Product details
Overview
W971GG8NB-18I TR from Winbond is a 1G-bit DDR2 SDRAM organized as 16M × 8 banks × 8 bits, supporting DDR2-1066 (6-6-6) operation at 533 MHz clock frequency with CAS Latency 3–7, 1.8 V ±0.1 V supply, and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +95°C). It serves as main memory in embedded networking and industrial control systems requiring reliable high-bandwidth data buffering.
For engineers reviewing the W971GG8NB-18I TR datasheet, W971GG8NB-18I TR pinout, W971GG8NB-18I TR application, or W971GG8NB-18I TR equivalent, this page delivers verified DDR2 timing parameters, ball-level I/O mapping, OCD/ODT configuration details, and JEDEC-compliant thermal and electrical specifications for system-level signal integrity and power design.
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 strobing. It supports programmable additive latency (AL = 0–2), burst lengths of 4 or 8, and bi-directional DQS/DQS differential strobes edge-aligned on reads and center-aligned on writes.
Functional operation includes auto-precharge, self-refresh, precharged/active power-down modes, and on-die termination (ODT) controlled via dedicated ODT pin and EMR(1) settings. Off-chip driver (OCD) impedance calibration is supported through extended mode register commands with A9/A8/A7 address sequencing.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by W971GG8NB-18I TR?
W971GG8NB-18I TR supports DDR2-1066 operation with a 533 MHz clock frequency (tCK = 1.875 ns minimum at CL=6). This speed grade is validated across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +95°C) and complies with JEDEC DDR2 specification 6-6-6 timing parameters including tRCD, tRP, and tRC.
Does W971GG8NB-18I TR support on-die termination (ODT)?
Yes, W971GG8NB-18I TR supports on-die termination via the dedicated ODT pin and EMR(1) configuration. When ODT is asserted HIGH, internal termination resistors (75 Ω or 150 Ω) are enabled on DQ/DQS lines - eliminating need for external termination and improving signal integrity in point-to-point topologies.
How is OCD calibration performed on W971GG8NB-18I TR?
OCD calibration on W971GG8NB-18I TR is executed via a defined EMR(1) command sequence using address pins A9/A8/A7. The process adjusts off-chip driver output impedance to match PCB trace characteristics, and must be completed within 200 clock cycles after DLL reset during initialization - as specified in the W971GG8NB-18I TR datasheet section 8.1.
What package type and dimensions does W971GG8NB-18I TR use?
W971GG8NB-18I TR uses a 60-ball Window BGA (WBGA) package measuring 8 mm × 9.5 mm × 1.0 mm. It features lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction with separate VDDQ/VSSQ and VDDL/VSSDL power domains to isolate I/O noise from core logic and DLL circuitry.
Can W971GG8NB-18I TR operate in self-refresh mode at 95°C?
Yes, W971GG8NB-18I TR supports self-refresh mode at up to +95°C with IDD6 ≤ 8 mA. At temperatures above 85°C, the device requires doubled refresh frequency (tREFI = 3.9 µs) enabled via A7=1 in EMR(2), ensuring data retention without host intervention during thermal stress conditions.
