Product details
Overview
W972GG6KB-25 TR from Winbond is a 2Gb (128M × 16) DDR2 SDRAM organized as 16M words × 8 banks × 16 bits, compliant with JEDEC DDR2-800 (5-5-5 or 6-6-6) timing, operating at 1.8 V ±0.1 V supply, and supporting CAS Latency 3–7, burst lengths 4/8, and on-die termination (ODT) for high-speed memory subsystems in embedded networking and industrial control applications.
For engineers reviewing the W972GG6KB-25 TR datasheet, W972GG6KB-25 TR pinout, W972GG6KB-25 TR application, or W972GG6KB-25 TR equivalent, key selection criteria include DDR2-800 speed grade compliance, WBGA-84 ball package compatibility, SSTL_18 interface voltage tolerance, OCD impedance calibration support, and industrial temperature option (-25I) availability.
Technical Context
This DDR2 SDRAM implements double-data-rate architecture synchronized to differential CLK/CLK inputs, with DLL-aligned DQ/DQS timing, posted CAS (AL = 0–2), and write latency WL = RL − 1. It supports source-synchronous read/write via edge-aligned (read) and center-aligned (write) bi-directional DQS strobes for upper (UDQS) and lower (LDQS) data bytes.
Functional operation includes auto-precharge, self-refresh, precharged/active power-down modes, ODT programmable per-bank, and OCD impedance adjustment via EMR(1). Initialization requires strict sequence: stable power → 200 µs clock → CKE high → PRE ALL → EMRS(2)/EMRS(3)/DLL enable → MRS → OCD calibration.
Key Specifications

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-Die Termination (ODT) | Programmable per-bank termination resistance eliminates external resistors, reduces signal reflections, and simplifies layout for point-to-point DDR2 channels. |
| Off-Chip Driver (OCD) Calibration | Dynamic impedance tuning of DQ output drivers via EMR(1) improves signal integrity and margin under varying voltage/temperature conditions. |
| Posted CAS with Additive Latency | AL = 0–2 decouples command bus occupancy from data return timing, increasing command bus efficiency in burst-heavy workloads. |
| Auto-Precharge | Automatic bank precharge triggered by burst end reduces controller overhead and enables seamless back-to-back accesses across banks. |
| Self-Refresh Mode | Low-current (≤10 mA) retention mode with internal refresh counter - maintains data during CPU sleep or system suspend without external refresh commands. |
| Differential DQS Strobes | Separate UDQS/LDQS pairs for upper/lower byte lanes support independent timing alignment and reduce inter-byte skew in 16-bit interfaces. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DDR2 SDRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT47H128M16HR-25E | Same density (2Gb), same DDR2-800 speed grade, but uses TSOP-84 package with different pinout and no OCD calibration. | Limited to lower-vibration environments due to TSOP mechanical robustness; lacks dynamic impedance tuning for marginal layouts. | Choose when board space permits TSOP and signal integrity margins are sufficient without OCD. |
| IS42S16160F-6BLI | 2Gb DDR2-667 (CL=5, tCK=3 ns), industrial temp (-40°C to 85°C), same WBGA-84 package and pin-compatible ball map. | Lower bandwidth (667 MT/s) and reduced timing margin; suitable where cost is prioritized over peak performance. | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial designs where DDR2-667 timing meets system throughput requirements. |
Compared with W972GG6KB-25 TR, MT47H128M16HR-25E trades package flexibility and OCD for legacy TSOP compatibility, while IS42S16160F-6BLI offers identical packaging and industrial rating at reduced speed-enabling drop-in replacement only if timing budgets allow 133 MT/s lower data rate.

FAQ
What DDR2 speed grade does W972GG6KB-25 TR support?
W972GG6KB-25 TR supports DDR2-800 operation at 400 MHz clock frequency with data transfer rates up to 800 MT/s. It complies with JEDEC timing specifications for both 5-5-5 and 6-6-6 configurations, and supports CAS Latency values of 3 through 7. The "-25" suffix explicitly denotes this DDR2-800 speed grade, validated across 0°C to 85°C case temperature range.
Is W972GG6KB-25 TR pin-compatible with other DDR2 SDRAMs in WBGA-84 package?
W972GG6KB-25 TR follows standard DDR2 ballout conventions for 16-bit x8-bank devices in WBGA-84, matching JEDEC-defined signal placement for CLK/CLK, DQS/DQS, DQ, address, and command pins. However, exact pin compatibility with other vendors' parts (e.g., Micron or ISSI) requires verification against their specific ball maps, as minor variations in NC, VSSQ, or test pin assignments may exist. Always cross-check ball descriptions before substitution.
Does W972GG6KB-25 TR support industrial temperature range?
W972GG6KB-25 TR is rated for 0°C ≤ TCASE ≤ 85°C. For industrial operation from -40°C to 95°C, the W972GG6KB-25I variant must be selected. The -25I part shares identical electrical specs and pinout but adds extended temperature validation, including doubled refresh rate (tREFI = 3.9 µS) and self-refresh enablement at high temperature via EMR(2) bit A7.
How is On-Die Termination (ODT) controlled on W972GG6KB-25 TR?
ODT on W972GG6KB-25 TR is controlled by the dedicated ODT input pin (Ball K9), which enables internal termination resistors on DQ and DQS lines when driven HIGH. Termination strength is configured via Extended Mode Register EMR(1), and ODT status can be independently set per bank. This eliminates need for external termination resistors and improves signal integrity in point-to-point DDR2 topologies.
What is the purpose of OCD calibration in W972GG6KB-25 TR?
OCD (Off-Chip Driver) calibration in W972GG6KB-25 TR dynamically adjusts the output impedance of DQ drivers to match transmission line characteristics, compensating for voltage and temperature drift. Executed during initialization via EMR(1) commands, it ensures consistent signal rise/fall times and reduces overshoot/undershoot-critical for maintaining timing margins in high-speed DDR2 interfaces.
