It is referred to as the small page family. The devices have a density of 512 Mbits and operate with either a 1.8 or 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. To extend the lifetime of NAND Flash devices it is strongly recommended to implement an error correction code (ECC). The use of ECC correction allows to achieve up to 100,000 program/erase cycles for each block. A write protect pin is available to give a hardware protection against program and erase operations. The devices feature an open-drain Ready/Busy output that can be used to identify 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 TSOP48 (12 x 20 mm) and VFBGA63 (9 x 11 x 1.05 mm) packages and in two different versions: l 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 l 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. They also come with the following security features: l OTP (one time programmable) area, which is a restricted access area where sensitive data/code can be stored permanently. The access sequence and further details about this feature are subject to an NDA (non disclosure agreement) l Serial number (unique identifier), which enables each device to be uniquely identified. It is subject to an NDA and is, therefore, not described in the datasheet. For more details about these security features, contact your nearest Numonyx sales office. For information on how to order these devices refer to Table 25: Ordering information scheme. Devices are shipped from the factory with block 0 always valid and the memory content bits, in valid blocks, erased to ’1’.

The main area of the array is used to store 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 5: Memory array organization. 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 7.1: Bad block management 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). Table 4.

Table 5 provides the detailed descriptions of the signals. Table 5. Signal descriptions Symbol Type Description Input/Output signals I/O0-I/O7 I/O8-I/O15 Input/Output Input/outputs 0 to 7 are used to 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. Input/Output Input/outputs 8 to 15 are only available in x16 devices. They are used to 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. Input The 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. Input 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. Input The Chip Enable input activates the memory control logic, input buffers, decoders and read circuitry. When Chip Enable is Low, VIL, the device is selected. If Chip Enable goes High (VIH) while the device is busy programming or erasing, the device remains selected and 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 (tBLBH1) for 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 devices that feature the Chip Enable don’t care option, the Chip Enable going High during the busy time (tBLBH1) will not interrupt the read operation and the device will not go into standby mode. Control signals AL CL E 210403 - Rev 4 13/51 Signal descriptions Table 5. Numonyx SLC SP 70 nm Signal descriptions (continued) Symbol Type Description Input The Read Enable, R, controls the sequential data output during read operations. Data is valid tRLQV after the falling edge of R. The falling edge of R also increments the internal column address counter by one. Input 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. Input The Write Protect pin is an input that gives a hardware protection against unwanted program or erase operations. When Write Protect is Low, VIL, the device does not accept any program or erase operations. It is recommended to keep the Write Protect pin Low, VIL, during power-up and power-down. Output 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, VOL, a read, program or erase operation is in progress. When the operation completes Ready/Busy goes High, VOH. 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 will then indicate that one, or more, of the memories is busy. 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. During the recovery time the RB signal is Low, VOL. Refer to the Section 10.1: Ready/Busy signal electrical characteristics for details on how to calculate the value of the pull-up resistor. VDD Supply voltage VDD provides the power supply to the internal core of the memory device. It is the main power supply for all operations (read, program and erase). An internal voltage detector disables all functions whenever VDD is below the VLKO threshold (see Figure 34: Data protection) to protect the device from any involuntary program/erase operations during power-transitions. VSS Ground Ground, VSS, is the reference for the power supply. It must be connected to the system ground. R W WP RB Supply 14/51 210403 - Rev 4 Numonyx SLC SP 70 nm 4 Bus operations Bus operations There are six standard bus operations that control the memory. Each of these is described in this section, see Table 6: Bus operations, for a summary. 4.1 Command input Command input bus operations are used to give commands to the memory. Command 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 are used to input commands. See Figure 18 and Table 21 for details of the timings requirements. 4.2 Address input Address input bus operations are used to input the memory address. Four bus cycles are required to input the addresses for the 512 Mbit devices (refer to Table 7 and Table 8, Address Insertion). 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 are used to input addresses. See Figure 19 and Table 21 for details of the timings requirements. 4.3 Data input Data Input bus operations are used to 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. The data is input sequentially using the Write Enable signal. See Figure 20, Table 21, and Table 22 for details of the timings requirements. 4.4 Data output Data Output bus operations are used to 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 21 and Table 22 for details of the timings requirements. 210403 - Rev 4 15/51 Bus operations 4.5 Numonyx SLC SP 70 nm Write protect Write protect bus operations are used to protect the memory against program or erase operations. When the Write Protect signal is Low the device will not accept program or erase operations and so 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. 4.6 Standby When Chip Enable is High the memory enters standby mode, the device is deselected, outputs are disabled and power consumption is reduced.

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 10. Table 10.

The Read B command (code 01h) is not used in x16 devices. 4. The Program Confirm command (code 10h) is no more necessary for 512 Mbit, 70 nm devices. It is optional and has been maintained for backward compatibility. 18/51 210403 - Rev 4 Numonyx SLC SP 70 nm Device operations 6 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 6) the read command codes (00h, 01h, 50h) are used to 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. l 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. l 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 7). Figure 6.

Subsequent 50h commands can be omitted. ai07591 6.2 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 four bus cycles are required to input the address (refer to Table 7 and Table 8) of the data to be read. The device defaults to read A mode after power-up or a reset operation. When reading the spare area addresses: l A0 to A3 (x8 devices) l A0 to A2 (x16 devices) are used to set the start address of the spare area while addresses: l A4 to A7 (x8 devices) l A3 to A7 (x16 devices) are ignored. 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 and so 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. 6.2.1 Random read Each time the command is issued the first read is random read. 20/51 210403 - Rev 4 Numonyx SLC SP 70 nm 6.2.2 Device operations Page read After the random read access the page data is transferred to the page buffer in a time of tWHBH (refer to Table 22 for value). Once the transfer is complete the Ready/Busy signal goes High. The data can then be read out sequentially (from selected column address to last column address) by pulsing the Read Enable signal.

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 9: Sequential row read operations and Figure 10: 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 tEHEL. Sequential row read is not available when the Chip Enable don’t care option is enabled. 210403 - Rev 4 21/51 Device operations Figure 9.

Highest address depends on device density. 22/51 210403 - Rev 4 Numonyx SLC SP 70 nm 6.3 Device operations 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 the Section 6.1: Pointer operations and Figure 7 for details. Each page program operation consists of five steps (see Figure 12): 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 7 and Table 8) 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. Figure 12. Page program operation tBLBH2 (Program Busy time) RB Busy I/O 80h Address Inputs Data Input 10h Confirm Code Page Program Setup Code 70h SR0 Read Status Register ai07566 1. Before starting a page program operation a pointer operation can be performed. Refer to Section 6.1: Pointer operations for details. 210403 - Rev 4 23/51 Device operations 6.4 Numonyx SLC SP 70 nm Copy back program The copy back program operation is used to copy 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 two 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 11 for the addresses that must be the same for the source and target pages 3. The Program Confirm command (code 10h) is no more necessary on 512 Mbit, 70 nm devices. It is optional and has been maintained for backward compatibility. 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 13 for an example of the copy back operation. Table 11. Copy back program addresses Density Same address for source and target pages 512 Mbit A25 Figure 13.

The Program Confirm command (code 10h) is no more necessary on 512 Mbit, 70 nm devices. It is optional and has been maintained for backward compatibility. 24/51 210403 - Rev 4 Numonyx SLC SP 70 nm 6.5 Device operations 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 three steps (refer to Figure 14): 1. One bus cycle is required to setup the Block Erase command 2. Only three bus cycles are required to input the block address. The first cycle (A0 to A7) is not required as only addresses A14 to A25 are valid, A9 to A13 are ignored. In the last address cycle I/O2 to I/O7 must be set to VIL. 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. Figure 14. Block erase operation tBLBH3 (Erase Busy time) RB Busy I/O 60h Block Erase Setup Code Block Address Inputs D0h Confirm Code 70h SR0 Read Status Register ai07593 6.6 Reset The Reset command is used to reset the command interface and status register. If the Reset command is issued during any operation, the operation will be aborted. If it was a program or erase operation that was aborted, the contents of the memory locations being modified will no longer be valid as the data will be partially programmed or erased. If the device has already been reset then the new Reset command will not be accepted. The Ready/Busy signal goes Low for tBLBH4 after the Reset command is issued. The value of tBLBH4 depends on the operation that the device was performing when the command was issued, refer to Table 22 for the values. 210403 - Rev 4 25/51 Device operations 6.7 Numonyx SLC SP 70 nm 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. 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 12: Status register bits. Refer to Table 12 in conjunction with the following text descriptions. 6.7.1 Write protection bit (SR7) The write protection bit can be used to identify 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 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). 6.7.3 Error bit (SR0) The error bit is used to identify 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. 6.7.4 SR5, SR4, SR3, SR2 and SR1 are reserved Table 12.

To read these codes 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 reads the manufacturer code and the second, the device code. Further bus read operations are ignored. Refer to Table 13: Electronic signature, for information on the addresses. Table 13.

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 15: Program, erase times and program erase endurance cycles for value) 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. To help integrate a NAND memory into an application Numonyx can provide a full range of software solutions: file system, sector management, 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 1st and 6th Bytes (x8 device)/1st Word (x16 device), 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 15. 7.2 NAND Flash memory failure modes Over the lifetime of the device additional bad blocks may develop. To implement a highly reliable system, all the possible failure modes must be considered: 28/51 l Program/erase failure: 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 will give errors in 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. See Section 6.4: Copy back program for more details l Read failure: in this case, ECC correction must be implemented. To efficiently use the memory space, it is mandatory to recover single-bit errors, which occur during read operations, by using ECC without replacing the whole block. 210403 - Rev 4 Numonyx SLC SP 70 nm Software algorithms Refer to Table 14 for the procedure to follow if an error occurs during an operation.

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 16). Figure 16. Garbage collection New area (after GC) Old area Valid page Invalid page Free page (erased) AI07599B 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. 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: l First level wear-leveling, new data is programmed to the free blocks that have had the fewest write cycles l 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. 7.5 Error correction code Users must implement an error correction code (ECC) to identify and correct errors in the data stored in the NAND Flash memories. The ECC implemented must be able to correct 1 bit every 512 Bytes. Sensible data stored in the spare area must be covered by ECC as well. 30/51 210403 - Rev 4 Numonyx SLC SP 70 nm Software algorithms 7.6 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 so 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 are used to simulate PCB connections and can be used to resolve compatibility issues when upgrading devices. They can be imported into SPICETOOLS. 210403 - Rev 4 31/51 Program and erase times and endurance cycles 8 Numonyx SLC SP 70 nm Program and erase times and endurance cycles The program and erase times and the number of program/erase cycles per block are shown in Table 15.
