Product details
Overview
W97BH2KBVX2I from Winbond Electronics is a 2Gb LPDDR2-S4B synchronous DRAM with 1.2V core/VDDQ supply, 800 Mbps/pin data rate (LPDDR2-800), and 134-ball VFBGA (8mm × 10.5mm × 0.6mm) package. It supports burst lengths of 4/8, on-die termination, partial array self-refresh, and ZQ calibration for mobile SoC memory subsystems in smartphones and tablets.
For engineers reviewing the W97BH2KBVX2I datasheet, W97BH2KBVX2I pinout, W97BH2KBVX2I application, or W97BH2KBVX2I equivalent, key selection criteria include LPDDR2-800 timing compliance (tRCD = 3, tRP = 3, tRRD = 2), MR10-based DQ calibration support, PASR bank/segment masking capability, and VFBGA-134 mechanical compatibility with space-constrained mobile PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements the JEDEC LPDDR2 S4B standard with dual-channel 16-bit I/O architecture, supporting both single-ended CA/CS_n signaling and differential CK_t/CK_c and DQS_t/DQS_c interfaces. It uses HSUL_12 I/O drivers with programmable RONPU/RONPD and ZQ calibration for impedance matching.
Functional operation includes mode register configuration (MR0–MR63), temperature-sensing via MR4, seamless burst reads/writes (tCCD = 2), and power management states: active, precharge, power-down, deep power-down, and self-refresh with bank- or segment-level masking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Gb (256M × 8-bit organization) |
| Data Rate | 800 Mbps/pin (LPDDR2-800, 400 MHz clock) |
| Supply Voltage | VDD/VDDQ = 1.2V ± 0.06V - defines core logic and I/O voltage tolerance for battery-powered systems |
| Burst Length | Configurable BL = 4 or 8 - determines minimum read/write transaction size per command |
| tRCD / tRP / tRRD | 3/3/2 clock cycles - critical timing constraints for activate-to-read/write and row precharge sequencing |
| Package | 134-ball VFBGA (8.0mm × 10.5mm × 0.6mm, 0.5mm pitch) - enables high-density mobile PCB routing |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +95°C (Industrial grade) - supports extended thermal environments in handheld devices |
Pinout & Package
W97BH2KBVX2I is housed in a 134-ball Very Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA) package with 0.5 mm ball pitch, 8.0 mm × 10.5 mm body size, and 0.6 mm maximum height. Pin assignments follow JEDEC-standard LPDDR2 S4B layout for 16-bit data bus, 14-bit address/command bus, and dedicated differential clocks/strobes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O (bidirectional) | 16-bit data bus using HSUL_12 drivers; supports write data mask (DM) and DQS-strobed reads/writes |
| CK_t / CK_c | Differential clock input | True LVDS-style clock pair; defines system timing reference with 50% duty cycle requirement |
| DQS_t / DQS_c | Differential strobe (bidirectional) | Source-synchronous strobe for DQ capture; toggles on read, driven by controller on write |
| CA0–CA13 | Command/address bus | 14-bit single-ended bus carrying commands (ACT, PRE, REF), addresses, and mode register codes |
| CS_n | Chip select | Active-low enable controlling command decoding; required for all valid operations |
| CKE | Clock enable | Controls entry/exit from power-down and self-refresh; must be stable during critical timing windows |
| ZQ | Calibration reference | Connects to external 240Ω ±1% resistor for on-die RONPU/RONPD calibration and output impedance tuning |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-die termination (ODT) | Programmable ODT resistance (75Ω/150Ω) reduces signal reflections on high-speed DQ/DQS lines without external resistors |
| ZQ calibration | Supports ZQ short/long calibration cycles (MR24) to maintain output driver impedance accuracy across voltage/temperature drift |
| Partial array self-refresh (PASR) | MR16/MR17 enable selective refresh of active banks or segments - cuts self-refresh current by up to 50% in idle memory regions |
| Temperature sensor | Integrated sensor (accessed via MR4) provides real-time die temperature for dynamic refresh rate adjustment (tREFI scaling) |
| HSUL_12 I/O standard | Low-voltage swing (0.6V) differential interface compatible with LPDDR2-800 timing and mobile SoC PHYs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LPDDR2 memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT42L256M16LX-107:J | 2Gb LPDDR2-1066 (533 MHz), 168-ball WFBGA, higher speed but wider package (10mm × 12.5mm) | Requires PCB redesign for larger footprint and tighter routing; suited for performance-critical designs needing >1.7 GB/s bandwidth | Select if system clock supports 533 MHz and board area allows 168-ball WFBGA |
| IS42S16160F-6BLI | 2Gb LPDDR2-667 (333 MHz), 134-ball VFBGA, same package but lower data rate and no PASR or ZQ calibration | Lacks advanced power management features; suitable for cost-sensitive, thermally stable consumer electronics | Select if design targets ≤667 Mbps and does not require dynamic refresh or impedance calibration |
Compared with MT42L256M16LX-107:J and IS42S16160F-6BLI, W97BH2KBVX2I delivers optimal balance of LPDDR2-800 speed, industrial temperature range, VFBGA-134 compactness, and feature-rich power management - making it ideal for space-constrained mobile and embedded platforms where thermal and layout constraints dominate.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for W97BH2KBVX2I?
W97BH2KBVX2I is rated for industrial temperature operation from -40°C to +95°C. This range is confirmed in Section 8.2.3 of the official datasheet and validated across AC/DC electrical tests. The device includes an integrated temperature sensor (accessible via MR4) to support dynamic refresh rate adjustment within this full range. W97BH2KBVX2I maintains LPDDR2-800 timing compliance and signal integrity across the entire span without derating.
Does W97BH2KBVX2I support ZQ calibration, and how is it implemented?
Yes, W97BH2KBVX2I supports both ZQ short and long calibration cycles per JEDEC LPDDR2 specification. Calibration is initiated via MR24 command and references an external 240Ω ±1% resistor connected to the ZQ pin. The device adjusts its output driver pull-up (RONPU) and pull-down (RONPD) impedances to match target values, ensuring consistent signal integrity across voltage and temperature variations. This function is mandatory for stable 800 Mbps operation and is documented in Sections 7.4.24 and 8.2.6.
What package type and ball count does W97BH2KBVX2I use?
W97BH2KBVX2I uses a 134-ball Very Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA) package measuring 8.0 mm × 10.5 mm × 0.6 mm with 0.5 mm ball pitch. This matches the "VX" suffix in the part number and is explicitly defined in Section 4.1 of the datasheet. It is distinct from the 168-ball WFBGA option used in the W97BH6KB variant and is optimized for compact mobile PCB layouts.
Can W97BH2KBVX2I operate at LPDDR2-1066 speed?
No, W97BH2KBVX2I is specified only for LPDDR2-800 operation (400 MHz clock, 800 Mbps/pin). Its timing parameters - including tRCD = 3, tRP = 3, and tRRD = 2 - are validated exclusively at this data rate. The datasheet does not list AC characteristics or timing margins for 533 MHz operation, and attempting LPDDR2-1066 may result in setup/hold violations or data corruption. For 1066 Mbps, Winbond offers the W97BH6KB variant in 168-ball WFBGA.
How does partial array self-refresh (PASR) work in W97BH2KBVX2I?
W97BH2KBVX2I implements PASR through Mode Registers MR16 (bank mask) and MR17 (segment mask), allowing selective refresh of only active memory regions. When enabled, unused banks or segments are excluded from periodic refresh cycles, reducing self-refresh current by up to 50%. This feature is controlled entirely via MR writes and requires no external hardware. PASR behavior is fully defined in Sections 7.4.18–7.4.19 and validated across the -40°C to +95°C range.
