W956D6KBKX7I

Winbond Electronics
PSRAM (Pseudo SRAM) Memory IC 64Mbit Parallel 133 MHz 70 ns 49-WFBGA (4x4)

Overview

The W956D6KBKX7I is a 64Mbit Pseudo SRAM (PSRAM) that combines the density of DRAM with the simple interface of SRAM. Operating at 1.8V with a 133 MHz clock frequency, it utilizes a 16-bit multiplexed address and data bus to minimize pin count in space-constrained designs. This memory is specifically engineered for low-power portable applications requiring high-density volatile storage.

Why Choose This Part

The component features On-chip Temperature Compensated Refresh (TCR) and Partial Array Refresh (PAR) to optimize power consumption based on operating conditions. It offers a high-speed 133 MHz burst mode for fast data access while maintaining a tiny 49-ball WFBGA footprint. The Deep Power-Down (DPD) mode further reduces current draw during extended idle periods, extending battery life in mobile systems.

Applications

IoT Edge Gateways
Provides high-density buffer space for data aggregation and networking stacks in compact, battery-powered IoT devices.
Wearable Electronics
The 4x4mm WFBGA package and low 250 uA standby current make it ideal for smartwatches and health monitoring peripherals.
Embedded Vision Systems
Functions as a frame buffer for low-resolution image sensors in edge AI and camera-imaging applications.
Portable Medical Devices
Offers reliable temporary storage for high-frequency sensor logging in handheld diagnostic equipment.

Getting Started

To integrate this PSRAM, ensure your microcontroller or FPGA supports an ADMux (Address-Data Multiplexed) parallel interface. Use a high-quality 1.8V regulator as the device operates within a tight 1.7V to 1.95V range. Designers should pay close attention to the 0.5mm ball pitch during PCB layout and implement proper decoupling near the VDD pins to support 133 MHz switching speeds.
