Product details
Overview
W97BH2MBVA1I from Winbond is a 2Gb LPDDR2-S4B mobile SDRAM in 136-ball VFBGA (8mm × 12.5mm × 0.8mm), operating at 1.2V core/VDDQ with 800 Mbps/pin data rate (LPDDR2-800), supporting 16-bit bus width and 1.8V I/O interface. It serves as main memory in space-constrained mobile SoC platforms requiring low standby power and fast burst access.
For engineers reviewing the W97BH2MBVA1I datasheet, W97BH2MBVA1I pinout, W97BH2MBVA1I application, or W97BH2MBVA1I equivalent, key selection criteria include LPDDR2-800 timing compliance (tRCD = 3, tRP = 3), partial array self-refresh (PASR) support, ZQ calibration capability, and VFBGA-136 mechanical compatibility with mobile baseband and application processors.
Technical Context
This device implements JEDEC-standard LPDDR2 protocol with dual-channel 16-bit data bus, on-die termination (ODT) controlled via MR registers, and programmable burst lengths (BL=4/8). It supports all LPDDR2 command sequences including seamless read/write, auto-precharge, per-bank refresh, and deep power-down mode.
Power management includes three low-power states-power-down, self-refresh, and deep power-down-with temperature-sensing MR4 register and DQ calibration via MR32/MR40. Initialization requires strict tRST minimum of 200ns after VDD/VDDQ ramp and CKE stabilization before first command.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LPDDR2 memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT42L256M16RE-125:E | 2Gb LPDDR2-1066 (1066 Mbps/pin), 1.2V core, 136-ball VFBGA, but requires tRCD = 4 and lacks MR4 temperature sensor | Higher bandwidth needed for video decode pipelines; not suitable where thermal-aware refresh is mandatory | Select when peak throughput >1.6 GB/s is required and thermal monitoring is handled externally |
| IS42S16160F-6BLI | 2Gb LPDDR2-667 (667 Mbps/pin), 1.2V core, 136-ball VFBGA, supports only basic self-refresh (no PASR or ZQ) | Cost-sensitive industrial control where power optimization is secondary to BOM simplicity | Choose for legacy designs needing drop-in replacement without firmware changes to MR register access |

FAQ
What is the operating voltage specification for W97BH2MBVA1I?
W97BH2MBVA1I operates at 1.2V for core and VDDQ supplies, and 1.8V for I/O (VDDQ). This dual-voltage architecture complies with JEDEC LPDDR2 standards and interfaces directly with mobile SoC I/O domains. The 1.2V core enables lower dynamic power versus DDR2/DDR3, while the 1.8V I/O ensures signal integrity on high-speed 800 Mbps/pin buses. All voltage tolerances are specified in the datasheet's Section 8.2.1.
Does W97BH2MBVA1I support partial array self-refresh (PASR)?
Yes, W97BH2MBVA1I supports PASR via Mode Registers MR16 (bank mask) and MR17 (segment mask), allowing selective refresh of active memory regions. This reduces self-refresh current by up to 50% compared to full-array refresh. Configuration is performed through standard MRW commands after initialization, and the feature is validated in the device's functional description section (7.4.18–7.4.19) of the datasheet.
What package type and dimensions does W97BH2MBVA1I use?
W97BH2MBVA1I uses a 136-ball Very Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA) package measuring 8mm × 12.5mm with 0.5mm ball pitch and maximum height of 0.8mm. This JEDEC-standard LPDDR2-S4B footprint matches common mobile SoC layouts and supports automated assembly with standard reflow profiles. Mechanical details are fully specified in Section 4 (Ball Assignment) and Section 5 (Ball Configuration) of the datasheet.
How is ZQ calibration implemented on W97BH2MBVA1I?
W97BH2MBVA1I performs ZQ calibration using an external 240Ω ±1% resistor connected to the ZQ pin. Calibration adjusts output driver impedance (RONPU/RONPD) and ODT values to maintain signal integrity across voltage/temperature variations. The process is initiated via MRW command to MR24 and supports short/long calibration cycles per Section 7.4.24. ZQ reset is available via MR63.
What is the minimum power-up sequence requirement for W97BH2MBVA1I?
W97BH2MBVA1I requires VDD/VDDQ to stabilize ≥200ns before CKE is driven high, followed by a minimum tRST of 200ns before issuing the first command. Power ramp must meet monotonicity and slew rate limits defined in Section 7.2.1. Failure to observe this sequence may result in initialization failure or undefined register states. These requirements are mandatory per JEDEC LPDDR2 specification and verified in Winbond's characterization.
