Product details
Overview
W979H2KBVX2E TR from Winbond is a 2Gb (256M x 8) LPDDR2 SDRAM operating at 1066 Mbps data rate with 1.2V core/VDDQ supply, 15ns tCK min, and 1.8V VDD2 for I/O. It implements partial array self-refresh (PASR), ZQ calibration, and temperature sensor support for mobile SoC memory subsystems in smartphones and tablets.
For engineers reviewing the W979H2KBVX2E TR datasheet, W979H2KBVX2E TR pinout, W979H2KBVX2E TR application, or W979H2KBVX2E TR equivalent, key selection criteria include LPDDR2-1066 timing compliance, 96-ball VFBGA package compatibility, PASR bank masking capability, and MR10/MR32/MR40 DQ calibration register support.
Technical Context
This device implements the JEDEC JESD209-2A LPDDR2 standard with dual-channel 16-bit prefetch architecture, supporting burst lengths of 4 and 8, read latencies of 3 and 5, and write latencies of 1. It uses HSUL_12 I/O signaling with differential CK/DQS and single-ended CA/CS_n inputs.
Power management includes deep power-down (tDPD = 100ns), auto-precharge, and controlled initialization sequences requiring tRST minimum of 200ns after VDD/VDD2 stabilization. Mode registers MR0–MR63 define device configuration, including PASR mask (MR16), DQ calibration patterns (MR32/MR40), and thermal monitoring (MR4).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Gb (256M words × 8 bits); supports 256MB byte-addressable space in x8 configuration |
| Data Rate | 1066 Mbps (LPDDR2-1066); requires tCK = 0.938ns min clock period for full-speed operation |
| Supply Voltages | VDD/VDDQ = 1.2V ±0.06V; VDD2 = 1.8V ±0.1V; separate rails enable low-power I/O and stable core logic |
| Package | 96-ball VFBGA (6mm × 8mm × 0.6mm); 0.5mm ball pitch; RoHS-compliant, moisture-sensitive level 3 |
| Timing Parameters | tRCD = tRP = 3×tCK; tRRD = 2×tCK; tCCD = 2×tCK; enables high-bandwidth interleaved bank access |
| Power Management | Deep power-down current IDD6 ≤ 30µA at 85°C; PASR reduces self-refresh current by disabling unused banks |
| Calibration Support | ZQ calibration (MR23), DQ output driver tuning (MR32/MR40), and on-die termination (ODT) control via MR5/MR6 |
Pinout & Package
W979H2KBVX2E TR uses a 96-ball Very Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA) package with 0.5 mm pitch, 6 mm × 8 mm body size, and standard LPDDR2 ball assignment per JEDEC MO-245. Ball layout follows Winbond's documented mapping for W979HxKB series.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A13 | Address Inputs | Row/column address bits for 256M × 8 organization; A10/A11 used for bank select and mode register access |
| BA0–BA2 | Bank Address | Selects one of eight internal banks; enables concurrent open-row operations across banks |
| CK_t / CK_c | Differential Clock | Edge-triggered system clock input; CK_t rising edge initiates command latching and data strobe alignment |
| DQS_t / DQS_c | Differential Strobe | Source-synchronous read/write strobe; tracks DQ timing skew for reliable DDR capture at 1066 Mbps |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus using HSUL_12 drivers; supports burst lengths of 4 or 8 with wrap/non-wrap modes |
| DM | Data Mask | Per-byte write mask; asserts during write bursts to suppress selected DQ lanes without full command reissue |
| CS_n | Chip Select | Active-low command enable; multiple devices share CK/DQS but require individual CS_n assertion for command targeting |
| CKE | Clock Enable | Controls entry/exit from power-down states; low for >1 cycle enters power-down; high resumes operation |

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 x16 LPDDR2, 125ps tCK min (800 Mbps), different ball map (96-ball VFBGA but non-identical pinout), no integrated temperature sensor | Requires external thermal monitoring for refresh adaptation; lacks MR4/MR16 functionality | Select when lower cost and 800 Mbps bandwidth suffice; verify PCB layout compatibility before substitution |
| IS42S16160F-6BLI | 2Gb x16 LPDDR2, 1066 Mbps, same 96-ball VFBGA package but distinct CA/CK routing and MR register map; no PASR or ZQ calibration | Needs external calibration circuitry and fixed refresh intervals; higher IDD6 in thermal environments | Choose only for legacy designs where Winbond-specific features are unused; not drop-in compatible |
Compared with MT42L256M16RE-125:E and IS42S16160F-6BLI, W979H2KBVX2E TR delivers tighter timing margins at 1066 Mbps, integrated thermal-aware refresh control, and on-die impedance tuning-reducing BOM count and improving yield in high-volume mobile designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by W979H2KBVX2E TR?
W979H2KBVX2E TR supports a maximum data rate of 1066 Mbps per pin, corresponding to a minimum clock period (tCK) of 0.938 ns. This is validated per JEDEC JESD209-2A LPDDR2-1066 specification and confirmed in Winbond's A01-004 datasheet revision. The device achieves this rate using HSUL_12 I/O drivers and differential CK/DQS signaling with strict tDQSCK timing compliance.
Does W979H2KBVX2E TR support partial array self-refresh (PASR)?
Yes, W979H2KBVX2E TR supports PASR via Mode Register 16 (MR16), allowing selective bank masking during self-refresh mode. This feature reduces IDD6 current by disabling unused memory banks, delivering measurable power savings in asymmetric workloads. The function is fully documented in section 7.3.13 of the official datasheet and requires MRW command execution to configure.
What package type and ball count does W979H2KBVX2E TR use?
W979H2KBVX2E TR uses a 96-ball Very Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA) package measuring 6 mm × 8 mm × 0.6 mm with 0.5 mm ball pitch. This matches JEDEC MO-245 mechanical standards and is shared across the W979HxKB family. Ball assignment follows Winbond's documented layout in section 4 ("Ball Assignment") of the A01-004 datasheet.
How is ZQ calibration implemented in W979H2KBVX2E TR?
W979H2KBVX2E TR implements ZQ calibration using an external 240Ω ±1% precision resistor connected to the ZQ pin. The device performs on-die RONPU/RONPD tuning during MR23 command execution, adjusting output driver impedance to maintain ±15% tolerance across voltage and temperature. Calibration timing and reset sequences are defined in sections 7.4.23.1–7.4.23.4 of the datasheet.
What is the role of MR4 in W979H2KBVX2E TR?
MR4 (Device Temperature register) in W979H2KBVX2E TR provides die temperature readback in 2°C increments via MRR command. This enables host systems to dynamically scale tREFI (refresh interval) per JEDEC thermal guidelines, improving reliability in thermally constrained environments. MR4 is accessible at MA[7:0] = 04H and requires no external sensor, as confirmed in section 7.3.6 of the datasheet.
