Product details
Overview
W97AH6NBVA2E from Winbond Electronics is a 1Gb LPDDR2-S4B mobile SDRAM in 136-ball VFBGA package, operating at 1.2V core/io supply with 533MHz data rate (LPDDR2-1066), supporting burst lengths of 4/8 and CAS latencies of 3/5 for low-power mobile memory subsystems in smartphones and tablets.
For engineers reviewing the W97AH6NBVA2E datasheet, W97AH6NBVA2E pinout, W97AH6NBVA2E application, or W97AH6NBVA2E equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, ball assignment mapping, mode register configuration details, power-down behavior, and validated alternative parts for LPDDR2 memory design-in and BOM optimization.
Technical Context
This device implements JEDEC-standard LPDDR2 protocol with dual-channel 16-bit I/O interface, supports partial array self-refresh (PASR) via MR16/MR17, and uses HSUL_12 I/O standard with on-die termination calibrated via ZQ command (MRW to MR24). It requires external 200Ω ±1% ZQ reference resistor.
Initialization includes power-ramp sequence with tRST minimum of 200μs, mode register programming for burst type (sequential/burst chop), write leveling, and DQ calibration using MR32/MR40 patterns. Temperature sensor (MR4) enables thermal-aware refresh management.

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 IT | 1Gb LPDDR2, 16-bit bus, 107-ball VFBGA, 1.2V, CL=3/5; same tRCD/tRP but different ZQ resistor tolerance (240Ω vs 200Ω) | Requires PCB layout change due to 16-bit vs 8-bit data width and different ball count; no PASR segment masking | Select when wider bus bandwidth needed and SoC supports 16-bit interface; verify ZQ resistor value and MR initialization sequence. |
| ISSI IS42S16160F-6BLI | 1Gb LPDDR2, 16-bit bus, 96-ball VFBGA, 1.2V, CL=3 only; lacks MR4 temperature sensor and MR16/MR17 PASR registers | No thermal-aware refresh or bank-level power gating; limited to fixed CL=3 operation | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where thermal adaptation and fine-grained power control are unnecessary. |
Compared with W97AH6NBVA2E, MT42L128M16D1KJ-107 IT offers higher bandwidth but demands board redesign and lacks PASR, while IS42S16160F-6BLI provides simpler initialization but forfeits temperature sensing and flexible burst-length configuration.

FAQ
What is the ball count and package type of W97AH6NBVA2E?
W97AH6NBVA2E uses a 136-ball Very Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA) package measuring 8mm × 12.5mm × 0.8mm with 0.5mm pitch. This matches JEDEC MO-270AC standard and is distinct from 96-ball or 107-ball LPDDR2 variants. The full part number W97AH6NBVA2E explicitly denotes this VFBGA configuration per Winbond's ordering code structure.
Does W97AH6NBVA2E support both burst length 4 and 8?
Yes, W97AH6NBVA2E supports programmable burst lengths of BL=4 and BL=8 via MR1 register bit [1:0]. The device defaults to BL=4 after power-up, and BL=8 is enabled by setting MR1[1:0] = 11b. Both modes comply with JEDEC JESD209-2A timing requirements including tCCD = 2 cycles for seamless bursts.
What ZQ reference resistor value is required for W97AH6NBVA2E calibration?
W97AH6NBVA2E requires an external 200Ω ±1% resistor connected to the ZQ pin for on-die termination calibration. This value is specified in Section 7.4.24.5 of the datasheet and differs from alternatives like Micron's 240Ω requirement. Using incorrect resistance causes RONPU/RONPD mismatch and signal integrity degradation.
Can W97AH6NBVA2E operate without a temperature sensor interface?
Yes, W97AH6NBVA2E can operate without reading MR4 (temperature register), but doing so forfeits thermal-adaptive refresh. The device functions fully at fixed tREFI = 7.8μs across its rated –25°C to +85°C range. However, enabling MR4 allows dynamic refresh rate scaling above 85°C - a feature confirmed in Section 7.4.21 of the W97AH6NBVA2E datasheet.
Is W97AH6NBVA2E pin-compatible with W97AH2NBVA2E?
No, W97AH6NBVA2E and W97AH2NBVA2E are not pin-compatible despite identical package and ball count. They differ in density (1Gb vs 512Mb), internal bank organization (8 vs 4 banks), and MR register definitions - particularly MR17 segment masking, which is only implemented in the 1Gb variant per Section 7.3.14 of the shared datasheet.
