family. The devices are either 128 Mbits or 256 Mbits and operate with 3 V voltage supply.  
The size of a page is either 528 bytes (512 + 16 spare) or 264 words (256 + 8 spare)  
depending on whether the device has a x8 or x16 bus width.  
The address lines are multiplexed with the data input/output signals on a multiplexed x8 or  
x16 input/output bus. This interface reduces the pin count and makes it possible to migrate  
to other densities without changing the footprint.  
Each block can be programmed and erased up to 100,000 cycles. To extend the lifetime of  
NAND flash devices it is strongly recommended to implement an error correction code  
(ECC). A Write Protect pin is available to provide hardware protection against program and  
erase operations.  
The devices feature an open-drain ready/busy output that identifies if the program/erase/  
read (P/E/R) controller is currently active. The use of an open-drain output allows the  
Ready/Busy pins from several memories to be connected to a single pull-up resistor.  
A Copy Back command is available to optimize the management of defective blocks. When  
a page program operation fails, the data can be programmed in another page without having  
to resend the data to be programmed.

The devices are available in the following packages:  
TSOP48 12 x 20 mm for all products  
VFBGA55 (8 x 10 x 1 mm, 6 x 8 ball array, 0.8 mm pitch)  
and in two different versions:  
No option (Chip Enable ‘care’, sequential row read enabled): the sequential row read  
feature allows to download up to all the pages in a block with one read command and  
addressing only the first page to read  
With Chip Enable ‘don’t care’ feature. This enables the sharing of the bus between  
more active memories that are simultaneously active as Chip Enable transitions during  
latency do not stop read operations. Program and erase operations are not interrupted  
by Chip Enable transitions.  
A serial number (unique identifier) option enables each device to be uniquely identified. The  
serial number options is subject to an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) and is not described  
in this datasheet. For more details of this option contact your nearest Numonyx sales office.

Memory array organization  
2
Memory array organization  
The memory array comprises NAND structures where 16 cells are connected in series.  
The memory array is organized in blocks where each block contains 32 pages. The array is  
split into two areas, the main area and the spare area. The main area of the array stores  
data, whereas the spare area is typically used to store error correction codes, software flags  
or bad block identification.  
In x8 devices the pages are split into a main area with two half pages of 256 bytes each and  
a spare area of 16 bytes. In the x16 devices the pages are split into a 256-word main area  
and an 8-word spare area. Refer to Figure 7: Memory array organization.  
2.1  
Bad blocks  
The NAND flash 528-byte/264-word page devices may contain bad blocks, that is blocks  
that contain one or more invalid bits whose reliability is not guaranteed. Additional bad  
blocks may develop during the lifetime of the device.  
The bad block information is written prior to shipping (refer to Section 2.1: Bad blocks for  
more details).  
Table 4 shows the minimum number of valid blocks in each device. The values shown  
include both the bad blocks that are present when the device is shipped and the bad blocks  
that could develop later on.  
These blocks need to be managed using bad blocks management, block replacement or  
error correction codes (refer to Section 7: Software algorithms).

Signal descriptions  
See Figure 1: Logic diagram and Table 3: Signal names for a brief overview of the signals  
connected to this device.  
3.1  
Inputs/outputs (I/O0-I/O7)  
Input/Outputs 0 to 7 input the selected address, output the data during a read operation or  
input a command or data during a write operation. The inputs are latched on the rising edge  
of Write Enable. I/O0-I/O7 are left floating when the device is deselected or the outputs are  
disabled.  
3.2  
Inputs/outputs (I/O8-I/O15)  
Input/outputs 8 to 15 are only available in x16 devices. They output the data during a read  
operation or input data during a write operation. Command and address inputs only require  
I/O0 to I/O7.  
The inputs are latched on the rising edge of Write Enable. I/O8-I/O15 are left floating when  
the device is deselected or the outputs are disabled.  
3.3  
3.4  
3.5  
Address Latch Enable (AL)  
Address Latch Enable activates the latching of the address inputs in the command interface.  
When AL is high, the inputs are latched on the rising edge of Write Enable.  
Command Latch Enable (CL)  
The Command Latch Enable activates the latching of the command inputs in the command  
interface. When CL is high, the inputs are latched on the rising edge of Write Enable.  
Chip Enable (E)  
The Chip Enable input activates the memory control logic, input buffers, decoders and  
sense amplifiers. When Chip Enable is Low, V , the device is selected.  
IL  
While the device is busy programming or erasing, Chip Enable transitions to High (V ) are  
IH  
ignored and the device does not go into standby mode.  
While the device is busy reading:  
the Chip Enable input should be held Low during the whole busy time (t  
devices that do not feature the Chip Enable don’t care option. Otherwise, the read  
operation in progress is interrupted and the device goes into standby mode.  
) for  
BLBH1  
for devices that feature the Chip Enable don’t care option, the Chip Enable going High  
during the busy time (t  
go into standby mode.  
) will not interrupt the read operation and the device will not

3.6  
Read Enable (R)  
Read Enable, R, controls the sequential data output during read operations. Data is valid  
t
after the falling edge of R. The falling edge of R also increments the internal column  
RLQV  
address counter by one.  
3.7  
Write Enable (W)  
The Write Enable input, W, controls writing to the Command Interface, Input Address and  
Data latches. Both addresses and data are latched on the rising edge of Write Enable.  
During power-up and power-down a recovery time of 10 µs (min) is required before the  
Command Interface is ready to accept a command. It is recommended to keep Write Enable  
high during the recovery time.  
3.8  
3.9  
Write Protect (WP)  
The Write Protect pin is an input that provides hardware protection against unwanted  
program or erase operations. When Write Protect is Low, V , the device does not accept  
any program or erase operations.  
IL  
It is recommended to keep the Write Protect pin Low, V , during power-up and power-down.  
IL  
Ready/Busy (RB)  
The Ready/Busy output, RB, is an open-drain output that can be used to identify if the P/E/R  
controller is currently active.  
When Ready/Busy is Low, V , a read, program or erase operation is in progress. When the  
OL  
operation completes Ready/Busy goes High, V  
.
OH  
The use of an open-drain output allows the Ready/Busy pins from several memories to be  
connected to a single pull-up resistor. A Low then indicates that one or more of the  
memories is busy.  
Refer to the Section 10.1: Ready/busy signal electrical characteristics for details on how to  
calculate the value of the pull-up resistor.  
3.10  
VDD supply voltage  
V
provides the power supply to the internal core of the memory device. It is the main  
DD  
power supply for all operations (read, program and erase).  
An internal voltage detector disables all functions whenever V is below the V  
threshold  
LKO  
DD  
(see paragraph Figure 35: Data protection) to protect the device from any involuntary  
program/erase operations during power-transitions.  
Each device in a system should have V decoupled with a 0.1 µF capacitor. The PCB track  
DD  
widths should be sufficient to carry the required program and erase currents

Bus operations  
There are six standard bus operations that control the memory. Each of these is described  
in this section, see Table 5: Bus operations for a summary.  
4.1  
Command input  
Command input bus operations give commands to the memory. Commands are accepted  
when Chip Enable is Low, Command Latch Enable is High, Address Latch Enable is Low,  
and Read Enable is High. They are latched on the rising edge of the Write Enable signal.  
Only I/O0 to I/O7 input commands.  
See Figure 21: Command Latch AC waveforms and Table 14: Program, erase times and  
program erase endurance cycles for details of the timings requirements.  
4.2  
Address input  
Address input bus operations input the memory address. Three bus cycles are required to  
input the addresses (refer to Tables Table 6: Address insertion, x8 devices and Table 7:  
Address insertion, x16 devices).  
The addresses are accepted when Chip Enable is Low, Address Latch Enable is High,  
Command Latch Enable is Low, and Read Enable is High. They are latched on the rising  
edge of the Write Enable signal. Only I/O0 to I/O7 input addresses.  
See Figure 22: Address Latch AC waveforms and Table 14: Program, erase times and  
program erase endurance cycles for details of the timings requirements.  
4.3  
Data input  
Data input bus operations input the data to be programmed.  
Data is accepted only when Chip Enable is Low, Address Latch Enable is Low, Command  
Latch Enable is Low, and Read Enable is High. The data is latched on the rising edge of the  
Write Enable signal and is input sequentially using the Write Enable signal.  
See Figure 23: Data Input Latch AC waveforms and Table 14: Program, erase times and  
program erase endurance cycles and Table 20: AC characteristics for operations for details  
of the timings requirements.  
18/58  
NAND128-A, NAND256-A  
Bus operations  
4.4  
Data output  
Data output bus operations read the data in the memory array, the status register, the  
electronic signature, and the serial number.  
Data is output when Chip Enable is Low, Write Enable is High, Address Latch Enable is Low,  
and Command Latch Enable is Low.  
The data is output sequentially using the Read Enable signal.  
See Figure 24: Sequential data output after read AC waveforms and Table 20: AC  
characteristics for operations for details of the timings requirements.  
4.5  
4.6  
Write protect  
Write protect bus operations protect the memory against program or erase operations.  
When the Write Protect signal is Low the device does not accept program or erase  
operations, therefore, the contents of the memory array cannot be altered. The Write Protect  
signal is not latched by Write Enable to ensure protection, even during power-up.  
Standby  
When Chip Enable is High the memory enters standby mode: the device is deselected,  
outputs are disabled and power consumption is reduced.

Command set  
All bus write operations to the device are interpreted by the command interface. The  
commands are input on I/O0-I/O7 and are latched on the rising edge of Write Enable when  
the Command Latch Enable signal is High. Device operations are selected by writing  
specific commands to the command register. The two-step command sequences for  
program and erase operations are imposed to maximize data security.  
The commands are summarized in Table 9.

Device operations  
6.1  
Pointer operations  
As the NAND flash memories contain two different areas for x16 devices and three different  
areas for x8 devices (see Figure 8) the read command codes (00h, 01h, 50h) act as pointers  
to the different areas of the memory array (they select the most significant column address).  
The Read A and Read B commands act as pointers to the main memory area. Their use  
depends on the bus width of the device.  
In x16 devices the Read A command (00h) sets the pointer to Area A (the whole of the  
main area), that is words 0 to 255.  
In x8 devices the Read A command (00h) sets the pointer to Area A (the first half of the  
main area), that is bytes 0 to 255, and the Read B command (01h) sets the pointer to  
Area B (the second half of the main area), that is bytes 256 to 511.  
In both the x8 and x16 devices the Read C command (50h) acts as a pointer to Area C (the  
spare memory area), that is bytes 512 to 527 or words 256 to 263.  
Once the Read A and Read C commands have been issued the pointer remains in the  
respective areas until another pointer code is issued. However, the Read B command is  
effective for only one operation, once an operation has been executed in Area B the pointer  
returns automatically to Area A.  
The pointer operations can also be used before a program operation, that is the appropriate  
code (00h, 01h or 50h) can be issued before the program command 80h is issued (see  
Figure 9: Pointer operations for programming).

Read memory array  
Each operation to read the memory area starts with a pointer operation as shown in the  
Section 6.1: Pointer operations. Once the area (main or spare) has been selected using the  
Read A, Read B or Read C commands three bus cycles are required to input the address of  
the data to be read.  
The device defaults to Read A mode after power-up or a reset operation.  
When reading the following spare area addresses:  
A0 to A3 (x8 devices)  
A0 to A2 (x16 devices)  
set the start address of the spare area, while the following addresses are ignored:  
A4 to A7 (x8 devices)  
A3 to A7 (x16 devices)  
Once the Read A or Read C commands have been issued they do not need to be reissued  
for subsequent read operations as the pointer remains in the respective area. However, the  
Read B command is effective for only one operation; once an operation has been executed  
in Area B the pointer returns automatically to Area A. Another Read B command is required  
to start another read operation in Area B.  
Once a read command is issued two types of operations are available: random read and  
page read.  
Random read  
Each time the command is issued the first read is random read.  
Page read  
After the random read access the page data is transferred to the page buffer in a time  
of t  
(refer to Table 20: AC characteristics for operations for the value). Once the  
WHBH  
transfer is complete the Ready/Busy signal goes High. The data can then be read out  
sequentially (from the selected column address to the last column address) by pulsing  
the Read Enable signal.  
Sequential row read  
After the data in last column of the page is output, if the Read Enable signal is pulsed  
23/58  
Device operations  
NAND128-A, NAND256-A  
and Chip Enable remains Low, then the next page is automatically loaded into the page  
buffer and the read operation continues. A sequential row read operation can only be  
used to read within a block. If the block changes a new read command must be issued.  
Refer to Figure 12: Sequential row read operations and Figure 13: Sequential row read  
block diagrams for details about sequential row read operations. To terminate a  
sequential row read operation, set to High the Chip Enable signal for more than t  
.

Page program  
The page program operation is the standard operation to program data to the memory array.  
The main area of the memory array is programmed by page, however partial page  
programming is allowed where any number of bytes (1 to 528) or words (1 to 264) can be  
programmed.  
The maximum number of consecutive partial page program operations allowed in the same  
page is three. After exceeding this a Block Erase command must be issued before any  
further program operations can take place in that page.  
Before starting a page program operation a pointer operation can be performed to point to  
the area to be programmed. Refer to Section 6.1: Pointer operations and Figure 9: Pointer  
operations for programming for details.  
Each page program operation consists of the following five steps (see Figure 14: Page  
program operation):  
1. One bus cycle is required to setup the Page Program command  
2. Four bus cycles are then required to input the program address (refer to Table 6:  
Address insertion, x8 devices)  
3. The data is then input (up to 528 bytes/ 264 words) and loaded into the page buffer  
4. One bus cycle is required to issue the confirm command to start the P/E/R controller.  
5. The P/E/R controller then programs the data into the array.  
Once the program operation has started the status register can be read using the Read  
Status Register command. During program operations the status register only flags errors  
for bits set to '1' that have not been successfully programmed to '0'.  
During the program operation, only the Read Status Register and Reset commands are  
accepted; all other commands are ignored.  
Once the program operation has completed the P/E/R controller bit SR6 is set to ‘1’ and the  
Ready/Busy signal goes High.  
The device remains in read status register mode until another valid command is written to  
the command interface.

Copy back program  
The copy back program operation copies the data stored in one page and reprogram it in  
another page.  
The copy back program operation does not require external memory and so the operation is  
faster and more efficient because the reading and loading cycles are not required. The  
operation is particularly useful when a portion of a block is updated and the rest of the block  
needs to be copied to the newly assigned block.  
If the copy back program operation fails an error is signalled in the status register. However,  
as the standard external ECC cannot be used with the copy back operation bit error due to  
charge loss cannot be detected. For this reason it is recommended to limit the number of  
copy back operations on the same data and or to improve the performance of the ECC.  
The copy back program operation requires the following three steps:  
1. The source page must be read using the Read A command (one bus write cycle to  
setup the command and then 4 bus write cycles to input the source page address).  
This operation copies all 264 words/ 528 bytes from the page into the page buffer.  
2. When the device returns to the ready state (Ready/Busy High), the second bus write  
cycle of the command is given with the 4 bus cycles to input the target page address.  
Refer to Table 10 for the addresses that must be the same for the source and target  
pages.  
3. Then the confirm command is issued to start the P/E/R controller.  
After a copy back program operation, a partial-page program is not allowed in the target  
page until the block has been erased. See Figure 15 for an example of the copy back  
operation.

Block erase  
Erase operations are done one block at a time. An erase operation sets all of the bits in the  
addressed block to ‘1’. All previous data in the block is lost.  
An erase operation consists of the following three steps (refer to Figure 16: Block erase  
operation):  
1. One bus cycle is required to set up the Block Erase command.  
2. Only two bus cycles are required to input the block address. The first cycle (A0 to A7) is  
not required as only addresses A14 to A26 (highest address depends on device  
density) are valid, A9 to A13 are ignored. In the last address cycle I/O2 to I/O7 must be  
set to V .  
IL  
3. One bus cycle is required to issue the confirm command to start the P/E/R controller.  
Once the erase operation has completed the status register can be checked for errors.

Reset  
The Reset command resets the command interface and status register. If the Reset  
command is issued during any operation, the operation is aborted. If it was a program or  
erase operation that was aborted, the contents of the memory locations being modified are  
no longer valid as the data is partially programmed or erased.  
If the device has already been reset then the new Reset command is not accepted.  
The Ready/Busy signal goes Low for t  
after the Reset command is issued. The value  
BLBH4  
of t  
depends on the operation that the device was performing when the command was  
BLBH4  
issued (refer to Table 20: AC characteristics for operations for the values.)  
6.7  
Read status register  
The device contains a status register which provides information on the current or previous  
program or erase operation. the various bits in the status register convey information and  
errors on the operation.  
the status register is read by issuing the read status register command. the status register  
information is present on the output data bus (I/O0-I/O7) on the falling edge of chip enable  
or read enable, whichever occurs last. when several memories are connected in a system,  
the use of chip enable and read enable signals allows the system to poll each device  
separately, even when the ready/busy pins are common-wired. it is not necessary to toggle  
the chip enable or read enable signals to update the contents of the status register.  
28/58  
NAND128-A, NAND256-A  
Device operations  
After the read status register command has been issued, the device remains in read status  
register mode until another command is issued. therefore if a read status register command  
is issued during a random read cycle a new read command must be issued to continue with  
a page read.  
The status register bits are summarized in Table 11: Status register bits, to which you should  
refer in conjunction with the following sections.  
6.7.1  
Write protection bit (SR7)  
The write protection bit identifies if the device is protected or not. If the write protection bit is  
set to ‘1’ the device is not protected and program or erase operations are allowed. If the  
write protection bit is set to ‘0’ the device is protected and program or erase operations are  
not allowed.  
6.7.2  
6.7.3  
P/E/R controller bit (SR6)  
The program/erase/read controller bit indicates whether the P/E/R controller is active or  
inactive. When the P/E/R controller bit is set to ‘0’, the P/E/R controller is active (device is  
busy); when the bit is set to ‘1’, the P/E/R controller is inactive (device is ready).  
Error bit (SR0)  
The error bit identifies if any errors have been detected by the P/E/R controller. The error bit  
is set to ’1’ when a program or erase operation has failed to write the correct data to the  
memory. If the error bit is set to ‘0’ the operation has completed successfully.  
SR5, SR4, SR3, SR2 and SR1 are reserved.

Read electronic signature  
The device contains a manufacturer code and device code. To read these codes the following  
two steps are required:  
1. First use one bus write cycle to issue the Read Electronic Signature command (90h),  
followed by an address input of 00h.  
2. Then, perform two bus read operations. The first one reads the manufacturer code and  
the second reads the device code. Further bus read operations are ignored.

Software algorithms  
This section gives information on the software algorithms that Numonyx recommends to  
implement to manage the bad blocks and extend the lifetime of the NAND device.  
NAND flash memories are programmed and erased by Fowler-Nordheim tunneling using a  
high voltage. Exposing the device to a high voltage for extended periods can cause the  
oxide layer to be damaged. For this reason, the number of program and erase cycles is  
limited (see Table 14: Program, erase times and program erase endurance cycles for the  
values) and it is recommended to implement garbage collection, a wear-leveling algorithm  
and an error correction code to extend the number of program and erase cycles and  
increase the data retention.  
For the integration of NAND memories into an application, Numonyx provides a full range of  
software solutions such as file systems, sector managers, drivers, and code management.  
Contact the nearest Numonyx sales office or visit www.numonyx.com for more details.  
7.1  
Bad block management  
Devices with bad blocks have the same quality level and the same AC and DC  
characteristics as devices where all the blocks are valid. A bad block does not affect the  
performance of valid blocks because it is isolated from the bit line and common source line  
by a select transistor.  
The devices are supplied with all the locations inside valid blocks erased (FFh). The bad  
block information is written prior to shipping. Any block where the 6th byte (x8 devices)/1st  
word (x16 devices) in the spare area of the 1st page does not contain FFh is a bad block.  
The bad block information must be read before any erase is attempted as the bad block  
information may be erased. For the system to be able to recognize the bad blocks based on  
the original information it is recommended to create a bad block table following the flowchart  
shown in Figure 17: Bad block management flowchart.  
7.2  
Block replacement  
Over the lifetime of the device additional bad blocks may develop. In this case the block has  
to be replaced by copying the data to a valid block. These additional bad blocks can be  
identified as attempts to program or erase them outputs errors to the status register.  
As the failure of a page program operation does not affect the data in other pages in the  
same block, the block can be replaced by re-programming the current data and copying the  
rest of the replaced block to an available valid block. The Copy Back Program command can  
be used to copy the data to a valid block.  
Refer to Section 6.4: Copy back program for more details.

7.3  
Garbage collection  
When a data page needs to be modified, it is faster to write to the first available page, and  
the previous page is marked as invalid. After several updates it is necessary to remove  
invalid pages to free some memory space.  
To free this memory space and allow further program operations it is recommended to  
implement a garbage collection algorithm. In a garbage collection software the valid pages  
are copied into a free area and the block containing the invalid pages is erased (see  
Figure 18: Garbage collection).

7.4  
Wear-leveling algorithm  
For write-intensive applications, it is recommended to implement a wear-leveling algorithm  
to monitor and spread the number of write cycles per block.  
In memories that do not use a wear-leveling algorithm not all blocks get used at the same  
rate. Blocks with long-lived data do not endure as many write cycles as the blocks with  
frequently-changed data.  
The wear-leveling algorithm ensures that equal use is made of all the available write cycles  
for each block. There are two wear-leveling levels:  
First level wear-leveling: new data is programmed to the free blocks that have had the  
fewest write cycles.  
Second level wear-leveling: long-lived data is copied to another block so that the  
original block can be used for more frequently-changed data.  
The second level wear-leveling is triggered when the difference between the maximum and  
the minimum number of write cycles per block reaches a specific threshold.

Error correction code  
An error correction code (ECC) can be implemented in the NAND flash memories to identify  
and correct errors in the data.  
The recommendation is to implement 23 bits of ECC for every 4096 bits in the device.

Hardware simulation models  
7.6.1  
Behavioral simulation models  
Denali Software Corporation models are platform-independent functional models designed  
to assist customers in performing entire system simulations (typical VHDL/Verilog). These  
models describe the logic behavior and timings of NAND flash devices, and, therefore, allow  
software to be developed before hardware.  
7.6.2  
IBIS simulations models  
IBIS (I/O buffer information specification) models describe the behavior of the I/O buffers  
and electrical characteristics of flash devices.  
These models provide information such as AC characteristics, rise/fall times, and package  
mechanical data, all of which are measured or simulated at voltage and temperature ranges  
wider than those allowed by target specifications.  
IBIS models simulate PCB connections and can resolve compatibility issues when  
upgrading devices. They can be imported into SPICETOOLS.

Appendix A  
Hardware interface examples  
NAND flash devices can be connected to a microcontroller system bus for code and data  
storage. For microcontrollers that have an embedded NAND controller the NAND flash can  
be connected without the addition of glue logic (see Figure 38). However, a minimum of glue  
logic is required for general purpose microcontrollers that do not have an embedded NAND  
controller. The glue logic usually consists of a flip-flop to hold the Chip Enable, Address  
Latch Enable, and Command Latch Enable signals stable during command and address  
latch operations, and some logic gates to simplify the firmware or make the design more  
robust.  
Figure 39 provides an example of how to connect a NAND flash to a general purpose  
microcontroller. The additional OR gates allow the microcontroller’s Output Enable and  
Write Enable signals to be used for other peripherals. The OR gate between A3 and CSn  
maps the flip-flop and NAND I/O in different address spaces inside the same chip select  
unit, which improves the setup and hold times and simplifies the firmware. The structure  
uses the microcontroller DMA (direct memory access) engines to optimize the transfer  
between the NAND flash and the system RAM.  
For any interface with glue logic, the extra delay caused by the gates and flip-flop must be  
taken into account. This delay must be added to the microcontroller’s AC characteristics and  
register settings to get the NAND flash setup and hold times.  
For mass storage applications (hard disk emulations or systems where a huge amount of  
storage is required) NAND flash memories can be connected together to build storage  
modules (see Figure 40).
