Product details
Overview
W97BH2MBVA2E from Winbond Electronics is a 2Gb LPDDR2-S4B mobile SDRAM in 136-ball VFBGA (8mm × 12.5mm, 0.5mm 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 high-speed mobile memory subsystems in smartphones and tablets.
For engineers reviewing the W97BH2MBVA2E datasheet, W97BH2MBVA2E pinout, W97BH2MBVA2E application, or W97BH2MBVA2E equivalent, this page delivers verified LPDDR2 timing parameters (tRCD = 3, tRP = 3, RL = 3/5), power modes (Deep Power-Down, Self-Refresh), mode register configuration (MR0–MR63), ZQ calibration support, and bank/segment masking capability critical for low-power mobile SoC integration.
Technical Context
This LPDDR2 device implements dual-channel 16-bit I/O architecture with differential CK_t/CK_c and DQS_t/DQS_c signaling, HSUL_12 driver output standard, and programmable burst lengths (BL = 4/8). It supports seamless read/write bursts, auto-precharge, and per-bank refresh to minimize latency in burst-intensive mobile workloads.
Power management includes three low-power states: Power-Down (CKE-controlled), Deep Power-Down (retains data with minimal current), and Self-Refresh (internal timer-driven refresh). Temperature-sensing and DQ calibration (via MR32/MR40) enable dynamic signal integrity tuning across voltage and thermal conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Gb (256M × 16-bit organization), enabling compact 256MB memory modules for space-constrained mobile PCBs. |
| Data Rate | 800 Mbps/pin (LPDDR2-800), supporting 1.6 GB/s aggregate bandwidth on 16-bit bus for HD video playback and UI rendering. |
| Supply Voltage | VDD/VDDQ = 1.2V ±0.06V, compatible with modern mobile SoC I/O rails and reducing dynamic power vs. 1.8V DDR2. |
| Timing Parameters | tRCD = tRP = 3 cycles, tRRD = 2 cycles, RL = 3/5, WL = 1 - defines minimum command-to-command latency for predictable memory controller scheduling. |
| Power Modes | Deep Power-Down (IDD6 ≤ 10 µA), Self-Refresh (IDD2P ≤ 30 µA), Power-Down (IDD4N ≤ 35 µA) - enables multi-level energy scaling in battery-powered devices. |
| Calibration Support | ZQ calibration (MRW to MR10), DQ output impedance tuning (RONPU/RONPD), and temperature sensor (MR4) - ensures signal integrity across process/voltage/temperature corners. |

Pinout & Package
W97BH2MBVA2E uses a 136-ball Very Thin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA) package with 0.5mm ball pitch, 8.0mm × 12.5mm body size, and JEDEC-standard ball assignment for LPDDR2-S4B interface compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CK_t / CK_c | Differential clock input | Provides edge-aligned timing reference for all commands and data transfers; requires matched trace length and 100Ω differential termination. |
| DQS_t / DQS_c | Differential strobe (bidirectional) | Source-synchronous capture of read data and write data; phase-aligned to DQ for timing margin optimization. |
| DQ[15:0] | 16-bit bidirectional data bus | Transfers burst data (BL=4/8); supports HSUL_12 signaling with on-die termination for reduced stub reflections. |
| CA[9:0] | 10-bit command/address bus | Carries row/column/bank address and command encoding (ACT, READ, WRITE, PRECHARGE, REFRESH); multiplexed with control signals. |
| CKE | Clock enable | Controls entry/exit from Power-Down and Self-Refresh; low = clock gated, high = active operation. |
| RESET_n | Asynchronous reset input | Forces device into known state (all banks precharged, mode registers reset); required before initialization sequence. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| LPDDR2-800 compliance | Meets JEDEC JESD209-2 specification for 800 Mbps/pin operation with defined AC timing, signaling, and power modes. |
