Product details
Overview
W972GG6JB-3I TR from Winbond is a 2Gb (128M × 16) DDR2 SDRAM organized as 16M words × 8 banks × 16 bits, rated for DDR2-667 (5-5-5) operation at -40°C to +95°C industrial temperature range, with 1.8 V ±0.1 V core and I/O supply, and integrated On-Die Termination (ODT) and Off-Chip Driver (OCD) impedance control.
For engineers reviewing the W972GG6JB-3I TR datasheet, W972GG6JB-3I TR pinout, W972GG6JB-3I TR application, or W972GG6JB-3I TR equivalent, this device serves as a drop-in-compatible industrial-grade memory component in embedded controllers, network interface cards, and industrial HMIs requiring JEDEC-compliant DDR2 timing, stable high-temperature refresh behavior, and source-synchronous DQS-aligned data transfer.
Technical Context
This DDR2 SDRAM implements a double-data-rate architecture synchronized to differential CLK/CLK inputs, with DLL-aligned DQ/DQS timing, programmable CAS latency (CL = 3–7), additive latency (AL = 0–2), and write latency WL = RL − 1. It supports burst lengths of 4 and 8, posted CAS, auto-precharge, and both self-refresh and auto-refresh modes.
Functional operation relies on three extended mode registers (EMR1–EMR3) for configuring OCD calibration, ODT enable/disable, DLL enable/disable, and differential strobe mode, alongside a standard mode register for CL, BL, burst type, and WR. All commands-including activate, read, write, precharge, and refresh-are decoded synchronously on the rising edge of CLK relative to CLK.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Gb (128M × 16), 16M words × 8 banks × 16 bits - defines usable capacity and bank-level parallelism for interleaved access. |
| Data Rate | DDR2-667 (333 MHz clock, 667 MT/s per pin) - sets maximum sustained bandwidth and system timing budget. |
| CAS Latency | CL = 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 - directly determines minimum read access latency in clock cycles; CL=5 used for DDR2-667 compliance. |
| Supply Voltage | VDD/VDDQ = 1.8 V ± 0.1 V - mandates compatible 1.8 V power delivery and level-shifting for address/control/data buses. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C ≤ TCASE ≤ 95°C - enables deployment in extended-temperature industrial environments without derating. |
| tREFI Refresh Interval | 3.9 µs at 85°C < TCASE ≤ 95°C - requires doubled refresh command frequency versus standard JEDEC spec to maintain data retention. |
| Interface Standard | SSTL_18 - defines input threshold, output drive strength, and termination requirements for signal integrity. |
Pinout & Package
Packaged in 84-ball WBGA (11 mm × 13 mm, 0.8 mm pitch), lead-free and RoHS-compliant, with separate VDD/VSS and VDDQ/VSSQ power/ground domains for noise isolation and signal integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A13 | Address Input | Row/column address bus; A10 controls auto-precharge on read/write commands. |
| BA0–BA2 | Bank Select | Selects one of eight internal banks for concurrent row activation and independent access. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 16-bit wide data path; supports byte masking via LDM/UDM during writes. |
| LDQS / UDQS | Lower/Upper Byte Data Strobe | Differential source-synchronous strobes aligned to DQ0–DQ7 and DQ8–DQ15; edge-aligned on reads, center-aligned on writes. |
| CLK / CLK | Differential Clock Input | Defines all synchronous timing; inputs latched at crossing of CLK rising and CLK falling edges. |
| CKE | Clock Enable | Asynchronous gate controlling internal clock tree activation; LOW disables all operations except self-refresh. |
| CS, RAS, CAS, WE | Command Inputs | Encoded command bus; CS enables rank selection; RAS/CAS/WE define active, read, write, precharge, refresh. |
| ODT | On-Die Termination Control | Active-HIGH signal enabling internal termination resistors on DQ/DQS lines to reduce stub reflections. |
| VREF | Input Reference Voltage | Reference for SSTL_18 input thresholds; must be maintained at VDDQ/2 ± 300 mV for valid logic sampling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-Die Termination (ODT) | Configurable termination resistance on DQ/DQS pins eliminates need for external parallel termination, reducing PCB routing complexity and improving signal integrity at 333 MHz. |
| Off-Chip Driver (OCD) Calibration | Programmable output driver impedance matching via EMR1 allows dynamic tuning to trace impedance, minimizing overshoot/undershoot in high-speed layouts. |
| Differential DQS Strobes | Separate LDQS/UDQS pairs for lower/upper bytes support source-synchronous timing with precise edge- and center-alignment-critical for reliable DDR2-667 timing closure. |
| Industrial Temperature Support | Guaranteed operation from -40°C to +95°C with validated tREFI = 3.9 µs refresh interval ensures data retention in harsh thermal environments without firmware intervention. |
| Auto-Precharge & Burst Modes | Hardware-controlled auto-precharge on burst reads/writes reduces command overhead and enables efficient sequential access across rows within same bank. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DDR2 SDRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT47H128M16HR-3E IT:C | Same density (2Gb), DDR2-667, but uses 96-ball FBGA; CL=5 fixed; no OCD calibration; only supports -40°C to +90°C. | Limited to designs with larger board area and existing Micron DDR2 layout; lacks dynamic driver tuning for marginal traces. | Choose when footprint compatibility with legacy Micron designs exists and OCD is not required. |
| IS42S16160F-3BLI | Same 84-ball WBGA package and industrial temp range; DDR2-667; CL=5; includes ODT but no OCD; tREFI = 7.8 µs max at 95°C (requires external refresh management). | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial systems where external refresh control is acceptable and driver tuning is unnecessary. | Choose when pinout compatibility is critical and simplified register configuration is preferred over OCD flexibility. |
Compared with MT47H128M16HR-3E IT:C and IS42S16160F-3BLI, the W972GG6JB-3I TR uniquely combines 84-ball WBGA compatibility, full OCD calibration, and guaranteed 3.9 µs tREFI at 95°C-enabling robust, layout-efficient DDR2 integration in thermally constrained industrial systems without external timing compensation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature supported by the W972GG6JB-3I TR?
The W972GG6JB-3I TR is fully specified and guaranteed to operate from -40°C to +95°C case temperature. At temperatures above 85°C, it requires doubling the auto-refresh command frequency to maintain tREFI = 3.9 µs, which is enabled via EMR(2) bit A7. This behavior is validated per JEDEC JESD79-2F and documented in the official Winbond datasheet revision A03.
Does the W972GG6JB-3I TR support differential DQS signaling?
Yes, the W972GG6JB-3I TR supports differential DQS signaling via dedicated LDQS/LDQS and UDQS/UDQS ball pairs. This mode is enabled through EMR(1) configuration (A10 = HIGH), and provides edge-aligned read strobes and center-aligned write strobes-essential for achieving timing margin at DDR2-667 speeds. The default single-ended mode remains available if differential routing is not implemented.
How does On-Die Termination (ODT) function on the W972GG6JB-3I TR?
ODT on the W972GG6JB-3I TR is controlled by the ODT pin (Ball K9), which enables internal termination resistors on DQ, DQS, and DM lines when driven HIGH. Termination values are set via EMR(1) bits A1–A0 and are configurable to 75 Ω, 150 Ω, or 50 Ω (depending on VDDQ). This eliminates the need for external parallel termination resistors and improves signal integrity on point-to-point or fly-by DDR2 topologies.
What is the purpose of OCD calibration in the W972GG6JB-3I TR?
OCD (Off-Chip Driver) calibration in the W972GG6JB-3I TR adjusts the output driver impedance of DQ/DQS pins to match PCB trace impedance-typically 50 Ω. It is executed via a dedicated initialization sequence after power-up and uses EMR(1) to store calibrated values. This feature compensates for process/voltage/temperature variation and reduces signal distortion, especially critical in high-density industrial PCBs with tight routing constraints.
Can the W972GG6JB-3I TR be used as a direct replacement for the W972GG6JB-3?
Yes, the W972GG6JB-3I TR is a direct replacement for the commercial-grade W972GG6JB-3 in industrial applications, sharing identical pinout, timing parameters, and electrical specifications-except for extended temperature support (-40°C to +95°C vs. 0°C to +85°C) and mandatory 3.9 µs tREFI at high temperature. No PCB or firmware changes are required beyond verifying refresh controller configuration for elevated temperature operation.
