NT5CC256M16CN-FLH Overview
DDR3L SDRAM is a type of dynamic random access memory that operates at a lower voltage (1.35V) compared to standard DDR3 (1.5V), reducing power consumption by approximately 20% while maintaining high bandwidth. It is part of the DDR3 memory family, which uses an 8n-prefetch architecture to achieve high data rates. DDR3L is widely used in computing, networking, and embedded systems where power efficiency is critical.
Key features include a 16-bit I/O interface, 8 internal banks, burst lengths of 8 and 4 (with burst chop), on-die termination (ODT), and programmable CAS latency. The device supports auto self-refresh, auto precharge, and write leveling for signal integrity. It also includes a ZQ calibration function for improved timing accuracy.
The NT5CC256M16CN-FLH is built on Nanya's advanced DRAM process technology, ensuring high reliability and performance. It supports a temperature range of 0°C to +95°C (TC) for commercial and industrial grades, with automotive grade options available. The device is RoHS compliant and lead-free.
Typical applications include DDR3L memory modules for laptops, servers, networking equipment, industrial PCs, and automotive infotainment systems. Its low voltage and high density make it ideal for power-sensitive designs.
When designing with this device, ensure proper decoupling capacitors near the power pins and follow the layout guidelines in the datasheet to minimize signal integrity issues. The device requires a 1.35V supply and a separate VDDQ for the I/O, which should be regulated accurately.

Key Differentiators
- Low voltage operation (1.35V) reduces power consumption by 20% compared to standard DDR3 (vs MT41K256M16HA-125)
- Wide temperature range for industrial and automotive applications (vs K4B4G1646E-BYMA)
- High data rate of 1866 Mbps for high-bandwidth applications (vs IS43TR16512B-125KBLI)
Design Notes
Ensure a stable 1.35V supply with low ripple for VDD and VDDQ. Use a dedicated voltage regulator with adequate decoupling capacitors (e.g., 0.1uF and 10uF) placed close to the power pins. The device requires VDD and VDDQ to be within 1.283V to 1.45V. Proper power sequencing is essential: VDD and VDDQ should ramp up simultaneously, and VDDQ must not exceed VDD.
Follow the layout guidelines in the Nanya datasheet for DDR3L routing. Maintain controlled impedance (typically 50 ohms single-ended, 100 ohms differential) for DQ, DQS, and clock signals. Keep trace lengths matched within 0.5mm for data and address buses. Place termination resistors for ODT as recommended. Use a solid ground plane and minimize vias to reduce signal integrity issues.
The NT5CC256M16CN-FLH has a maximum operating temperature of +95°C (TC). Ensure adequate airflow or heatsinking in high-temperature environments. The FBGA package has a thermal resistance that should be considered; refer to the datasheet for theta_JA values. For automotive applications, derate the operating temperature as specified in the datasheet when operating above 95°C.
