Key Differentiators

  • Low-voltage operation at 1.35V (vs Standard DDR3 parts at 1.5V)
  • Wide temperature range up to +95Β°C (vs Some competitors limited to +85Β°C)
  • High density 4Gb in 256Mx16 (vs Lower density parts like 2Gb)

Design Notes

For high-speed DDR3L signals, maintain controlled impedance of 40-60 ohms for data lines and 50-60 ohms for address/control lines. Keep trace lengths matched within 100 mils for each byte lane. Use ground planes beneath the memory area to reduce noise and ensure signal integrity.

Decouple the VDD and VDDQ pins with 0.1uF and 1uF ceramic capacitors placed as close as possible to the pins. Use a 10uF bulk capacitor on the power rail. The 1.35V supply must be stable and low-noise; consider a dedicated LDO or DC-DC converter with adequate load transient response.

The NT5CC256M16ER-EK operates up to +95Β°C. Ensure adequate airflow or heatsinking in high-temperature environments. The TFBGA-96 package has a thermal resistance that should be considered; refer to the datasheet for theta_JA values. For industrial applications, consider the -EKI variant with wider temperature range.
