Product details
Overview
W97AH2KBVX2E from Winbond is a 1Gb LPDDR2-S4B mobile SDRAM with 16-bit data bus width, 1.2V core/VDDQ supply, and 134-ball VFBGA (8mm × 12.5mm × 0.6mm) package. It supports 400MHz clock frequency (800Mbps data rate), tRC = 42ns, and operates across -25°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. It serves as main memory in portable multimedia SoC platforms requiring low-power, high-bandwidth DRAM.
For engineers reviewing the W97AH2KBVX2E datasheet, W97AH2KBVX2E pinout, W97AH2KBVX2E application, or W97AH2KBVX2E equivalent, key selection considerations include LPDDR2-800 timing compliance, VFBGA-134 mechanical compatibility, PASR bank/segment masking support, ZQ calibration capability, and industrial-grade thermal performance.
Technical Context
This device implements JEDEC-standard LPDDR2-S4B protocol with dual-channel differential CK_t/CK_c and DQS_t/DQS_c interfaces, HSUL_12 I/O driver standard, and on-die termination calibrated via external 240Ω ±1% RZQ resistor. It supports burst lengths of 4 and 8, read/write latencies RL=3/RL=5 and WL=1, and all-bank or per-bank refresh.
Functional operation includes mode register configuration (MR0–MR63), partial array self-refresh (PASR) with bank and segment masking, temperature-sensor-assisted DQ calibration (MR4/MR32/MR40), and deep power-down with retention. Initialization requires controlled power ramp, CKE assertion, and MRW sequences per JEDEC JESD209-2A.

FAQ
What is the package type and dimensions of the W97AH2KBVX2E?
The W97AH2KBVX2E uses a 134-ball Very Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA) package measuring 8.0mm × 12.5mm × 0.6mm with 0.5mm ball pitch. It complies with JEDEC MO-270DA and is lead-free/RoHS-compliant. This compact footprint supports high-density mobile PCB layouts while maintaining thermal performance within industrial temperature limits.
Does the W97AH2KBVX2E support partial array self-refresh (PASR)?
Yes, the W97AH2KBVX2E supports both bank-level and segment-level partial array self-refresh via mode registers MR16 (PASR_Bank Mask) and MR17 (PASR_Segment Mask). This feature allows selective retention of active memory regions during low-power states, reducing standby current by over 40% compared to full-array self-refresh-critical for extending battery life in portable devices using the W97AH2KBVX2E.
What are the supported data rates and timing grades for the W97AH2KBVX2E?
The W97AH2KBVX2E is rated for LPDDR2-800 operation at 400MHz clock frequency (800Mbps per pin), with tRCD = 3 cycles, tRP = 3 cycles, and tRC = 42ns minimum. It meets all AC timing parameters defined in JEDEC JESD209-2A for the S4B speed bin, including tFAW = 2 cycles and tCCD = 2 cycles, ensuring interoperability with compliant controllers like ARM Mali or Imagination GPUs.
How does ZQ calibration work on the W97AH2KBVX2E?
The W97AH2KBVX2E implements ZQ calibration using an external 240Ω ±1% RZQ resistor connected to the ZQ pin. It supports three calibration modes: ZQCL (long calibration at power-up), ZQCS (short calibration during operation), and ZQRESET (calibration reset). These maintain stable output driver impedance across voltage and temperature variations, directly improving signal integrity for the W97AH2KBVX2E's HSUL_12 I/O interface.
Is the W97AH2KBVX2E qualified for industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the W97AH2KBVX2E is fully specified and tested for industrial temperature operation from -25°C to +85°C. All DC and AC parameters-including tRAS, tRC, IDD currents, and setup/hold timing-are guaranteed across this range. This makes the W97AH2KBVX2E suitable for automotive infotainment, industrial HMIs, and outdoor portable equipment where ambient thermal stress exceeds commercial-grade limits.
