Product details
Overview
W97BH6MBVA1E from Winbond Electronics is a 2Gb LPDDR2-S4B mobile SDRAM in 136-ball VFBGA package, operating at 1066 Mbps data rate with 1.2V core and I/O supply, supporting burst lengths of 4/8 and CAS latencies of 3/5 for use in smartphone application processors and embedded multimedia SoCs.
For engineers reviewing the W97BH6MBVA1E datasheet, W97BH6MBVA1E pinout, W97BH6MBVA1E application, or W97BH6MBVA1E equivalent, key selection criteria include LPDDR2-1066 timing compliance, VFBGA-136 mechanical compatibility, partial array self-refresh (PASR) support, ZQ calibration capability, and MR10-based DQ calibration sequence.
Technical Context
This device implements JEDEC-standard LPDDR2-S4B interface with dual-channel 16-bit data bus (x16 organization), supports both single-ended CA/CS_n signaling and differential CK/DQS pairs, and uses mode register programming (MR0–MR63) to configure burst type, temperature compensation, PASR masking, and calibration patterns.
It features HSUL_12 I/O drivers with on-die termination calibrated via external 240Ω ZQ resistor, supports seamless burst reads/writes with tCCD = 2, and enables deep power-down (DPD) and partial array self-refresh to reduce system-level standby power in battery-constrained mobile platforms.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LPDDR2 memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT42L128M16D1KJ-107 IT | 1.2V LPDDR2-1066, 2Gb x16, 136-ball VFBGA, but uses different MR register map and lacks MR17 segment masking | Requires modified initialization firmware due to distinct mode register layout and no MR17 PASR segment control | Preferred when existing design already uses Micron LPDDR2 stack and ZQ calibration tolerance is ≥±5% |
| IS42S16160F-107BLI | 1.2V LPDDR2-1066, 2Gb x16, 136-ball VFBGA, supports identical MR0–MR63 addressing but omits temperature sensor (no MR4 reporting) | No thermal-aware refresh adaptation; requires fixed tRFC values across full temperature range | Selected where cost sensitivity outweighs thermal management needs and board layout allows same footprint |
Compared with W97BH6MBVA1E, MT42L128M16D1KJ-107 IT offers tighter tDQSCK skew control but lacks MR17 segment-level PASR, while IS42S16160F-107BLI provides identical timing and pinout yet omits on-die temperature sensing-making W97BH6MBVA1E optimal for thermally adaptive mobile SoC designs.

FAQ
What is the ball count and package type of W97BH6MBVA1E?
W97BH6MBVA1E uses a 136-ball Very Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA) package conforming to JEDEC MO-270CA, with dimensions of 12.0 mm × 10.0 mm × 0.8 mm and 0.5 mm ball pitch. This package is optimized for high-density mobile PCB layouts and supports automated reflow assembly with standard lead-free processes. The W97BH6MBVA1E pinout includes dedicated differential clock (CK_t/CK_c), strobe (DQS_t/DQS_c), and 16-bit data (DQ0–DQ15) terminals.
Does W97BH6MBVA1E support ZQ calibration, and how is it implemented?
Yes, W97BH6MBVA1E supports ZQ calibration through three defined modes: ZQINIT (full calibration at power-up), ZQSHORT (fast recalibration), and ZQLONG (high-accuracy recalibration). It requires an external 240Ω ±1% ZQ resistor connected to the ZQ pin. Calibration adjusts RONPU and RONPD driver resistances to maintain impedance match across voltage and temperature variations, directly improving signal integrity for W97BH6MBVA1E's HSUL_12 I/O interface at 1066 Mbps.
What is the maximum data rate and corresponding clock frequency for W97BH6MBVA1E?
W97BH6MBVA1E operates at a maximum data rate of 1066 Mbps per pin, corresponding to a differential clock frequency of 533 MHz (tCK = 0.938 ns). This is specified under LPDDR2-1066 conditions with VDD/VDDQ = 1.2V ±0.06V and operating temperature range of –25°C to +85°C. The W97BH6MBVA1E timing parameters-including tRCD, tRP, and tFAW-are defined relative to this clock period and must be met for reliable burst read/write operations.
How does W97BH6MBVA1E implement partial array self-refresh (PASR)?
W97BH6MBVA1E implements PASR via two dedicated mode registers: MR16 (PASR_Bank Mask) and MR17 (PASR_Segment Mask). These allow software to selectively disable refresh in unused banks or segments, reducing refresh current by up to 75% compared to full-array self-refresh. This feature is critical for W97BH6MBVA1E deployments in battery-powered devices where dynamic power optimization is required without compromising data retention integrity.
Is W97BH6MBVA1E compatible with LPDDR2-S4B interface specifications?
Yes, W97BH6MBVA1E fully complies with JEDEC LPDDR2-S4B specification (JESD209-2), supporting all mandatory commands, timing parameters, electrical characteristics, and mode register definitions required for S4B-class mobile SDRAM. Its ball assignment, command encoding (CA0–CA5), and differential signaling architecture align precisely with LPDDR2-S4B requirements-ensuring interoperability with certified LPDDR2 controllers in W97BH6MBVA1E-based designs.
