Comparing Toshiba® TC58NVG1S3E with MX30LF2G28AB
1. Introduction
This application note is a guide for migrating to the Macronix MX30LF2G28AB from the Toshiba®
TC58NVG1S3E 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.

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 Toshiba® devices. TC58NVG1S3E can be compared by the MX30LF2G28AB without
pin conflicts. Only 48-TSOP pin #38 (ball G5 on VFBGA) may need special attention because the
pin is designated “DNU” (Do Not Use) on the MX30LF2G28AB-TI. A DNU pin should not be
connected to any signal or power trace on the board.

6-1 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 6-2 shows that Status output
content provided by the Read Status command (70h) is compatible. Table 6-3 shows that Two Plane
Operation Status output provided by the Enhance Read Status command (78h/71h) shows different
content for Two-Plane operations.

7. Device Identification
The ID of the Macronix MX30LF2G28AB 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 Toshiba® 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 MX30LF2G28AB and Toshiba® TC58NVG1S3E NAND have similar features and pinouts.
While basic Read/Program/Erase commands are similar, more advanced features such as cache
access are implemented slightly differently. The TC58NVG1S3E only requires 1-bit ECC and the
MX30LF2G28AB requires 8-bit ECC. The firmware will need to be modified from 1-bit ECC to 8-bit
ECC as required by the MX30LF2G28AB. Otherwise, device migration may require minimal or no
additional firmware modifications other than ECC support.
