Product details
Overview
W971GG8NB-25 TR from Winbond 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 ± 0.1 V supply, CAS latency configurable from 3 to 7, and SSTL_18 interface - deployed in embedded networking controllers and industrial HMIs requiring reliable synchronous DRAM buffering.
For engineers reviewing the W971GG8NB-25 TR datasheet, W971GG8NB-25 TR pinout, W971GG8NB-25 TR application, or W971GG8NB-25 TR equivalent, this page delivers verified DDR2 timing parameters, ball-level I/O mapping, OCD/ODT configuration support, and JEDEC-compliant thermal grade validation for -40°C to +85°C operation.
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 auto-precharge on read/write commands.
Functional control includes extended mode registers (EMR1–EMR3) for DLL enable/disable, OCD impedance calibration, ODT activation, and RDQS/DQS differential strobe selection. Power management features include precharged and active power-down modes, self-refresh (IDD6 ≤ 8 mA), and temperature-compensated refresh intervals down to 3.9 µS at 95–105°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 G-bit (16,777,216 words × 8 banks × 8 bits) |
| Data Rate | DDR2-800: up to 800 Mbps per pin (tCK min = 2.5 ns @ CL=5) |
| CAS Latency | Programmable CL = 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 - directly impacts read access timing and system timing margin |
| Burst Length | Configurable BL = 4 or 8 - determines consecutive data transfers per command |
| Supply Voltage | VDD/VDDQ = 1.8 V ± 0.1 V - requires tight regulation; VREF must track VDDQ/2 ± 300 mV |
| Operating Temp | 0°C ≤ TCASE ≤ 85°C (commercial grade); supports full JEDEC AC/DC specs across range |
| Interface Standard | SSTL_18 - mandates compatible driver/receiver termination and voltage referencing |
| Refresh Interval | tREFI = 7.8 µS (≤ 85°C); halves to 3.9 µS above 85°C - requires controller-initiated refresh scheduling |
Pinout & Package
Packaged in 60-ball Window BGA (8 mm × 9.5 mm, 1.0 mm height), RoHS-compliant, lead-free. Ball pitch: 0.8 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A13 | Address Input | Row address (A0–A13); column address (A0–A9); A10 controls auto-precharge |
| BA0–BA2 | Bank Select | Selects one of eight internal banks for ACTIVE/READ/WRITE/PRECHARGE commands |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel I/O path; requires matched trace length and controlled impedance routing |
| DQS / DQS | Differential Data Strobe | Source-synchronous strobe; edge-aligned on reads, center-aligned on writes; enabled via EMR(1)[A10]=0 |
| CLK / CLK | Differential Clock Input | Defines all timing; inputs latched at crossing of CLK rising and CLK falling edges |
| CS, RAS, CAS, WE | Command Inputs | Encoded command bus; CS enables rank selection; all sampled on CLK edge |
| ODT | On-Die Termination Control | Active-HIGH signal enabling internal termination resistors (RTT = 75 Ω or 150 Ω) during reads/writes |
| DM/RDQS | Data Mask or Read Strobe | DM masks write data on both DQS edges; RDQS function enabled only when EMR(1)[A11]=1 |
| CKE | Clock Enable | Gates internal clocking; LOW disables DLL and enters power-down; HIGH resumes operation |
| VREF | Input Reference Voltage | Reference for all address/control inputs; must be stable at VDDQ/2 ± 300 mV |
| VDD / VDDQ / VDDL | Power Supplies | VDD (core), VDDQ (I/O), VDDL (DLL) each require independent 1.8 V ± 0.1 V regulation and local decoupling |
| VSS / VSSQ / VSSDL | Ground Planes | Separate ground domains for core (VSS), I/O (VSSQ), and DLL (VSSDL) minimize noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Off-Chip Driver (OCD) Calibration | Enables precise output impedance tuning (±10%) via EMR(1), reducing signal reflections on high-speed traces |
| On-Die Termination (ODT) | Configurable RTT values (75 Ω or 150 Ω) activated per-command - eliminates external termination resistors and saves PCB area |
| Posted CAS with Additive Latency | AL = 0–2 allows pipelining of column commands before row activation completes, improving bus utilization in burst-heavy workloads |
| Differential DQS Strobes | DQS/DQS pair provides noise-immune, source-synchronous timing for both read (edge-aligned) and write (center-aligned) operations |
| Temperature-Adaptive Refresh | Automatic tREFI halving (7.8 µS → 3.9 µS) above 85°C ensures data retention without firmware intervention |
| Precharged Power-Down Mode | Reduces IDD1 current by >50% (to ~25 mA typical) while preserving bank state - ideal for low-duty-cycle HMI frame buffers |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DDR2 SDRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT47H128M8CF-25:E | 128M × 8 organization (1 G-bit), same DDR2-800 speed grade, but uses 60-ball FBGA (8×10.5 mm) with different ball map | Requires PCB redesign due to non-identical pinout and larger footprint; supports deeper temperature range (-40°C to +95°C industrial) | Choose if industrial temp rating and Micron's long-term supply commitment outweigh layout change cost |
| IS43TR16128B-25BLI | 128M × 16 organization (2 G-bit), DDR2-800, 84-ball BGA; wider data bus but incompatible width and pin assignment | Not drop-in; requires bus-width adaptation in controller; higher density suits memory-constrained designs needing >1 G-bit | Consider only when migrating to 16-bit interface and requiring higher capacity - not a functional replacement |
Compared with MT47H128M8CF-25:E and IS43TR16128B-25BLI, the W971GG8NB-25 TR offers identical density and speed in a compact 8×9.5 mm WBGA package with validated OCD/ODT implementation, making it optimal for space-constrained commercial-grade embedded systems where pin compatibility and proven layout reuse are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported CAS latency for W971GG8NB-25 TR?
The W971GG8NB-25 TR supports programmable CAS latency values of 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. At DDR2-800 speed (tCK = 2.5 ns minimum), CL=5 is the default JEDEC setting; CL=7 is valid for relaxed timing margins in thermally stressed environments. All CL settings are validated across the full 0°C to 85°C operating range and require corresponding mode register programming via MRS command.
Does W971GG8NB-25 TR support differential DQS operation?
Yes, W971GG8NB-25 TR supports differential DQS/DQS strobes when enabled via Extended Mode Register 1 (EMR1) bit A10 = 0. In this mode, DQS (ball H8/H3) and DQS (ball J2/J8) operate as a true differential pair, providing improved jitter tolerance and signal integrity for write capture and read capture. The single-ended DQS mode remains available when EMR1[A10] = 1.
How is On-Die Termination (ODT) configured on W971GG8NB-25 TR?
ODT on W971GG8NB-25 TR is controlled by the ODT pin (ball F9) and configured via EMR1. When ODT = HIGH, internal termination resistors (RTT = 75 Ω or 150 Ω) are enabled on DQ/DQS lines during read or write operations. The specific RTT value is set in EMR1 bits A1–A0. ODT activation is command-specific and automatically disabled during idle cycles to minimize power consumption.
What is the purpose of the DM/RDQS pin (ball B3) on W971GG8NB-25 TR?
The DM/RDQS pin on W971GG8NB-25 TR serves dual functions: as DM (Data Mask) during write operations - masking individual byte lanes when sampled HIGH on both DQS edges - or as RDQS (Read Data Strobe) when enabled via EMR1[A11] = 1. When RDQS is active, it provides an additional strobe for read data capture, improving timing margin in high-noise environments. Enabling RDQS disables DM functionality.
Can W971GG8NB-25 TR operate in self-refresh mode at 85°C?
Yes, W971GG8NB-25 TR supports self-refresh mode across its full rated temperature range of 0°C to 85°C, with maximum IDD6 current ≤ 8 mA. At temperatures above 85°C, self-refresh remains functional but requires doubled refresh rate (tREFI = 3.9 µS), which must be enabled via EMR2[A7] = 1 - a feature reserved for industrial-grade variants (e.g., W971GG8NB-25I) and not guaranteed for the -25 commercial grade.
