Comparing Spansion S34ML02G100 with Macronix MX30LF2G18AC

APPLICATION NOTE
Comparing Spansion® S34ML02G100 with Macronix MX30LF2G18AC
1. Introduction
This application note is a guide for migrating to the Macronix MX30LF2G18AC from the Spansion®
S34ML02G100 2Gb, 3V, NAND flash memory.
The document does not provide detailed information on the individual devices, but highlights the
major similarities and differences between them. The comparison covers the general features,
performance, command codes and other differences.
The information in this document is based on datasheets listed in Section 10. Newer versions of the
datasheets may override the contents of this document.
2. Features
Both flash device families have similar features and functions as shown in Table 2-1. The primary
difference is that the Macronix device requires 4-bit ECC whereas the Spansion device only
requires 1-bit ECC.

5. Package Pin/Ball Definition
Package physical dimensions are similar to each other. For detailed information, please refer to the
individual datasheets. Table 5-1 and Table 5-2 shows differences in pin assignments between the
Macronix and Spansion devices. The S34ML02G100 can be compared by the MX30LF2G18CA
without pin conflicts. Only 48-TSOP pin #38 (63-VFBGA ball G5) may need special attention
because the pin is designated “PT” which, if high during power-up, enables a memory protection
function on the MX30LF2G18AC. The PT pin can be left unconnected as it has a weak internal
pull-down to disable the protection feature.

6-2 Status Register
When a flash Read/Program/Erase operation is in progress, either the “Ready/Busy# Pin Checking”
or “Status Output Checking” method may be used to monitor the operation. Both are standard
NAND flash algorithms and can be used for both device families. Table 6-3 shows that Status
Output content provided by the Read Status command (70h) is compatible. Table 6-4 shows that
Two–plane Operation Status output provided by the Enhance Read command (78h) is compatible.

7. Read ID Command
The ID of the Macronix MX30LF2G18AC begins with a one-byte Manufacturer Code followed by a
four-byte Device ID. While the same command set is used to read the Manufacturer ID, Device ID,
and flash structure, the IDs are different, allowing software to identify the device manufacturer and
device type (Table 7-1).

8. 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, timing references are different. Check
the system timing to determine if adjustments are needed.

9. Summary
Macronix MX30LF2G18AC and Spansion® S34ML02G100 NAND have similar features and pin
outs. Because basic Read/Program/Erase commands are the same, device migration may require
minimal firmware modifications primarily due to differences in spare area sizes.
