5. Package Pin/Ball Definition
Package physical dimensions are similar to each other. 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 compared by the MX30LF4G18AC without
pin conflicts. Only 48-TSOP pin #38 (ball G5 on VFBGA) may need special attention because the
pin is designated “PT” which is chip protected function on the MX30LF4G18AC-TI, but
S34ML04G100 is designated as NC.

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 devices. 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 Status command (78h) is
compatible.

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, measurement items are different.
Check the system timing to determine if adjustments are needed.

9. Summary
Macronix MX30LF4G18AC and Spansion® S34ML04G100 NAND have similar features and pinouts.
Because basic Read/Program/Erase commands as well as block, page, and spare area sizes are
the same, device migration may require minimal or no firmware modifications to accommodate
differences in ECC requirements.
