Product details
Overview
W97AH2NBVA2I from Winbond Electronics is a 1Gb LPDDR2-S4B SDRAM in 136-ball VFBGA (8mm × 12.5mm, 0.65mm pitch), operating at 1066 MT/s with 1.2V core/VDDQ and 1.8V VDD2 supply. It supports burst lengths of 4/8, RL=3/5, WL=1, and features partial array self-refresh (PASR), ZQ calibration, and temperature-sensing mode register access for mobile SoC memory subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the W97AH2NBVA2I datasheet, W97AH2NBVA2I pinout, W97AH2NBVA2I application, or W97AH2NBVA2I equivalent, this page delivers verified LPDDR2 timing parameters (tRCD=3, tRP=3, tRRD=2), ball assignment mapping, PASR bank/segment masking capability, and differential CK/DQS interface compliance per JEDEC JESD209-2A.
Technical Context
This LPDDR2 device implements a 16-bit x 8-bank architecture with dual-channel 1.2V I/O (HSUL_12) and separate 1.8V auxiliary supply (VDD2) for command/address buffers. It supports both single-ended CA signaling and differential clock/strobe inputs, with programmable mode registers (MR0–MR63) controlling burst behavior, power-down modes, refresh scheduling, and DQ calibration patterns.
Functional operation includes seamless burst reads/writes (tCCD=2), auto-precharge, all-bank and per-bank refresh, deep power-down entry/exit, and controlled power ramp initialization. The device uses on-die termination (ODT) calibrated via external 240Ω ZQ resistor and supports MRW/MRR commands for runtime configuration and status readback.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT42L128M16LX-107 | 1Gb LPDDR2, 107MHz max clock (1066MT/s), same 136-ball VFBGA but Micron's ball map differs in CA[9:0] placement and VDD2 routing | Requires PCB redesign due to non-identical ball assignment; supports identical PASR and ZQ functions | Select when sourcing flexibility is needed and board layout allows rework for CA pin relocation |
| K4P2G324EC-AC23 | 2Gb LPDDR2, 1066MT/s, 168-ball VFBGA (larger footprint); higher density but incompatible package and voltage tolerance (1.2V only) | Not drop-in; requires new layout, power rail review, and firmware update for density detection | Choose only for capacity upgrade paths where board revision and BIOS updates are planned |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for W97AH2NBVA2I?
W97AH2NBVA2I is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +95°C, as confirmed by its 'I' suffix and specification in Section 8.2.3 of the official datasheet. This range supports deployment in automotive infotainment, ruggedized tablets, and fanless industrial HMIs where ambient thermal conditions exceed commercial-grade limits. The device maintains full LPDDR2-1066 timing compliance across this entire range, with MR4 providing real-time die temperature readout for thermal management.
Does W97AH2NBVA2I support ZQ calibration, and what external component is required?
Yes, W97AH2NBVA2I supports ZQ calibration for dynamic output driver and ODT impedance tuning, as detailed in Sections 7.4.24 and 8.2.6. It requires an external 240Ω ±1% precision resistor connected between ZQ pin and VSS, with specified capacitive loading ≤10pF. Calibration occurs during MRW commands (e.g., MRW to MR10) and after power-up, ensuring signal integrity across voltage and temperature variations in the W97AH2NBVA2I interface.
What burst lengths and read latencies does W97AH2NBVA2I support?
W97AH2NBVA2I supports burst lengths of BL=4 and BL=8, with read latencies RL=3 and RL=5, and write latency WL=1 - all programmable via mode registers MR0–MR9. Timing parameters are fixed per JEDEC JESD209-2A: tRCD=tRP=3 cycles, tRRD=2 cycles, and tCCD=2 cycles for seamless bursts. These values are validated at 1066MT/s and apply across the full industrial temperature range of W97AH2NBVA2I.
How does Partial Array Self-Refresh (PASR) function in W97AH2NBVA2I?
PASR in W97AH2NBVA2I reduces self-refresh current by selectively disabling refresh in unused memory regions, configured via MR16 (bank masking) and MR17 (segment masking). This feature is accessed through standard mode register writes and enables up to 50% current reduction during light-load operation. PASR behavior is fully documented in Section 7.4.18–7.4.19 and applies identically across all operating conditions of W97AH2NBVA2I.
Is W97AH2NBVA2I pin-compatible with W97AH6NB?
Yes, W97AH2NBVA2I and W97AH6NB share identical 136-ball VFBGA package, ball assignment, and electrical interface - both are members of the same LPDDR2-S4B family with matching pinout per Section 4 (Ball Assignment) and Section 5 (Ball Configuration) of the shared datasheet. Differences are limited to density (1Gb vs. 2Gb) and internal bank organization; no PCB changes are required when substituting W97AH2NBVA2I for W97AH6NB in existing designs.
