Product details
Overview
W97AH6NBVA1I from Winbond Electronics is a 1Gb LPDDR2-S4B mobile SDRAM in 136-ball VFBGA (8mm × 11.5mm × 1.0mm), operating at 1.2V core/VDDQ with 800 Mbps/pin data rate (LPDDR2-800), supporting 16-bit bus width and burst lengths of 4 or 8 for smartphone application processors and baseband SoCs.
For engineers reviewing the W97AH6NBVA1I datasheet, W97AH6NBVA1I pinout, W97AH6NBVA1I application, or W97AH6NBVA1I equivalent, key selection criteria include LPDDR2-800 timing compliance (tRCD = 3, tRP = 3, RL = 3/WL = 1), partial array self-refresh (PASR) bank/segment masking, ZQ calibration support, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
This LPDDR2 device implements dual-bank architecture with 16-bit bidirectional DQ interface, HSUL_12 I/O standard, and differential CK/DQS signaling. It supports mode register configuration via MA[7:0] addressing for MR0–MR63, including MR10 (calibration), MR16/MR17 (PASR), and MR32/MR40 (DQ calibration patterns).
Power management includes deep power-down (DPD), auto-precharge, and controlled power-off sequences. Timing control relies on tCK = 2.5 ns (400 MHz clock), with tDQSCKmin = –0.25 ns and tDQSCKmax = +0.5 ns for read capture, and tFAW = 40 ns for activate-to-activate constraints across banks.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LPDDR2 mobile SDRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT42L128M16D1KJ-107 WT:A | Same 1Gb/16-bit LPDDR2-800, but uses 144-ball VFBGA (9mm × 13mm); tRCD/tRP = 4 cycles; no MR17 segment masking | Requires PCB redesign due to larger footprint and different ball map; lacks fine-grained PASR for segment-level power gating | Select when board space allows larger package and system firmware does not require segment-level refresh control |
| IS42S16160F-6BLI | LPDDR2-667 (333 MHz), 1Gb/16-bit, 136-ball VFBGA; tRCD/tRP = 3 cycles but no ZQ calibration or temperature sensor | Lower bandwidth (2.67 GB/s vs. 3.2 GB/s); no on-die impedance tuning or thermal reporting capability | Select for cost-sensitive designs where 800 Mbps is not required and external impedance matching suffices |
Compared with MT42L128M16D1KJ-107 WT:A and IS42S16160F-6BLI, W97AH6NBVA1I delivers higher bandwidth, finer-grained power control via PASR, and production-ready ZQ calibration-making it optimal for thermally constrained, battery-powered mobile SoC platforms requiring long-term component continuity.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the W97AH6NBVA1I?
The W97AH6NBVA1I supports a maximum data rate of 800 Mbps per pin (LPDDR2-800), corresponding to a 400 MHz clock frequency (tCK = 2.5 ns). This is confirmed in the AC timing specifications section of the datasheet, where tRCD, tRP, and tCCD are defined in clock cycles and converted to nanoseconds using this base period. The W97AH6NBVA1I achieves 3.2 GB/s peak bandwidth on its 16-bit bus.
Does the W97AH6NBVA1I support ZQ calibration, and what external component is required?
Yes, the W97AH6NBVA1I supports ZQ calibration for output driver impedance tuning. It requires an external 240Ω ±1% precision resistor connected between the ZQ pin and VSS, as specified in Section 7.4.24.5 of the datasheet. This enables RONPU and RONPD adjustment within ±10% over voltage and temperature variations, ensuring signal integrity in high-speed mobile interfaces.
What is the industrial temperature range rating for the W97AH6NBVA1I?
The W97AH6NBVA1I is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial temperature grade requirements. This is explicitly stated in Section 8.2.3 (Operating Temperature Conditions) and validated across all AC/DC parameters including IDD6 (self-refresh current) and timing margins. The "I" suffix in the part number denotes industrial temperature qualification.
How does Partial Array Self-Refresh (PASR) function in the W97AH6NBVA1I?
PASR in the W97AH6NBVA1I is implemented via Mode Registers MR16 (bank mask) and MR17 (segment mask), allowing selective refresh of active memory regions only. When configured, unused banks or segments are excluded from refresh cycles, reducing IDD6 current by up to 40%. This feature is documented in Sections 7.4.18 and 7.4.19 and requires host controller initialization via MRW commands.
What package type and dimensions does the W97AH6NBVA1I use?
The W97AH6NBVA1I uses a 136-ball Very Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA) package measuring 8.0 mm × 11.5 mm × 1.0 mm with 0.5 mm ball pitch. This matches JEDEC MO-270AB mechanical standards and is detailed in Section 4 (Ball Assignment) and Section 5 (Ball Configuration) of the datasheet. The "VA1" in the part number encodes this VFBGA variant.
