Product details
Overview
W988D2FBJX7E TR from Winbond is a 256Mb low-power synchronous DRAM (LPSDR) with x32 I/O width, 133MHz maximum clock frequency, 1.8V VDD/VDDQ supply, and 90-ball VFBGA package. It implements Partial Array Self Refresh (PASR), Automatic Temperature Compensated Self Refresh (ATCSR), and Deep Power Down Mode for battery-powered mobile applications including 3G/4G handsets and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the W988D2FBJX7E TR datasheet, W988D2FBJX7E TR pinout, W988D2FBJX7E TR application, or W988D2FBJX7E TR equivalent, key selection criteria include burst length programmability (1/2/4/8/full page), CAS latency options (CL=2 or CL=3), 4-bank architecture with BA0/BA1 addressing, and support for auto-precharge, power-down, and deep power-down modes in industrial temperature range (–25°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
This LPSDR operates fully synchronously with system clock edges, delivering data at up to 133MHz with tCK = 7.5ns. Its command decoder interprets RAS/CAS/WE combinations under CKE control to execute bank activate, precharge, read, write, MRS/EMRS, self-refresh entry/exit, and deep power-down entry/exit sequences.
The device uses multiplexed address pins (A0–A11 for row, A0–A8 for column in x32 mode), dual bank address lines (BA0, BA1), and four independent DQM signals (DQM0–DQM3) for per-byte write masking and output disable. Internal refresh counter and mode register enable dynamic configuration of burst length, CAS latency, and PASR settings.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
W988D2FBJX7E TR uses a 90-ball Very Thin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA) package with 0.5mm pitch, optimized for space-constrained mobile PCB layouts. Pin assignments follow JEDEC-standard LPSDR x32 ballout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLK | System Clock Input | Synchronizes all command, address, and data transfers on rising edge |
| CKE | Clock Enable | Controls entry/exit from power-down, self-refresh, and deep power-down modes |
| /CS | Chip Select | Enables command decoder; deassertion ignores new commands while preserving internal state |

| DQM0–DQM3 | Data Mask | Per-byte write mask and output disable control with zero-latency blocking in write cycles |
| VDD, VDDQ | Power Supplies | VDD powers core logic; VDDQ powers I/O buffers separately to reduce switching noise |
| VSS, VSSQ | GND Planes | VSS for core logic; VSSQ for I/O buffers - split grounds improve signal integrity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-power mobile SDRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| W988D2FBJX6E | Same 256Mb x32 LPSDR, but rated for 166MHz max clock (tCK = 6.0ns) and identical –25°C to +85°C temp range | Higher bandwidth requirement; suitable where system clock exceeds 133MHz | Select W988D2FBJX6E if design targets ≥140MHz memory bus speed; otherwise W988D2FBJX7E TR offers better power efficiency at 133MHz |
| MT46H256M32LF-6 IT:C | 256Mb x32 LPDDR1 from Micron; 1.8V, 166MHz, 90-ball VFBGA, but requires different command protocol and lacks PASR/DPD | LPDDR1 interface compatibility required; no native support for deep power down or partial array refresh | Choose MT46H256M32LF-6 IT:C only when migrating from existing LPDDR1 platform; W988D2FBJX7E TR provides superior low-power features for new designs |
Compared with W988D2FBJX6E, the W988D2FBJX7E TR trades 33MHz bandwidth for lower active and standby power; versus MT46H256M32LF-6 IT:C, it delivers deeper power-state control and simpler JEDEC SDR command compatibility at the cost of LPDDR1-specific optimizations.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the W988D2FBJX7E TR?
The W988D2FBJX7E TR supports a maximum clock frequency of 133MHz, corresponding to a clock period (tCK) of 7.5ns. This rating is validated across the full operating temperature range of –25°C to +85°C and under nominal 1.8V supply conditions. The device is not rated for 166MHz operation - that speed grade applies only to the W988D2FBJX6x variants.
Does the W988D2FBJX7E TR support Deep Power Down Mode, and what is its typical current draw?
Yes, the W988D2FBJX7E TR supports Deep Power Down Mode (DPD), entered via the DPD command with CKE low. In this state, typical standby current is ≤1μA at +25°C, enabling ultra-low-power retention for extended periods in battery-critical applications such as smartphone standby or digital camera sleep mode.
How many banks does the W988D2FBJX7E TR have, and how are they selected?
The W988D2FBJX7E TR contains four internal memory banks, selected using the BA0 and BA1 input pins. These bank address signals are sampled concurrently with /RAS, /CAS, and /WE to determine which bank executes activate, precharge, read, or write commands - enabling true interleaved access and improved effective bandwidth.
What burst lengths are supported by the W988D2FBJX7E TR, and how are they configured?
The W988D2FBJX7E TR supports burst lengths of 1, 2, 4, 8, and full-page, configured via the Burst Length field (A2–A0) in the Mode Register Set (MRS) command. Burst type is fixed as sequential; interleaved burst is not supported. Configuration occurs during initialization and remains static until reprogrammed.
Is the W988D2FBJX7E TR pin-compatible with other members of the W988D2FB family?
Yes, all W988D2FBJXxx variants share identical 90-ball VFBGA packaging and pinout, including W988D2FBJX6E, W988D2FBJX6I, W988D2FBJX7G, and W988D2FBJX7I. Differences are limited to speed grade (133MHz vs. 166MHz), temperature range (–25°C/+85°C vs. –40°C/+85°C), and power option flags - enabling drop-in replacement within same speed/temp bin.
