Product details
Overview
W979H6KBVX2I TR from Winbond is a 512Mb LPDDR2 SDRAM organized as 4 banks × 16M × 16-bit, operating at 1.2V core/VDDQ supply with 800 Mbps/pin data rate (LPDDR2-800), supporting burst lengths of 4/8 and CAS latencies of 3/5 in mobile application processors and baseband SoCs.
For engineers reviewing the W979H6KBVX2I TR datasheet, W979H6KBVX2I TR pinout, W979H6KBVX2I TR application, or W979H6KBVX2I TR equivalent, key selection criteria include LPDDR2-800 timing compliance, 134-ball VFBGA (8mm × 11.5mm × 0.6mm) package compatibility, partial array self-refresh (PASR) support, ZQ calibration capability, and temperature sensor integration for thermal-aware memory management.
Technical Context
This LPDDR2 device implements dual-channel differential clock (CK_t/CK_c) and strobe (DQS_t/DQS_c) interfaces with HSUL_12 I/O standard, supports mode register programming across MR0–MR63 including MR4 (device temperature), MR10 (calibration), and MR16 (PASR bank mask), and uses command-based state transitions for power-down, deep power-down, and self-refresh entry/exit.
It requires precise tRCD = 3tCK, tRP = 3tCK, and tRRD = 2tCK activation timing, supports seamless burst reads/writes with tCCD = 2, and enables DQ calibration via MR32/MR40 using external 240Ω ±1% ZQ resistor per JEDEC JESD209-2A specification.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LPDDR2 memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT42L128M16D1KJ-107 WT:A | Same 512Mb density, 134-ball VFBGA, but rated for LPDDR2-1066 (1066 Mbps/pin); higher IDD0/IDD2 current | Preferred where sustained bandwidth >1.7GB/s required; less optimized for ultra-low-power sleep modes | Select when system clock frequency exceeds 533MHz and thermal budget allows higher active current |
| IS42S16160F-6BLI | Legacy LPDDR1 (not LPDDR2); 16-bit x 16M, 64-ball VFBGA; no ZQ calibration, PASR, or temperature sensor | Suitable only for cost-sensitive legacy designs lacking advanced power management requirements | Use only if backward compatibility with LPDDR1 controllers is mandatory and power/performance trade-offs are acceptable |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for W979H6KBVX2I TR?
W979H6KBVX2I TR is specified for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 3 requirements for automotive infotainment use. Its integrated temperature sensor (readable via MR4) provides real-time die temperature feedback to the host controller for thermal-aware refresh scheduling and performance throttling.
Does W979H6KBVX2I TR support ZQ calibration, and what external component is required?
Yes, W979H6KBVX2I TR supports ZQ calibration via MR23 command to trim DQ driver output impedance to 34Ω ±10%. It requires a single 240Ω ±1% external resistor connected between ZQ pin and VSS, with ≤1.5pF capacitive loading, per JEDEC JESD209-2A section 4.2.3.
What package type and dimensions does W979H6KBVX2I TR use?
W979H6KBVX2I TR uses a 134-ball Very Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA) package measuring 8.0mm × 11.5mm × 0.6mm with 0.4mm ball pitch. This footprint matches JEDEC MO-245AB and is optimized for high-density mobile PCB layouts with tight routing constraints.
How does Partial Array Self-Refresh (PASR) function in W979H6KBVX2I TR?
In W979H6KBVX2I TR, PASR is enabled by writing bank mask bits in MR16 (MA[7:0] = 10H), allowing the host to selectively retain only active banks in self-refresh while powering down idle banks. This reduces IDD6 current by up to 50% versus full-array self-refresh, extending battery life in always-on mobile states.
What are the supported burst length and CAS latency configurations for W979H6KBVX2I TR?
W979H6KBVX2I TR supports burst lengths of BL = 4 or 8, selectable via MR1 bit [2:1], and CAS latencies of CL = 3 or 5, set in MR0 bit [2:0]. These are configured at initialization and remain fixed until reprogrammed; CL = 3 is typical for LPDDR2-800 operation with tCK = 1.25ns.
