Product details
Overview
W978H6KBVX2I TR from Winbond is a 256Mb LPDDR2-S4B SDRAM organized as 16M x 16, operating at 800 Mbps data rate (LPDDR2-800) with 1.2V core/VDDQ supply and -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade. It supports burst lengths of 4/8, on-die termination, ZQ calibration, and partial array self-refresh for mobile and embedded applications requiring low-power memory.
For engineers reviewing the W978H6KBVX2I TR datasheet, W978H6KBVX2I TR pinout, W978H6KBVX2I TR application, or W978H6KBVX2I TR equivalent, key selection criteria include LPDDR2-800 timing compliance (tRCD = 3, tRP = 3), HSUL_12 I/O interface, 96-ball VFBGA package, and MR10-based DQ calibration support.
Technical Context
This LPDDR2 SDRAM implements dual-channel 16-bit wide I/O architecture with differential CK/CK# and DQS/DQS# strobes, supporting both single-ended CA signals and HSUL_12 output drivers. It uses mode registers MR0–MR63 for configuration including burst type, read/write latency (RL=3/5, WL=1), PASR bank masking, and temperature-sensing calibration.
Power management includes deep power-down, auto-precharge, and controlled power-up initialization sequences compliant with JEDEC JESD209-2A. The device integrates on-die termination (ODT) with programmable RZQ values and supports seamless burst transitions with tCCD = 2 cycles.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT42L256M16RE-125:E | Same 256Mb x16 LPDDR2-1066, but rated for -30°C to +85°C; higher speed grade (tCK = 1.875 ns) | Requires tighter timing margins; not drop-in for LPDDR2-800 designs using tRCD = 3 | Select when bandwidth >1.7 GB/s is required and controller supports RL=5/WL=2 |
| IS42S16160J-6BLI | Legacy LPDDR1 (not LPDDR2); 256Mb x16, 400 Mbps, 1.8V VDDQ; no ZQ/PASR/temperature sensor | Not JEDEC JESD209-2A compliant; incompatible command set and timing model | Only for legacy redesigns where LPDDR2 features are unused and voltage tolerance allows 1.8V interface |

FAQ
What is the ball count and package type of W978H6KBVX2I TR?
W978H6KBVX2I TR uses a 96-ball Very Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA) package with 0.5 mm ball pitch, measuring 9.0 mm × 12.0 mm × 1.0 mm. This compact footprint supports high-density PCB layouts typical in mobile and portable electronics where board space is constrained.
Does W978H6KBVX2I TR support ZQ calibration, and how is it initiated?
Yes, W978H6KBVX2I TR supports ZQ calibration per JEDEC JESD209-2A. Calibration is triggered by writing to Mode Register MR23 (MA[7:0] = 17H) using the MRW command. The device performs internal resistor adjustment to calibrate RONPU and RONPD output driver strengths against the external ZQ reference resistor.
What is the maximum supported burst length for W978H6KBVX2I TR, and how is it configured?
W978H6KBVX2I TR supports burst lengths of 4 and 8, selected via MR1 (MA[7:0] = 01H) bit [2:1] (Burst Length field). BL=4 is default; BL=8 requires MR1[2:1]=10b. Both modes operate with fixed burst type (sequential) and support seamless transitions with tCCD = 2 cycles.
Can W978H6KBVX2I TR operate in deep power-down mode, and what is its typical current draw?
Yes, W978H6KBVX2I TR supports deep power-down mode (IDD7), entered via EMRS command with MRS[12] = 1. Typical IDD7 is ≤10 µA at +25°C, enabling ultra-low standby power in battery-powered devices. Exit requires CKE high and tDPD ≥ 100 ns before valid commands.
Is W978H6KBVX2I TR compatible with LPDDR2-1066 controllers?
No, W978H6KBVX2I TR is specified for LPDDR2-800 operation (tCK = 2.5 ns min, 800 Mbps). While some timing parameters overlap, its tRCD/tRP = 3 cycles and RL/WL settings are optimized for 800 Mbps. Using it with a 1066 Mbps controller risks timing violations unless the controller supports down-binned LPDDR2-800 mode.
