Product details
Overview
W97BH2MBVA2I from Winbond 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 low-noise mobile memory subsystems in smartphones and tablets.
For engineers reviewing the W97BH2MBVA2I datasheet, W97BH2MBVA2I pinout, W97BH2MBVA2I application, or W97BH2MBVA2I equivalent, this page delivers verified LPDDR2 timing parameters (tRCD = 3, tRP = 3, RL = 3/5), bank architecture (4 banks), power modes (Deep Power-Down, Self-Refresh), and ball-mapped I/O roles critical for memory controller interface design and layout validation.
Technical Context
This device implements JEDEC-standard LPDDR2-S4B protocol with dual-channel 16-bit data bus, 128Mb × 16 organization, and support for burst lengths of 4 and 8. It uses HSUL_12 I/O standard with differential CK/DQS and single-ended CA/CS_n signaling.
It features programmable mode registers (MR0–MR63) for configuration of burst type, temperature compensation, PASR masking, ZQ calibration, and DQ timing calibration. Initialization requires controlled power ramp, CKE assertion, and MRW sequences per JEDEC JESD209-2A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Gb (128Mb × 16), enabling compact 256MB memory modules in space-constrained mobile PCBs. |
| Data Rate | 800 Mbps/pin (LPDDR2-800), delivering 1.6 GB/s peak bandwidth over 16-bit bus for application processor memory bandwidth requirements. |
| Supply Voltage | VDD/VDDQ = 1.2V ±0.06V, compatible with modern SoC I/O domains and requiring tight regulation for signal integrity. |
| Timing (tRCD/tRP) | tRCD = tRP = 3 cycles @ 400 MHz clock, defining minimum row activation-to-read/write and precharge delays for controller timing budgeting. |
| Burst Length | Configurable BL = 4 or 8, supporting efficient cache-line transfers (64-byte or 128-byte) aligned with ARM Cortex-A CPU L1/L2 cache line sizes. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +95°C (Industrial grade), qualified for sustained operation in thermally demanding handheld enclosures without derating. |
| Power Modes | Supports Deep Power-Down (IDD6 ≤ 10 µA), Self-Refresh (IDD2P ≤ 35 µA), and Partial Array Self-Refresh (PASR), reducing system standby power by >90% vs active mode. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 136-ball Very Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA), 8.0 mm × 12.5 mm, 0.5 mm ball pitch, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O (bidirectional) | 16-bit data bus using HSUL_12 driver; each pair supports DQS-strobed read/write with tDQSCKmin/tDQSCKmax alignment for setup/hold compliance. |
| DQS0/DQS1 | Differential data strobe (read/write) | Source-synchronous strobes for DQ0–7 and DQ8–15; require matched trace length to DQ and controlled differential impedance (≈100 Ω). |
| CK_t / CK_c | Differential clock input | System reference clock (up to 400 MHz); used for all command latching and timing generation; requires AC-coupling and 100 Ω diff termination. |
| CA0–CA11 | Command/address bus (single-ended) | 12-bit multiplexed address/command bus; sampled on CK rising edge; includes bank address (BA0–BA1), row/column bits, and mode register access. |
| CS_n | Chip select (active-low) | Enables command decoding; must be stable for tIS/TH before/after CK edge; supports multi-bank command arbitration in multi-chip configurations. |
| CKE | Clock enable (active-high) | Controls entry/exit from Power-Down and Self-Refresh; low during deep sleep; high during active and precharge states. |
| RESET_n | Asynchronous reset (active-low) | Forces device into known state; requires ≥100 ns pulse width; used during cold boot or recovery after brown-out conditions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ZQ Calibration | On-die impedance tuning via external 240Ω ±1% RZQ resistor enables precise RONPU/RONPD matching to PCB trace impedance, reducing signal reflections and improving eye margin. |
| Temperature Sensor | Integrated sensor feeds MR4_Device Temperature register, allowing dynamic refresh rate adjustment (tREFI scaling) to maintain data retention across -40°C to +95°C without external components. |
| PASR (Bank/Segment) | Partial Array Self-Refresh allows selective bank or segment retention during low-power states, cutting IDD2P current by up to 50% versus full-array self-refresh in background tasks. |
| Mode Register Read (MRR) | Allows runtime verification of MR0–MR9 settings (e.g., burst length, drive strength, ODT) without halting memory operation-critical for debug and field validation. |
| Deep Power-Down Exit Time | tDPD = 500 µs max, enabling rapid wake-up from ultra-low-power state while maintaining <10 µA quiescent current-ideal for always-on sensor hubs and modem subsystems. |

|---|---|---|---|
| MT42L128M16D1KJ-107 WT:A | Same 2Gb density, 136-ball VFBGA, LPDDR2-800, but uses 1.2V only (no 1.35V option); tRCD/tRP = 3 cycles; identical burst and PASR support. | Qualified for automotive (AEC-Q100 Grade 2); wider industrial temp range (-40°C to +105°C); same pinout but different ball assignment for VSS/VDDQ distribution. | Select for automotive programs requiring AEC-Q100 qualification and extended high-temp margin beyond W97BH2MBVA2I's +95°C limit. |
| K4P2G324EC-AC25 | 2Gb LPDDR2-1066 (1066 Mbps/pin), 136-ball VFBGA; higher speed grade; tRCD/tRP = 4 cycles; supports RL=4/6; no integrated temperature sensor. | Targets performance-critical applications needing >2 GB/s bandwidth; lacks MR4-based thermal refresh scaling; requires external thermal management for >85°C operation. | Select when bandwidth >1.6 GB/s is mandatory and thermal environment is controlled; avoid if temperature-adaptive refresh is required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by W97BH2MBVA2I?
The W97BH2MBVA2I supports LPDDR2-800 operation, delivering 800 Mbps per data pin. This corresponds to a 400 MHz differential clock frequency and yields 1.6 GB/s peak bandwidth across its 16-bit bus. The device does not support LPDDR2-1066; attempting higher frequencies violates timing specifications and risks data corruption.
Does W97BH2MBVA2I include an integrated temperature sensor?
Yes, the W97BH2MBVA2I includes an on-die temperature sensor accessible via Mode Register MR4 (MA[7:0] = 04H). This sensor enables automatic refresh interval adjustment (tREFI scaling) across its -40°C to +95°C operating range, eliminating the need for external thermal monitoring circuitry in most implementations.
What package type and ball count does W97BH2MBVA2I use?
The W97BH2MBVA2I uses a 136-ball Very Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA) package measuring 8.0 mm × 12.5 mm with 0.5 mm ball pitch. Its ball assignment follows JEDEC MO-245AA, and the 'VA2I' suffix denotes Industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +95°C) and lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction.
Can W97BH2MBVA2I operate in Deep Power-Down mode, and what is its exit time?
Yes, the W97BH2MBVA2I supports Deep Power-Down mode (IDD6), achieving ≤10 µA typical current draw. Its maximum exit time from Deep Power-Down to active operation is 500 µs, as specified in the datasheet under tDPD parameter-enabling fast wake-up for responsive user interfaces in mobile devices.
What is the purpose of ZQ calibration in W97BH2MBVA2I?
ZQ calibration in the W97BH2MBVA2I adjusts internal output driver impedance (RONPU/RONPD) using an external 240Ω ±1% precision resistor (RZQ) to match PCB trace impedance. This ensures signal integrity for DQ/DQS/CK signals, minimizes reflections, and maintains timing margins-especially critical at 800 Mbps data rates.
