TN-46-16: 512Mb Mobile DDR: 95nm to 78nm
Introduction
Technical Note
512Mb Mobile DDR: 95nm to 78nm Product Transition Guide
Introduction
This document describes critical product differences associated with the 512Mb Mobile
(LP) DDR SDRAM product as it transitions from 95nm process technology to 78nm
process technology. Micron makes every effort to ensure that new replacement products
have full functional compatibility with previous products. This is accomplished through
design, ATE characterization, and target system validation when possible. It is therefore
unlikely that a system that has been designed with a Micron LP DDR SDRAM product
will have any problems with a Micron replacement product. Micron does recommend,
however, that the target system design be fully evaluated with the final version of the
new product prior to conversion.
Part Number Transition
Examples of replacement part numbers are shown in Table 1. These numbers are
reflected in the data sheet for the replacement product.

Status Read Register for 78nm Product
The status read register (SRR) has been added to the 78nm product. It is used to read the
manufacturer ID, revision ID, refresh multiplier, width, type, and density of the Mobile
SDRAM, as shown in Figure 1 on page 2. The information made available from this read-
only register can assist the component package manufacturer. It can also be useful for
product operation in the target application. The SRR is read via the LOAD MODE
REGISTER command with BA0 = 1 and BA1 = 0. Consult the 78nm product data sheet for
a full description of the SRR operation.

Revision ID
The manufacturer’s revision number starts at
“0000”
and increments
by “0001”
each time a
change
in the
specification (AC timings or feature set), IBIS (pull-
up or pull-down
characteristics),
or process occurs.
AC Timing and DC Specification Differences
The 78nm product supports the same speed grades as the 95nm product and will meet
or exceed all timing parameters. The 78nm product also meets or exceeds all JEDEC-
standard LP DDR I/O level parameters as does the 95nm product.
Some DC specifications may vary between the 95nm and 78nm products. Consult the
product data sheets for specific values.

Package Differences
Package Differences
The 95nm, x16 and x32 products use SAC305 package solder ball composition, as shown
in Figure 2.
Both the x16 (60-ball) and the x32 (90-ball) packages for the 78nm product use SAC105
solder ball composition. This aligns with the industry trend toward SAC105 composition
for enhanced drop test performance. The surface mount conditions for SAC105 are the
same as for SAC305.
In addition, the 78nm, x16 product offers a smaller, 8mm x 9mm package outline to
conserve application board space, as shown in Figure 3 on page 4. The ball assignments
for both 78nm packages are JEDEC compliant.

Die Bond Pad Order Changes
The 78nm, JEDEC-standard bond pad order is noticeably different from the 95nm bond
pad order. An example of the differences for the x16 double-sided configuration is
shown in Table 2 on page 5.
The JEDEC pad ordering guidelines do not specify exact placement requirements.
Therefore, they do not guarantee bonding compatibility among vendors. Compatibility
can be verified by direct comparison of die data sheet bond pad information.
