Product details
Overview
W979H2KBVX2I TR from Winbond is a 2Gb (256M x 8) LPDDR2 SDRAM operating at 1066 Mbps data rate (533 MHz clock), supporting 1.2V VDD/VDDQ, 15-bank architecture, and on-die termination with ZQ calibration. It serves as main memory in mobile SoC platforms requiring low-power, high-bandwidth memory interfaces - deployed in LTE/5G baseband processors and application processors.
For engineers reviewing the W979H2KBVX2I TR datasheet, W979H2KBVX2I TR pinout, W979H2KBVX2I TR application, or W979H2KBVX2I TR equivalent, key selection criteria include LPDDR2-1066 timing compliance (tRCD = 3, tRP = 3), partial array self-refresh (PASR) support for dynamic power gating, temperature sensor integration, and HSUL_12 I/O interface compatibility with mobile PHYs.
Technical Context
This LPDDR2 SDRAM implements dual-channel 16-bit data bus (x16 configuration), supports burst lengths of 4 and 8, and uses differential CK/CK# and DQS/DQS# with single-ended CA/CS# inputs. Its mode register set (MR0–MR63) enables fine-grained control over refresh scheduling, PASR bank masking, DQ calibration patterns, and thermal management via MR4_Device Temperature.
The device executes full and partial self-refresh, deep power-down, and power-down modes with CKE-controlled entry/exit. Timing parameters are defined relative to tCK (1.87 ns min for 533 MHz), including tDQSCKmin/tDQSCKmax for read capture window alignment and tCCD = 2 for seamless burst chaining.

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 LPDDR2-1250 (625 MHz), 1.2V, 15-bank, but lacks integrated temperature sensor and MR4 reporting | Requires external thermal monitoring for refresh scaling; suited for cost-sensitive consumer tablets without thermal management firmware | Select when higher bandwidth (1250 Mbps) is prioritized over thermal-aware power optimization |
| IS42S16160F-6BLI | 2Gb x16 LPDDR2-800 (400 MHz), 1.2V, 8-bank, no PASR or ZQ calibration; uses legacy SSTL_12 I/O | Limited to lower-performance SoCs; incompatible with HSUL_12 PHYs and requires external ODT resistors | Select only for legacy designs where pin compatibility with older IS42S family is mandatory and bandwidth <800 Mbps suffices |
Compared with W979H2KBVX2I TR, MT42L256M16RE-125:E delivers 17% higher peak bandwidth but forfeits thermal-aware refresh control, while IS42S16160F-6BLI trades 21% bandwidth and advanced power features for broader backward compatibility and lower BOM cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the W979H2KBVX2I TR?
The W979H2KBVX2I TR supports a maximum data rate of 1066 Mbps, corresponding to a 533 MHz clock frequency (tCK = 1.87 ns minimum). This complies with the LPDDR2-1066 speed bin and is validated across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) with specified AC timing margins.
Does the W979H2KBVX2I TR include an integrated temperature sensor?
Yes, the W979H2KBVX2I TR integrates an analog temperature sensor accessible via Mode Register MR4 (MA[7:0] = 04H). The sensor output is reported as a 4-bit code, enabling system controllers to adjust refresh intervals per JEDEC JESD209-2A thermal derating requirements without external components.
What package type and ball count does the W979H2KBVX2I TR use?
The W979H2KBVX2I TR uses a 134-ball Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package measuring 10.5 mm × 12.5 mm with 0.65 mm ball pitch. This JEDEC MO-270CA-compliant package supports high-density mobile PCB layouts and thermal dissipation requirements for LPDDR2 memory subsystems.
How does the W979H2KBVX2I TR implement on-die termination?
The W979H2KBVX2I TR implements programmable on-die termination (ODT) using RONPU and RONPD resistors calibrated via ZQ command against an external 240 Ω ±1% reference resistor. Calibration occurs at power-up and can be re-triggered, ensuring consistent 40–60 Ω termination across voltage and temperature variations.
What power-saving modes are supported by the W979H2KBVX2I TR?
The W979H2KBVX2I TR supports three low-power states: Power-Down (reduced IDD2N), Self-Refresh (retains data with minimal current), and Deep Power-Down (IDD6 ≤10 μA). All modes are entered via CKE deassertion and specific command sequences, with Deep Power-Down requiring MR63 reset to exit.
