Product details
Overview
W9816G6IH-6I from Winbond is a 512K × 2 banks × 16-bit synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) operating at 166 MHz with CAS Latency 3, 3.3V ±0.3V supply, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), used as main memory in embedded controllers and legacy communication baseband subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the W9816G6IH-6I datasheet, W9816G6IH-6I pinout, W9816G6IH-6I application, or W9816G6IH-6I equivalent, key selection criteria include burst length configurability (1/2/4/8/full page), dual-bank interleaving support, LVTTL interface compatibility, and self-refresh current ≤2 mA under industrial conditions.
Technical Context
This SDRAM implements fully synchronous operation latched on the rising edge of CLK, with programmable Mode Register controlling burst type (sequential/interleave), burst length, and CAS latency. It supports auto-precharge and controlled precharge, enabling efficient bank interleaving to hide tRCD and tRP delays.
Functional modes include Power Down (CKE-driven), Self Refresh (CS/RAS/CAS/WE low, CKE low), Clock Suspend (CKE low during active bank), and Burst Stop (for full-page bursts only). All banks must be precharged before Mode Register Set, and eight Auto Refresh cycles are required post-initialization.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 524,288 words × 2 banks × 16 bits = 16 Mbit total capacity |
| Max Clock Frequency | 166 MHz - defines maximum sustained data throughput of 332 MB/s (166M × 2 bytes) |
| CAS Latency | CL = 3 - fixed read access latency of 3 clock cycles after column address strobe |
| Burst Length | Programmable 1, 2, 4, 8, or full page - determines consecutive data words per read/write command |
| Refresh Requirement | 4,096 cycles / 64 ms - mandates refresh every 15.625 µs per row for data retention |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ± 0.3 V - requires stable LVTTL-compatible power rail; VCCQ separated for I/O noise immunity |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments without derating |
| Self-Refresh Current | ≤2 mA - enables low-power retention mode during system sleep states |
Pinout & Package

| RAS, CAS, WE | Command Strobes | Combined with CS and clock edge to decode ACTIVATE, READ, WRITE, PRECHARGE, etc. |
| CLK | System Clock | Rising-edge-synchronized timing reference for all command and data transfers |
| CKE | Clock Enable | Controls entry/exit of Power Down, Clock Suspend, and Self Refresh modes |
| LDQM/UDQM | I/O Mask | Low/high byte mask: high = tri-state output or block write input with zero latency |
| VCC / VSS | Core Power/Ground | 3.3V supply and return for logic and input buffers |
| VCCQ / VSSQ | I/O Power/Ground | Separated 3.3V supply and return dedicated to DQ drivers for noise isolation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Burst Mode | Configurable sequential or interleave addressing per Mode Register, enabling optimized access patterns for streaming vs. random workloads |
| Dual-Bank Interleaving | Enables back-to-back reads/writes across banks (e.g., Bank 0 read while Bank 1 precharges), hiding tRP and improving effective bandwidth |
| Auto-Precharge Support | A10-high during READ/WRITE triggers automatic bank precharge after burst completion, reducing software overhead and command scheduling complexity |
| LVTTL-Compatible Interface | Direct connection to 3.3V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting; meets JEDEC JESD8-15A electrical specs |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Guaranteed functionality from –40°C to +85°C with no performance degradation, validated per JESD22-A108 |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SDRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS42S16100E-6BLI | Same 512K×2×16 organization, 166 MHz, CL3, TSOP-54; higher self-refresh current (3.5 mA) and wider VCC range (2.5–3.6 V) | Validated for extended-temperature FPGA interfaces; lacks explicit industrial temp documentation for -40°C startup | Select if broader voltage tolerance or FPGA vendor reference design alignment is prioritized over minimal self-refresh current |
| MT48LC16M16A2P-6A:G | 16M×16-bit (256Mbit), 166 MHz, CL3, TSOP-54; requires PCB redesign due to larger density and different pinout (e.g., A11 present) | Used in newer infotainment platforms needing higher memory capacity; not pin-compatible with W9816G6IH-6I | Choose only when board revision permits footprint change and firmware supports extended row/column addressing |
Compared with IS42S16100E-6BLI and MT48LC16M16A2P-6A:G, W9816G6IH-6I offers the lowest self-refresh current (≤2 mA) and guaranteed –40°C cold-start behavior in a legacy 50-pin TSOP-II form factor, making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained industrial replacements where capacity and pinout must remain unchanged.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and CAS latency supported by W9816G6IH-6I?
W9816G6IH-6I is rated for 166 MHz operation with CAS Latency 3. This means the device guarantees read data valid 3 clock cycles after the column address is latched. The -6I suffix explicitly denotes industrial temperature qualification (–40°C to +85°C) at this speed/latency combination, and no higher-frequency binning (e.g., -5 grade) is available for this part number.
Does W9816G6IH-6I support both sequential and interleaved burst addressing modes?
Yes, W9816G6IH-6I supports both sequential and interleaved burst addressing, configured via the Mode Register. Sequential mode increments column addresses linearly (e.g., n, n+1, n+2); interleaved mode toggles lower address bits (A0–A2 depending on burst length) to optimize cache-line access patterns. This flexibility is confirmed in Section 7.5 and Table 2–3 of the official datasheet.
What is the purpose of the separate VCCQ and VSSQ pins on W9816G6IH-6I?
VCCQ and VSSQ provide dedicated power and ground for the DQ input/output buffers only, electrically isolating them from the core logic supply (VCC/VSS). This separation reduces switching noise coupling from data bus activity into sensitive internal circuitry, improving signal integrity and timing margin-especially critical in high-speed, multi-layer PCB designs with shared power planes.
Can W9816G6IH-6I enter self-refresh mode, and what is the maximum current draw in that state?
Yes, W9816G6IH-6I supports Self Refresh mode entered via CS/RAS/CAS/WE low and CKE low at the clock edge. In this state, the device maintains data without external refresh commands and draws ≤2 mA, as specified in the "AVAILABLE PART NUMBER" table and Section 2 FEATURES. This enables ultra-low-power retention during system suspend cycles.
Is W9816G6IH-6I pin-compatible with other speed grades in the same family, such as W9816G6IH-6 or W9816G6IH-6A?
Yes, W9816G6IH-6I is pin-compatible and functionally identical to W9816G6IH-6 and W9816G6IH-6A in terms of pinout, command set, timing parameters, and electrical interface. The sole differences are temperature qualification (–40°C to +85°C for -6I/-6A vs. 0°C to +70°C for -6) and automotive stress screening for -6A; no PCB or firmware changes are required for substitution among these variants.
