Product details
Overview
W97BH6MBVA2E 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/VDDQ supply and 15ns tRCD/tRP timing. It supports burst lengths of 4/8, partial array self-refresh (PASR), and ZQ calibration for impedance matching-deployed in smartphone application processors and tablet SoC memory subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the W97BH6MBVA2E datasheet, W97BH6MBVA2E pinout, W97BH6MBVA2E application, or W97BH6MBVA2E equivalent, key selection criteria include LPDDR2-1066 compliance, 136-ball VFBGA footprint compatibility, PASR bank/segment masking capability, and support for seamless read/write bursts with tCCD = 2 cycles.
Technical Context
This device implements the JEDEC LPDDR2 standard (JESD209-2) with dual-channel 16-bit I/O architecture, supporting both single-ended CA/CS_n signaling and differential CK/DQS pairs. Its mode register set (MR0–MR63) enables runtime configuration of burst type, read/write latency (RL=3/5, WL=1), temperature-sensing, and DQ calibration patterns (MR32/MR40).
Power management includes three low-power states: Power-down (CKE-controlled), Deep Power-down (retains no state), and Self-refresh (all-bank or PASR). Initialization requires strict tRAMP ≥ 200μs, followed by MRW commands to configure MR5–MR8 for basic operation and MR10 for ZQ calibration.

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 2Gb LPDDR2, 1066 Mbps, 134-ball VFBGA (slightly different ball map) | Same JEDEC LPDDR2-1066 compliance but requires PCB layout review for CA/DQ routing alignment | Select when sourcing from Micron-authorized channels; verify MR register mapping matches Winbond's MR0–MR63 implementation |
| K4P2G324EC-BCF7 | 2Gb LPDDR2-1066, 1.2V, 136-ball VFBGA, Samsung-specific MR layout and ZQ behavior | Identical mechanical footprint but divergent initialization sequence (e.g., MR10 ZQ timing differs by ±2 cycles) | Prefer for Samsung SoC platforms; cross-compatibility requires validation of PASR segment mask behavior and tFAW timing |
Compared with W97BH6MBVA2E, MT42L128M16D1KJ-107 IT offers identical electrical specs but demands ball-level routing verification, while K4P2G324EC-BCF7 shares the same package yet requires SoC firmware adaptation for mode register initialization and ZQ calibration flow.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the W97BH6MBVA2E?
The W97BH6MBVA2E supports a maximum data rate of 1066 Mbps (LPDDR2-1066), corresponding to a 533 MHz clock frequency. This is confirmed in the device's AC timing specifications (tCK = 1.875 ns) and validated across commercial temperature range (0°C to +85°C). The W97BH6MBVA2E achieves this rate using HSUL_12 I/O signaling with differential CK/DQS and calibrated output drivers.
Does the W97BH6MBVA2E support partial array self-refresh (PASR)?
Yes, the W97BH6MBVA2E fully supports PASR via mode registers MR16 (bank masking) and MR17 (segment masking). This feature allows selective refresh of active memory regions only, reducing current consumption during idle periods. PASR behavior is defined in section 7.4.18–7.4.19 of the official datasheet and is functionally identical across the W97BH6MB/W97BH2MB family.
What package type and ball count does the W97BH6MBVA2E use?
The W97BH6MBVA2E uses a 136-ball Very Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA) package with 0.4 mm ball pitch and 8 mm × 11.5 mm body dimensions. Ball assignment follows JEDEC LPDDR2-S4B standard layout, verified in Section 4 (Ball Assignment) and Section 5 (Ball Configuration) of the datasheet revision A01-002.
How is ZQ calibration implemented on the W97BH6MBVA2E?
ZQ calibration on the W97BH6MBVA2E is performed using an external 240Ω ±1% precision resistor connected to the ZQ pin. Calibration is initiated via MRW command to MR10 and adjusts RONPU/RONPD driver impedances to maintain 40Ω output resistance. Full calibration sequences (long/short/reset) are detailed in Section 7.4.24 of the datasheet.
What is the operating temperature range for the W97BH6MBVA2E?
The W97BH6MBVA2E is specified for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +85°C ambient, as stated in Section 8.2.3 (Operating Temperature Conditions) of the datasheet. It includes an integrated temperature sensor (accessed via MR4) to support dynamic thermal management, but extended temperature grades (e.g., industrial −40°C to +85°C) are not supported by this specific variant.
