For detailed information, please refer to the individual datasheets. Tables 5-1 and 5-2 show differences in pin assignments between the Macronix and Spansion devices. S34ML04G100 can be replaced by the MX30LF4G28AB without pin conflicts. Only 48-TSOP pin 38 and 63-VFBGA pin G5 may need special attention because the pins are designated “DNU” (Do Not Use) on the MX30LF4G28AB. A DNU pin should not be connected to any signal or power trace on the board.

Power-Up Timing Macronix and Spansion® Power-up sequences are similar, but the timing is slightly different. Although both devices use 2.7V (VCC min.) as the start point to activate the internal initialization sequence, timing parameters used to identify the end of the sequence are different. Check the system timing to determine if adjustments are needed.

Summary Macronix MX30LF4G28AB and Spansion® S34ML04G100 NAND have similar features and pinouts. Basic Read/Program/Erase commands are the same. Overall, device migration may require minimal or no firmware modifications, except those that may be needed to accommodate differences in ECC requirements. 10.
