Product details
Overview
W9825G6KH-6I from Winbond is a 4M × 4 banks × 16-bit synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) operating at 166 MHz with CAS latency 3, 3.3V supply, TSOP II-54 package, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It delivers up to 166 million words/second bandwidth and supports burst lengths of 1, 2, 4, 8, or full page for high-throughput memory buffering in embedded controllers and legacy PC systems.
For engineers reviewing the W9825G6KH-6I datasheet, W9825G6KH-6I pinout, W9825G6KH-6I application, or W9825G6KH-6I equivalent, key selection criteria include its 166 MHz / CL3 timing compliance, TSOP II-54 mechanical footprint, self-refresh current limit of 2 mA, LVTTL interface compatibility, and support for auto-precharge and interleaved bank access in memory subsystems requiring deterministic latency and low-power retention.
Technical Context
This SDRAM implements four independent 1M-word banks with shared address/command bus and multiplexed row/column addressing. Internal refresh counter and mode register control enable programmable burst type (sequential/interleaved), CAS latency (2 or 3), and precharge behavior - critical for optimizing throughput in burst-oriented data paths.
It uses standard LVTTL signaling with separate VDDQ/VSSQ rails for I/O noise immunity, supports clock suspend and power-down modes for dynamic power management, and requires strict tRCD ≥ 20 ns, tRP ≥ 20 ns, and tRC ≥ 60 ns timing margins during bank activation and precharge cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 4,194,304 words × 4 banks × 16 bits = 128 Mbit total capacity |
| Max Clock Frequency | 166 MHz - defines maximum command rate and data transfer bandwidth |
| CAS Latency | CL = 3 - fixed 3-clock delay from column command to first valid DQ output |
| Burst Length | 1, 2, 4, 8, or full page - determines consecutive column accesses per command |
| Operating Voltage | 3.3 V ± 0.3 V - requires stable LVTTL-compatible supply with separate VDDQ rail |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments without derating |
| Refresh Requirement | 8K cycles / 64 ms - mandates periodic CBR refresh to retain data |
| Self-Refresh Current | 2 mA max - sets minimum power budget for battery-backed retention mode |
Pinout & Package
TSOP II-54 package, 400 mil width, 0.80 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Input | Multiplexed row/column address lines; A10 controls all-bank vs. bank-select precharge |
| BS0, BS1 | Bank Select | Encode active bank (0–3) during row activation or column access |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional data bus with LDQM/UDQM masking per byte lane |
| CS, RAS, CAS, WE | Command Control | Four active-low signals defining all operations via truth table on CLK rising edge |
| CLK, CKE | Clock Interface | CLK synchronizes all inputs; CKE gates internal clock and enables power-down/self-refresh entry |
| LDQM, UDQM | I/O Mask | Byte-level write mask and read output disable with zero-latency assertion |
| VDD, VSS | Core Power/Ground | 3.3 V supply and return for logic circuitry and input buffers |
| VDDQ, VSSQ | I/O Power/Ground | Isolated 3.3 V rail and ground for DQ drivers/receivers to reduce switching noise |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 40 is unconnected - must be left floating or tied to VSS per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Mode Register | Enables runtime configuration of burst length, CAS latency, and burst type - eliminates hard-coded timing constraints in controller firmware |
| Interleaved Bank Access | Allows back-to-back reads/writes across banks (e.g., Bank 0 read → Bank 1 activate) to hide tRCD and tRP delays and sustain >90% bus utilization |
| Auto-Precharge | Automatically initiates bank precharge after burst completion when A10=HIGH - reduces software overhead and prevents accidental open-row conflicts |
| Low-Power Modes | Power-down (CKE low) and self-refresh (CKE+RAS+CAS+WE low) cut active current by >80%, enabling standby operation with <2 mA draw |
| LVTTL-Compatible I/O | Supports direct interface with legacy microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting - simplifies PCB routing and reduces BOM count |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SDRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS42S16400J-6BLI | Same 4M×4×16 organization, 166 MHz/CL3, TSOP II-54, but with 3.3 V ± 0.15 V tighter tolerance and 1.8 V VDDQ option | Requires stricter voltage regulation; supports dual-voltage I/O for mixed-signal SoC interfaces | Select if system already uses IS42S16400J-6BLI and needs identical timing margins and layout reuse |
| MT48LC4M16A2P-6A:J | Identical speed grade and pinout, but Micron's version specifies tRC = 60 ns (vs. Winbond's 65 ns) and lower IDD2 active current (120 mA vs. 135 mA) | Better suited for thermally constrained enclosures where power density matters more than absolute timing margin | Choose when thermal design limits exceed 135 mA peak draw or when sourcing from Micron-dedicated supply chains |
Compared with W9825G6KH-6I, IS42S16400J-6BLI offers tighter voltage specs and optional VDDQ scaling, while MT48LC4M16A2P-6A:J provides lower active current and slightly tighter tRC - both require validation of board-level signal integrity due to minor AC parameter variances despite identical pinout and function.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and CAS latency supported by W9825G6KH-6I?
W9825G6KH-6I is rated for 166 MHz clock frequency with CAS latency 3 (CL3) at –40°C to +85°C. It also supports 133 MHz / CL2 operation, but CL3 is the guaranteed timing mode for its -6I speed grade. The device does not support CL2 at 166 MHz - that combination is only specified for -5/-5I grades. All timing parameters in the datasheet assume CL3 operation unless explicitly noted otherwise for alternate modes.
Does W9825G6KH-6I support self-refresh mode, and what is its maximum current draw in that state?
Yes, W9825G6KH-6I supports self-refresh mode with a maximum IDD6 current of 2 mA at –40°C ≤ TA ≤ +85°C. This value is specified in the Order Information table and confirmed in Section 2 Features. Self-refresh is disabled above +85°C per datasheet note, so it must not be used in high-temperature industrial applications exceeding that limit. The 2 mA figure represents worst-case draw under full retention conditions and is critical for battery-backed backup design.
What package type and pin count does W9825G6KH-6I use, and is it RoHS compliant?
W9825G6KH-6I uses a TSOP II-54 package, 400 mil width, 0.80 mm pitch, with lead-free materials and full RoHS compliance as stated in Section 2 Features. Pin 40 is NC (no connect) and must remain unconnected. The package matches JEDEC MO-143AC mechanical standards, ensuring compatibility with standard SMT reflow profiles and pick-and-place tooling used for legacy memory components.
Can W9825G6KH-6I be used interchangeably with W9825G6KH-6 in a design?
W9825G6KH-6I and W9825G6KH-6 share identical electrical specifications and pinout, but differ in temperature qualification: W9825G6KH-6I operates from –40°C to +85°C, while W9825G6KH-6 is rated only from 0°C to +70°C. Substituting W9825G6KH-6I for W9825G6KH-6 is safe and improves thermal margin; substituting the reverse risks functional failure below 0°C or above 70°C. No PCB or firmware changes are needed for the swap.
What are the key timing parameters required to initialize W9825G6KH-6I after power-up?
Initialization of W9825G6KH-6I requires: (1) 200 µs stabilization delay after VDD/VDDQ reach 3.3 V, (2) precharge-all command, (3) mode register set command (with valid burst/CAS settings), and (4) eight auto-refresh cycles before normal operation. These steps are mandatory per Section 7.1 and ensure reliable memory state. Skipping any step - especially the eight CBR refreshes - may cause data corruption or command lockup during early operation.
