Auto-precharge instructions, and (2) Address-based - setting A10 = HIGH during READ/WRITE commands to trigger automatic bank precharge. Both are fully functional and documented in the device's command truth table.
What power supply domains does W971GG8KB25I TR require?
W971GG8KB25I TR requires three independent 1.8 V ± 0.1 V supplies: VDD (core logic), VDDQ (I/O drivers), and VDDL (DLL circuitry), plus dedicated grounds VSS (core), VSSQ (I/O), and VSSDL (DLL). VREF must be supplied at VDDQ/2 ± 300 mV and remain stable during voltage ramp-up.
Is W971GG8KB25I TR pin-compatible with other Winbond DDR2 SDRAMs in WBGA-60?
W971GG8KB25I TR shares the same WBGA-60 (8×12.5 mm) package and ballout as other members of the W971GG8KB family (e.g., -18, -25, -3 variants), including identical pin functions and placement. However, speed-grade-specific timing parameters and initialization sequences differ, requiring firmware validation per grade.
