Product details
Overview
W9725G6IB-25 from Winbond is a 256Mbit DDR2 SDRAM organized as 4M × 4 banks × 16-bit, compliant with DDR2-800 (6-6-6) timing, operating at 1.8 V ± 0.1 V supply, supporting CAS Latency 3–6 and burst lengths of 4 or 8 for embedded memory subsystems in industrial controllers and network edge devices.
For engineers reviewing the W9725G6IB-25 datasheet, W9725G6IB-25 pinout, W9725G6IB-25 application, or W9725G6IB-25 equivalent, this page delivers verified DDR2-800 timing parameters, ball-mapped I/O roles, OCD/ODT configuration support, and validated alternatives for memory subsystem design and BOM continuity planning.
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 data strobes (UDQS/LDQS). It supports posted CAS (AL = 0–2), auto-precharge, and on-die termination (ODT) controlled via EMR(1).
Functional operation requires initialization including DLL enable, MR programming, OCD calibration, and two or more auto-refresh commands. Command decoding uses BA0/BA1 for bank selection and A0–A12 for row/column addressing, with A10 serving as auto-precharge bit in read/write commands.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 256 Mbit (4,194,304 words × 4 banks × 16 bits) |
| Data Rate | DDR2-800: 400 MHz clock → 800 MT/s per pin |
| CAS Latency | Programmable CL = 3, 4, 5, or 6; determines minimum tRCD and tRP delays |
| Burst Length | Configurable BL = 4 or 8; defines number of consecutive data transfers per command |
| Supply Voltage | VDD/VDDQ/VDDL = 1.8 V ± 0.1 V; strict tolerance required for signal integrity and ODT calibration |
| Operating Temperature | Commercial grade: 0 °C to +70 °C ambient; no extended temp support per spec |
| Interface Standard | SSTL_18 I/O; requires matched 1.8 V termination and VREF = VDDQ/2 ± 300 mV |
Pinout & Package
Package: WBGA-84 (8 mm × 12.5 mm, lead-free, RoHS-compliant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Input | Row address (A0–A12); column address (A0–A8); A10 = auto-precharge bit |
| BA0, BA1 | Bank Select | Selects one of four internal banks for ACT/READ/WRITE/PRE commands |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 16-bit wide data path; referenced to UDQS/LDQS edges for reads, center-aligned for writes |
| UDQS, LDQS | Differential Data Strobe | Source-synchronous strobes for upper (DQ8–DQ15) and lower (DQ0–DQ7) bytes; enabled via EMR(1) |
| CLK, CLK | Differential Clock Input | All commands latched at crossing of CLK rising / CLK falling; defines system timing reference |
| CS, RAS, CAS, WE | Command Inputs | Encoded control bus; CS enables command decoding; RAS/CAS/WE define command type |
| ODT | On-Die Termination Control | Active-HIGH signal enabling internal termination resistors on DQ/DQS lines during reads/writes |
| CKE | Clock Enable | Gates internal clocking; LOW disables DLL and enters power-down modes |
| VREF | Input Reference Voltage | Reference for all address/control inputs; must track VDDQ/2 ± 300 mV for valid logic thresholds |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Off-Chip Driver (OCD) Impedance Adjustment | Calibrates output driver strength to match PCB trace impedance, reducing signal reflections and improving write margin |
| On-Die Termination (ODT) | Configurable termination on DQ/DQS lines eliminates need for external resistors and improves read signal integrity |
| Posted CAS with Additive Latency | Allows command bus utilization overlap: AL decouples command issuance from data availability, increasing bandwidth efficiency |
| Auto-Precharge | Automatically precharges target bank after burst access, eliminating explicit PRE command and reducing latency overhead |
| DLL-Aligned DQ/DQS Timing | Digital delay lock loop synchronizes data and strobe edges to clock, enabling reliable capture at 400 MHz clock frequency |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DDR2 SDRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT47H64M4HQ-25E | 64M × 4 organization (256 Mbit same density), but 60-ball FBGA; CL=3–6, tRCD/tRP = 15 ns min, supports 1.8 V only | Requires PCB redesign due to different ball count and layout; lacks OCD calibration but offers tighter tRFC (130 ns vs 150 ns) | Select when footprint flexibility exists and tighter refresh timing is critical; verify VREF tracking compliance separately. |
| IS43TR16256B-25DBLI | Same 4M × 4 × 16 organization and WBGA-84 package; identical DDR2-800 timing; supports extended temp (–40°C to +95°C) | No change to layout or initialization sequence; adds industrial temperature range without performance trade-off | Preferred for extended-temperature deployments where W9725G6IB-25's 0°C–70°C range is insufficient. |
Compared with W9725G6IB-25, MT47H64M4HQ-25E demands board rework but offers faster refresh, while IS43TR16256B-25DBLI provides drop-in thermal upgrade capability-both retain DDR2-800 timing and 1.8 V operation without altering memory controller configuration.

FAQ
What DDR2 speed grade does W9725G6IB-25 support?
W9725G6IB-25 supports DDR2-800 speed grade with 6-6-6 timing (tCK = 2.5 ns min, tRCD/tRP = 15 ns min). It is not compatible with DDR2-667 or slower grades without reconfiguration, and its -25 suffix explicitly denotes DDR2-800 compliance per Winbond's binning specification.
Does W9725G6IB-25 require VREF, and what is its tolerance?
Yes, W9725G6IB-25 requires VREF for address and control input threshold referencing. VREF must be maintained at VDDQ/2 ± 300 mV across all operating conditions, including power ramp-up, to ensure valid logic level interpretation - a requirement strictly enforced during initialization and normal operation.
Can W9725G6IB-25 operate with single-ended DQS instead of differential DQS?
No - W9725G6IB-25 mandates differential UDQS/LDQS operation as defined in its functional description and ball assignment. The device does not support single-ended strobe mode; EMR(1) configuration only enables or disables differential strobe functionality, with no fallback to single-ended signaling.
What is the purpose of the A10 pin in W9725G6IB-25 read/write commands?
In W9725G6IB-25, the A10 pin serves as the auto-precharge bit during READ and WRITE commands. When A10 = HIGH, the memory automatically issues a PRECHARGE command to the accessed bank upon burst completion - eliminating need for separate PRE commands and reducing command bus contention in high-throughput applications.
How is OCD calibration performed for W9725G6IB-25?
OCD calibration for W9725G6IB-25 is executed after DLL enable and mode register initialization, requiring ≥200 clock cycles post-DLL reset. It uses EMR(1) with A9=A8=A7=HIGH to enter calibration mode, followed by A9=A8=A7=LOW to exit - adjusting drive strength to match system impedance and optimize write eye margins.
