NT5CC256M16CP-DIB Overview
DDR3L (Double Data Rate 3 Low Voltage) SDRAM is a type of synchronous dynamic random-access memory that operates at a reduced voltage of 1.35V compared to standard DDR3's 1.5V, enabling lower power consumption in mobile and embedded systems. It is part of the DDR3 memory family, which uses double data rate signaling to transfer data on both edges of the clock, and is widely used in computing, networking, and industrial applications.
Key features include a 4Gb density, 16-bit I/O width, 96-ball TFBGA package (9x13mm, 0.8mm pitch), industrial temperature range (-40°C to +95°C), and RoHS compliance. The device supports programmable CAS latency of 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, and write latency of 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, with a refresh cycle count of 8192. It also features on-die termination (ODT) and dynamic ODT for improved signal integrity.
Technically, the NT5CC256M16CP-DIB uses a CMOS process and incorporates a differential clock input (CK, CK#) for precise timing. The device supports auto-refresh and self-refresh modes, with a reduced standby current for power saving. The 1.35V operation is backward compatible with 1.5V DDR3 parts, allowing flexible system design.
Typical applications include industrial embedded systems, networking equipment, and automotive infotainment, where high-density, low-power memory is required. The industrial temperature grade ensures reliable operation in harsh environments.
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 stable 1.35V supply and a reference voltage (VREF) for the I/O.

Key Differentiators
- Industrial temperature grade (vs NT5CC256M16CP-DI)
- Low voltage operation (vs MT41K256M16HA-125)
- High data rate (vs NT5CC256M16DP-DI)
Design Notes
Place 0.1uF decoupling capacitors close to each VDD and VDDQ pin, and a 10uF bulk capacitor near the power entry. Ensure the VREF decoupling capacitor is placed as close as possible to the VREF pin. Follow the layout guidelines in the Nanya datasheet to minimize signal integrity issues.
The industrial temperature grade allows operation up to +95°C, but ensure adequate airflow or heatsinking in high-power systems. The TFBGA-96 package has a thermal resistance that should be considered; use thermal vias under the package to improve heat dissipation.
For high-speed DDR3L signals, maintain controlled impedance of 40-50 ohms for data lines and 40 ohms for address/command lines. Use series termination resistors (22-33 ohms) near the driver to reduce reflections. Keep trace lengths matched within 100 mils for each byte lane.
Compliance Information
RoHS compliant and halogen-free per datasheet. Not AEC-Q100 qualified; use -DII for automotive.
