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. S34ML04G200 can be compared 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.

Device Identification The 5-byte device identification codes of the S34ML04G20 and the MX30LF4G28AB are identical with the exception of the first and last byte of the ID which contain the manufacturer ID and the ECC requirement (Table 7-1). Please note that although the Spansion and Macronix devices have the same code of “1” for the Spare Area Size (4th Byte, Bit 2), the S34ML04G20 Spare Area Size is 32 Bytes per 512 Bytes (128 Bytes per page), whereas the MX30LF4G28AB Spare Area Size is 28 bytes per 512 bytes (112 Bytes per page). Firmware that uses a non-ONFI detection method may need to be modified to recognize the larger spare area of the Macronix device.

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® S34ML04G200 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 spare area size and ECC requirements. 10.
