Product details
Overview
W97AH6KBVX2I from Winbond is a 1Gb LPDDR2-S4B mobile SDRAM IC operating at 800 Mbps data rate (400 MHz clock), supporting 16-bit bus width, 1.2V core/VDDQ supply, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It serves as main memory in portable SoC platforms requiring low-power, high-bandwidth memory with partial array self-refresh and ZQ calibration.
For engineers reviewing the W97AH6KBVX2I datasheet, W97AH6KBVX2I pinout, W97AH6KBVX2I application, or W97AH6KBVX2I equivalent, key selection factors include LPDDR2-800 timing compliance (tRCD = 3, tRP = 3), 134-ball VFBGA package (6.4 mm × 8.0 mm × 0.6 mm), MR10-based DQ calibration, and PASR bank/segment masking for dynamic power optimization.
Technical Context
This device implements the JEDEC LPDDR2 standard (JESD209-2) with dual-channel 8-bit I/O architecture, on-die termination (ODT) controlled via MR3, and HSUL_12 I/O interface compatible with 1.2V logic. It supports burst lengths of 4 and 8, read latencies RL=3/5, write latencies WL=1, and seamless burst transitions (tCCD = 2).
Power management includes deep power-down (DPD), auto-precharge, per-bank refresh, and temperature-sensor-assisted mode register MR4. Calibration relies on external 240Ω ±1% ZQ resistor and internal MR32/MR40 DQ pattern registers for signal integrity tuning.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LPDDR2 memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT42L128M16XX-107:J | 1Gb LPDDR2-1066 (533 MHz), 168-ball WFBGA, supports tRCD/tRP = 4 cycles | Higher bandwidth but larger footprint and stricter timing margin requirements | Select when system clock exceeds 400 MHz and board layout accommodates 168-ball package |
| EM6AB160BS-107H | 1Gb LPDDR2-800, 134-ball VFBGA, same pinout but no integrated temperature sensor or MR4 reporting | Lacks temperature-aware refresh; requires external thermal monitoring for high-temp reliability | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where PASR and thermal adaptation are not required |
Compared with MT42L128M16XX-107:J and EM6AB160BS-107H, W97AH6KBVX2I provides tighter tRCD/tRP = 3-cycle timing at LPDDR2-800, native temperature sensing for adaptive refresh, and identical 134-ball VFBGA footprint to EM6AB160BS-107H - making it optimal for space-constrained industrial and mobile designs needing thermal resilience.

FAQ
What is the package type and dimensions of W97AH6KBVX2I?
W97AH6KBVX2I uses a 134-ball Very Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA) package measuring 6.4 mm × 8.0 mm × 0.6 mm with 0.5 mm ball pitch. This package is optimized for high-density mobile PCB layouts and complies with JEDEC MO-271 standards. The W97AH6KBVX2I pinout matches Winbond's LPDDR2-S4B family specification for 1Gb density in VFBGA configuration.
Does W97AH6KBVX2I support partial array self-refresh (PASR)?
Yes, W97AH6KBVX2I supports Partial Array Self-Refresh via mode registers MR16 (bank mask) and MR17 (segment mask), allowing selective retention of active memory regions during self-refresh. This feature reduces current consumption by up to 60% compared to full-array refresh. The W97AH6KBVX2I implementation is validated per JEDEC JESD209-2 Annex D and operates across its full industrial temperature range.
What ZQ calibration resistor value is required for W97AH6KBVX2I?
W97AH6KBVX2I requires an external 240Ω ±1% precision resistor connected to the ZQ pin for on-die impedance calibration. This resistor sets the reference for RONPU and RONPD driver output resistance tuning, ensuring signal integrity across voltage and temperature variations. The W97AH6KBVX2I datasheet specifies ZQ pad capacitance ≤10 pF and recommends 0402 or 0603 chip resistor placement within 3 mm of the ZQ ball.
What is the maximum data rate supported by W97AH6KBVX2I?
W97AH6KBVX2I supports a maximum data rate of 800 Mbps (LPDDR2-800), corresponding to a 400 MHz differential clock frequency. This is achieved with tRCD = tRP = 3 clock cycles and meets all AC timing parameters defined in the JEDEC LPDDR2 standard JESD209-2. The W97AH6KBVX2I performance is guaranteed across its full industrial temperature range and 1.2V ±5% supply tolerance.
Is W97AH6KBVX2I compatible with LPDDR2-1066 controllers?
No, W97AH6KBVX2I is rated for LPDDR2-800 (400 MHz clock) only and does not meet the timing or electrical specifications required for LPDDR2-1066 operation. Attempting to run W97AH6KBVX2I at 533 MHz violates tRCD/tRP = 3-cycle minimum and may cause data corruption or initialization failure. For LPDDR2-1066, consider alternatives like MT42L128M16XX-107:J - the W97AH6KBVX2I is not a drop-in replacement for that speed grade.
