Package Pin/Ball Definition Comparison The physical dimensions are similar to each other. For detailed information, please refer to the individual datasheets. The table below shows that only 1 pin/ball definition is different between the devices. DNU means “Do Not Use” in the Macronix pin/ball definition, and the pin/ball should not be connected to any signal or power trace on the board. The functions of the TC58NVG0S3E and MX30LF1G08AA I/O pins are the same but their naming is different. The TC58NVG0S3E has its I/O pins named IO1 to IO8. Whereas the MX30LF1G08AA has its I/O pins named IO0 to IO7.
