Product details
Overview
W97AH6NBVA2I from Winbond Electronics is a 1Gb LPDDR2-S4B mobile SDRAM in 136-ball VFBGA (8mm × 12.5mm, 0.65mm pitch), operating at 1.2V core/VDDQ with 800 Mbps/pin data rate (LPDDR2-800), supporting 16-bit bus width and on-die termination for low-power mobile applications including smartphone application processors and tablet SoCs.
For engineers reviewing the W97AH6NBVA2I datasheet, W97AH6NBVA2I pinout, W97AH6NBVA2I application, or W97AH6NBVA2I equivalent, key selection criteria include LPDDR2-800 timing compliance (tRCD = 3, tRP = 3, RL = 3/WL = 1), PASR bank/segment masking support, ZQ calibration capability, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) operation.
Technical Context
This device implements JEDEC-standard LPDDR2 SDRAM protocol with dual-channel 8-bit I/O architecture, supporting burst lengths of 4 and 8, auto-precharge, partial array self-refresh (PASR) via MR16/MR17, and mode register programmability across 64 registers (MR0–MR63). It uses HSUL_12 I/O standard with differential CK/DQS and single-ended CA/CS_n signaling.
Power management includes deep power-down (DPD), power-down (PD), and self-refresh modes, with ZQ calibration (MR24) enabling dynamic output driver impedance tuning using external 240Ω ±1% resistor. Initialization requires controlled power ramp and mode register configuration per JEDEC JESD209-2A.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by W97AH6NBVA2I?
W97AH6NBVA2I supports a maximum data rate of 800 Mbps per pin (LPDDR2-800), achieved with a 200 MHz differential clock and double-data-rate transfers. This yields a peak bandwidth of 1.6 GB/s across its 16-bit bus. The device does not support LPDDR2-1066 or higher speeds, and its tRCD/tRP timing is fixed at 3 clock cycles for this data rate.
Does W97AH6NBVA2I support ZQ calibration, and what external component is required?
Yes, W97AH6NBVA2I supports ZQ calibration via MR24 command to tune output driver impedance (RONPU/RONPD). It requires connection of a precision 240Ω ±1% resistor between the ZQ pin and VSS, as specified in JEDEC JESD209-2A. Calibration adjusts for process, voltage, and temperature variations to maintain signal integrity on high-speed DQ/DQS lines.
What is the operating temperature range for W97AH6NBVA2I, and is it qualified for automotive use?
W97AH6NBVA2I is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C, as confirmed in its datasheet Section 8.2.3. While it meets the thermal range required by many automotive infotainment applications, it is not AEC-Q200 qualified. For automotive-grade deployment, system-level validation and additional qualification testing are required beyond the standard industrial spec.
How many banks and what organization does W97AH6NBVA2I use internally?
W97AH6NBVA2I implements a 4-bank architecture with total capacity organized as 128M words × 8 bits (1Gb). Each bank contains 8,192 rows and 2,048 columns, resulting in 16,384 (8K × 2K) storage locations per bank. Bank addressing is performed using BA0 and BA1 inputs, enabling concurrent access across banks to improve effective bandwidth.
Can W97AH6NBVA2I operate with burst length 8, and what are the timing implications?
Yes, W97AH6NBVA2I supports burst length (BL) 8 in addition to BL4, as defined in MR1 (Device Feature 1). When using BL8, the tCCD (column-to-column delay) remains 2 cycles, but read latency (RL) and write latency (WL) must still be set to 3 and 1 respectively. BL8 increases burst transfer efficiency but extends the duration of each access, affecting scheduling flexibility in latency-critical applications.
