Product details
Overview
W97BH2MBVA1E from Winbond Electronics is a 2Gb LPDDR2-S4B mobile SDRAM with 16-bit data bus, 1.2V core/VDDQ supply, and 800 Mbps/pin data rate (LPDDR2-800). It implements dual-bank architecture with programmable burst lengths (BL=4/8), supports partial array self-refresh (PASR), and targets memory subsystems in smartphones and portable tablets requiring low-power, high-density mobile DRAM.
For engineers reviewing the W97BH2MBVA1E datasheet, W97BH2MBVA1E pinout, W97BH2MBVA1E application, or W97BH2MBVA1E equivalent, key selection criteria include LPDDR2-800 timing compliance (tRCD = 3, tRP = 3), HSUL_12 I/O interface, ZQ calibration support, and PASR bank/segment masking capability for dynamic power optimization.
Technical Context
This device operates as a synchronous, double-data-rate mobile DRAM compliant with JEDEC JESD209-2 standard. It uses differential CK_t/CK_c clock inputs and single-ended CA/CS_n command/address signals, with HSUL_12 output drivers calibrated via external 240Ω ZQ resistor.
Internal architecture includes eight banks organized as two independent 4-bank groups, supporting concurrent activation across groups. Mode registers MR0–MR63 define device features including burst type (sequential/interleaved), read/write latency (RL=3/5, WL=1), temperature-sensing, and DQ calibration patterns for signal integrity tuning.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LPDDR2 mobile SDRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT42L256M16D1KJ-107 WT:A | Same density (2Gb), x16, LPDDR2-1066; higher speed grade; tighter tRCD/tRP = 2 cycles | Requires faster SoC memory controller with LPDDR2-1066 timing support and revised layout for 1.066 Gbps signaling | Select when system demands >1.6 GB/s bandwidth and controller supports RL=2/WL=1 timing |
| K4P2G324EC-ACF6 | 2Gb x16 LPDDR2-800; identical tRCD/tRP = 3, same HSUL_12 I/O; different ball map and ZQ pin location | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign due to non-matching FBGA footprint and CA/DQ pin assignments | Consider only for new designs where layout flexibility allows re-routing; verify MR register compatibility for PASR/ZQ behavior |

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate for W97BH2MBVA1E?
The W97BH2MBVA1E supports LPDDR2-800 operation with a maximum data rate of 800 Mbps per pin, corresponding to a clock period (tCK) of 2.5 ns. This is confirmed in the device's AC timing specifications table, where tRCD, tRP, and tRRD are defined in clock cycles relative to this base frequency. The W97BH2MBVA1E does not support LPDDR2-1066 mode.
Does W97BH2MBVA1E support partial array self-refresh (PASR)?
Yes, W97BH2MBVA1E fully supports PASR via Mode Registers MR16 (bank mask) and MR17 (segment mask), allowing selective refresh of active memory regions. This feature is explicitly detailed in Section 7.4.18–7.4.19 of the datasheet and reduces refresh current by up to 50% when only one bank group is active, critical for battery-powered devices.
What ZQ calibration resistor value is required for W97BH2MBVA1E?
W97BH2MBVA1E requires a 240Ω ±1% external precision resistor connected to the ZQ pin, as specified in Section 7.4.24.5 and Electrical Characteristics Table 8.2.4.5. This resistor serves as the reference for RONPU/RONPD output driver calibration, ensuring consistent HSUL_12 impedance matching across process, voltage, and temperature variations.
Is W97BH2MBVA1E compatible with LPDDR2-1066 controllers?
No, W97BH2MBVA1E is rated and characterized only for LPDDR2-800 operation (tCK = 2.5 ns). Its timing parameters-including tRCD = 3, tRP = 3, and tFAW = 20-are specified at this speed grade. Attempting LPDDR2-1066 operation would violate guaranteed timing margins and is not supported by Winbond's characterization or reliability testing for the W97BH2MBVA1E.
What is the operating temperature range for W97BH2MBVA1E?
W97BH2MBVA1E is specified for commercial operation from 0°C to +70°C ambient temperature, as stated in Section 8.2.3 of the datasheet. It includes an integrated temperature sensor (accessible via MR4) but is not qualified for industrial (-25°C to +85°C) or extended temperature grades-those require alternate part numbers in the W97BH family.
