Overview
W979H2KBVX1I TR from Winbond is a 2Gb (256M x 8) LPDDR2 SDRAM operating at 1066 Mbps data rate with 1.2V core/VDDQ supply, 15ns tRCD/tRP timing, and 1.8V VDD2 for I/O. It implements partial array self-refresh, ZQ calibration, and temperature-sensing for mobile SoC memory subsystems in smartphones and tablets.
For engineers reviewing the W979H2KBVX1I TR datasheet, W979H2KBVX1I TR pinout, W979H2KBVX1I TR application, or W979H2KBVX1I TR equivalent, key selection criteria include LPDDR2-1066 compliance, 96-ball VFBGA package with HSUL_12 I/O, burst length flexibility (BL=4/8), MR10-based DQ calibration, and PASR bank masking support.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Winbond's W979HxKB LPDDR2 family and supports dual-voltage operation (1.2V core + 1.8V I/O), differential CK/DQS signaling, and command/address (CA) bus termination via on-die termination (ODT). It implements mode register MR10 for ZQ calibration control and MR16 for partial array self-refresh (PASR) bank masking.
Timing compliance includes tRCD = tRP = 15ns at 533MHz clock (1066Mbps), tCCD = 2 cycles, RL = 3/5, WL = 1, and tDQSCKDL/DM/DS specifications aligned with JEDEC JESD209-2A. Power states include active, precharge power-down, deep power-down, and self-refresh with temperature-aware entry/exit.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LPDDR2 memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT42L256M16RE-125:E | 2Gb LPDDR2, 125ps tAC, 1.2V only (no VDD2), 100-ball BGA, supports RL=4/6 but not MR10 ZQ reset. | Lacks VDD2 rail and PASR bank masking; requires external ZQ resistor; suited for cost-sensitive non-mobile designs. | Select when board-level ZQ calibration with external resistor is acceptable and industrial temperature range is not required. |
| ISSI IS42S16160J-6BLI | 256Mb × 16-bit (512Mb total), 1.8V-only interface, no temperature sensor, no PASR, tRCD = 20ns at 400MHz. | Lower density, slower speed, wider voltage tolerance; lacks LPDDR2-specific features like DQS gating and deep power-down. | Choose for legacy LPDDR2 systems where bandwidth and power optimization are secondary to supply simplicity. |

FAQ
What is the operating voltage configuration for W979H2KBVX1I TR?
W979H2KBVX1I TR requires three distinct supply rails: VDD/VDDQ = 1.2V ±0.06V for core and I/O logic, and VDD2 = 1.8V ±0.1V for auxiliary I/O circuitry. This dual-voltage architecture enables LPDDR2-1066 performance while maintaining low core power consumption. The W979H2KBVX1I TR datasheet specifies strict decoupling and sequencing requirements between these rails to ensure stable initialization and command execution.
Does W979H2KBVX1I TR support partial array self-refresh (PASR)?
Yes, W979H2KBVX1I TR supports PASR via Mode Register MR16 (MA[7:0] = 10H), allowing selective self-refresh of individual banks or bank groups. This feature reduces self-refresh current by up to 60% compared to full-array refresh, directly extending battery life in mobile devices. The W979H2KBVX1I TR implements PASR per JEDEC JESD209-2A section 5.3.2, with bank mask bits defined in MR16[7:0].
What package type and dimensions does W979H2KBVX1I TR use?
W979H2KBVX1I TR uses a 96-ball Very Thin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA) package measuring 8mm × 12.5mm × 0.6mm with 0.5mm ball pitch. This JEDEC-standard LPDDR2 package supports high-density mobile PCB layouts and reflow-compatible assembly. The W979H2KBVX1I TR ball map aligns with LPDDR2 specification JESD209-2A Annex A, including dedicated HSUL_12 I/O, differential clocks/strobes, and on-die termination control pins.
How does W979H2KBVX1I TR handle impedance calibration?
W979H2KBVX1I TR performs on-die impedance calibration using an external 240Ω ±1% ZQ resistor connected to the ZQ pin. Calibration is initiated via Mode Register Write (MRW) to MR23 and adjusts RONPU/RONPD driver strengths to compensate for process/voltage/temperature variation. The W979H2KBVX1I TR supports long, short, and reset calibration sequences per JEDEC timing tables, ensuring signal integrity across 1066Mbps operation.
Is W979H2KBVX1I TR qualified for industrial temperature operation?
Yes, W979H2KBVX1I TR is rated for -40°C to +85°C operation and qualified per industrial temperature standards. Its electrical characteristics-including tRCD, tRP, IDD currents, and ZQ calibration stability-are fully specified across this range. The W979H2KBVX1I TR integrates a temperature sensor feeding MR4, enabling dynamic refresh rate adaptation per JEDEC thermal management guidelines, which is essential for sustained reliability in uncontrolled thermal environments.
