NAND512-A2C
Description
The NAND Flash 528 Byte/ 264 Word Page is a family of non-volatile Flash memories that
uses the Single Level Cell (SLC) NAND cell technology. It is referred to as the Small Page
family. The NAND512R3A2C, NAND512R4A2C, NAND512W3A2C, and NAND512W4A2C
have a density of 512 Mbits and operate with either a 1.8V or 3V voltage supply. The size of
a Page is either 528 Bytes (512 + 16 spare) or 264 Words (256 + 8 spare) depending on
whether the device has a x8 or x16 bus width.
The address lines are multiplexed with the Data Input/Output signals on a multiplexed x8 or
x16 Input/Output bus. This interface reduces the pin count and makes it possible to migrate
to other densities without changing the footprint.
To extend the lifetime of NAND Flash devices it is strongly recommended to implement an
Error Correction Code (ECC). The use of ECC correction allows to achieve up to 100,000
program/erase cycles for each block. A Write Protect pin is available to give a hardware
protection against program and erase operations.
The devices feature an open-drain Ready/Busy output that can be used to identify if the
Program/Erase/Read (P/E/R) Controller is currently active. The use of an open-drain output
allows the Ready/Busy pins from several memories to be connected to a single pull-up
resistor.
A Copy Back command is available to optimize the management of defective blocks. When
a Page Program operation fails, the data can be programmed in another page without
having to resend the data to be programmed.
The devices are available in the following packages:
●
TSOP48 12 x 20mm
●
VFBGA63 (9 x 11 x 1mm, 6 x 8 ball array, 0.8mm pitch)
In order to meet environmental requirements, Numonyx offers the devices in ECOPACK®
packages. ECOPACK packages are Lead-free. The category of second Level Interconnect
is marked on the package and on the inner box label, in compliance with JEDEC Standard
JESD97. The maximum ratings related to soldering conditions are also marked on the inner
box label.
All devices have the Chip Enable Don't Care option, which allows the code to be directly
downloaded by a microcontroller, as Chip Enable transitions during the latency time do not
stop the read operation.
A Serial Number option, allows each device to be uniquely identified. The Serial Number
options is subject to an NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) and so not described in the
datasheet. For more details of this option contact your nearest Numonyx Sales office.
For information on how to order these options refer to Table 24: Ordering information
scheme. Devices are shipped from the factory with Block 0 always valid and the memory

Memory array organization
Memory array organization
The memory array is made up of NAND structures where 16 cells are connected in series.
The memory array is organized in blocks where each block contains 32 pages. The array is
split into two areas, the main area and the spare area. The main area of the array is used to
store data whereas the spare area is typically used to store Error correction Codes, software
flags or Bad Block identification.
In x8 devices the pages are split into a main area with two half pages of 256 Bytes each and
a spare area of 16 Bytes. In the x16 devices the pages are split into a 256 Word main area
and an 8 Word spare area. Refer to Figure 5: Memory array organization.
Bad blocks
The NAND Flash 528 Byte/ 264 Word Page devices may contain Bad Blocks, that is blocks
that contain one or more invalid bits whose reliability is not guaranteed. Additional Bad
Blocks may develop during the lifetime of the device.
The Bad Block Information is written prior to shipping (refer to Section 7.1: Bad Block
management for more details).
Table 4 shows the minimum number of valid blocks in each device. The values shown
include both the Bad Blocks that are present when the device is shipped and the Bad Blocks
that could develop later on.
These blocks need to be managed using Bad Blocks Management, Block Replacement or
Error Correction Codes (refer to Section 7: Software algorithms).

Signal descriptions
Signal descriptions
See Figure 1: Logic diagram, and Table 3: Signal names, for a brief overview of the signals
connected to this device.
3.1
Inputs/Outputs (I/O0-I/O7)
Input/Outputs 0 to 7 are used to input the selected address, output the data during a Read
operation or input a command or data during a Write operation. The inputs are latched on
the rising edge of Write Enable. I/O0-I/O7 are left floating when the device is deselected or
the outputs are disabled.
3.2
Inputs/Outputs (I/O8-I/O15)
Input/Outputs 8 to 15 are only available in x16 devices. They are used to output the data
during a Read operation or input data during a Write operation. Command and Address
Inputs only require I/O0 to I/O7.
The inputs are latched on the rising edge of Write Enable. I/O8-I/O15 are left floating when
the device is deselected or the outputs are disabled.
3.3
Address Latch Enable (AL)
The Address Latch Enable activates the latching of the Address inputs in the Command
Interface. When AL is high, the inputs are latched on the rising edge of Write Enable.
3.4
Command Latch Enable (CL)
The Command Latch Enable activates the latching of the Command inputs in the Command
Interface. When CL is high, the inputs are latched on the rising edge of Write Enable.
3.5
Chip Enable (E)
The Chip Enable input activates the memory control logic, input buffers, decoders and read
circuitry. When Chip Enable is low, VIL, the device is selected.
If Chip Enable goes High (VIH) while the device is busy, the device remains selected and
does not go into standby mode.
3.6
Read Enable (R)
The Read Enable, R, controls the sequential data output during Read operations. Data is
valid tRLQV after the falling edge of R. The falling edge of R also increments the internal
column address counter by one.
13/51
Signal descriptions
3.7
NAND512-A2C
Write Enable (W)
The Write Enable input, W, controls writing to the Command Interface, Input Address and
Data latches. Both addresses and data are latched on the rising edge of Write Enable.
During power-up and power-down a recovery time of 10µs (min) is required before the
Command Interface is ready to accept a command. It is recommended to keep Write Enable
high during the recovery time.
3.8
Write Protect (WP)
The Write Protect pin is an input that gives a hardware protection against unwanted program
or erase operations. When Write Protect is Low, VIL, the device does not accept any
program or erase operations.
It is recommended to keep the Write Protect pin Low, VIL, during power-up and power-down.
3.9
Ready/Busy (RB)
The Ready/Busy output, RB, is an open-drain output that can be used to identify if the P/E/R
Controller is currently active.
When Ready/Busy is Low, VOL, a read, program or erase operation is in progress. When the
operation completes Ready/Busy goes High, VOH.
The use of an open-drain output allows the Ready/Busy pins from several memories to be
connected to a single pull-up resistor. A Low will then indicate that one, or more, of the
memories is busy.
Refer to the Section 10.1: Ready/Busy signal electrical characteristics for details on how to
calculate the value of the pull-up resistor.
3.10
VDD supply voltage
VDD provides the power supply to the internal core of the memory device. It is the main
power supply for all operations (read, program and erase).
An internal voltage detector disables all functions whenever VDD is below the VLKO threshold
(see Section Figure 31.: Data Protection) to protect the device from any involuntary
Program/Erase operations during power-transitions.
Each device in a system should have VDD decoupled with a 0.1µF capacitor. The PCB track
widths should be sufficient to carry the required program and erase currents
3.11
VSS ground
Ground, VSS, is the reference for the power supply. It must be connected to the system
ground.

Bus operations
Bus operations
There are six standard bus operations that control the memory. Each of these is described
in this section, see Table 5: Bus operations, for a summary.
4.1
Command Input
Command Input bus operations are used to give commands to the memory. Command are
accepted when Chip Enable is Low, Command Latch Enable is High, Address Latch Enable
is Low and Read Enable is High. They are latched on the rising edge of the Write Enable
signal.
Only I/O0 to I/O7 are used to input commands.
See Figure 17 and Table 20 for details of the timings requirements.
4.2
Address Input
Address Input bus operations are used to input the memory address. Three bus cycles are
required to input the addresses for the 128Mb and 256Mb devices and four bus cycles are
required to input the addresses for the 512Mb and 1Gb devices (refer to Table 6 and
Table 7, Address Insertion).
The addresses are accepted when Chip Enable is Low, Address Latch Enable is High,
Command Latch Enable is Low and Read Enable is High. They are latched on the rising
edge of the Write Enable signal. Only I/O0 to I/O7 are used to input addresses.
See Figure 18 and Table 20 for details of the timings requirements.
4.3
Data Input
Data Input bus operations are used to input the data to be programmed.
Data is accepted only when Chip Enable is Low, Address Latch Enable is Low, Command
Latch Enable is Low and Read Enable is High. The data is latched on the rising edge of the
Write Enable signal. The data is input sequentially using the Write Enable signal.
See Figure 19, Table 20, and Table 21 for details of the timings requirements.
4.4
Data Output
Data Output bus operations are used to read: the data in the memory array, the Status
Register, the Electronic Signature and the Serial Number.
Data is output when Chip Enable is Low, Write Enable is High, Address Latch Enable is Low,
and Command Latch Enable is Low.
The data is output sequentially using the Read Enable signal.
See Figure 20 and Table 21 for details of the timings requirements.
15/51
Bus operations
4.5
NAND512-A2C
Write Protect
Write Protect bus operations are used to protect the memory against program or erase
operations. When the Write Protect signal is Low the device will not accept program or erase
operations and so the contents of the memory array cannot be altered. The Write Protect
signal is not latched by Write Enable to ensure protection even during power-up.
4.6
Standby
When Chip Enable is High the memory enters Standby mode, the device is deselected,
outputs are disabled and power consumption is reduced.

Command set
All bus write operations to the device are interpreted by the Command Interface. The
Commands are input on I/O0-I/O7 and are latched on the rising edge of Write Enable when
the Command Latch Enable signal is high. Device operations are selected by writing
specific commands to the Command Register. The two-step command sequences for
program and erase operations are imposed to maximize data security.
The Commands are summarized in Table 9.

Device operations
6.1
Pointer operations
As the NAND Flash memories contain two different areas for x16 devices and three different
areas for x8 devices (see Figure 6) the read command codes (00h, 01h, 50h) are used to
act as pointers to the different areas of the memory array (they select the most significant
column address).
The Read A and Read B commands act as pointers to the main memory area. Their use
depends on the bus width of the device.
●
In x16 devices the Read A command (00h) sets the pointer to Area A (the whole of the
main area) that is Words 0 to 255.
●
In x8 devices the Read A command (00h) sets the pointer to Area A (the first half of the
main area) that is Bytes 0 to 255, and the Read B command (01h) sets the pointer to
Area B (the second half of the main area) that is Bytes 256 to 511.
In both the x8 and x16 devices the Read C command (50h), acts as a pointer to Area C (the
spare memory area) that is Bytes 512 to 527 or Words 256 to 263.
Once the Read A and Read C commands have been issued the pointer remains in the
respective areas until another pointer code is issued. However, the Read B command is
effective for only one operation, once an operation has been executed in Area B the pointer
returns automatically to Area A.
The pointer operations can also be used before a program operation, that is the appropriate
code (00h, 01h or 50h) can be issued before the program command 80h is issued (see
Figure 7).

6.2
Read Memory Array
Each operation to read the memory area starts with a pointer operation as shown in the
Section 6.1: Pointer operations. Once the area (main or spare) has been selected using the
Read A, Read B or Read C commands four bus cycles (for 512Mb and 1Gb devices) or
three bus cycles (for 128Mb and 256Mb devices) are required to input the address (refer to
Table 6 and Table 7) of the data to be read.
The device defaults to Read A mode after power-up or a Reset operation.
When reading the spare area addresses:
●
A0 to A3 (x8 devices)
●
A0 to A2 (x16 devices)
are used to set the start address of the spare area while addresses:
●
A4 to A7 (x8 devices)
●
A3 to A7 (x16 devices)
are ignored.
Once the Read A or Read C commands have been issued they do not need to be reissued
for subsequent read operations as the pointer remains in the respective area. However, the
Read B command is effective for only one operation, once an operation has been executed
in Area B the pointer returns automatically to Area A and so another Read B command is
required to start another read operation in Area B.
Once a read command is issued two types of operations are available: Random Read and
Page Read.
6.2.1
Random Read
Each time the command is issued the first read is Random Read.

Page Read
After the Random Read access the page data is transferred to the Page Buffer in a time of
tWHBH (refer to Table 21 for value). Once the transfer is complete the Ready/Busy signal
goes High. The data can then be read out sequentially (from selected column address to
last column address) by pulsing the Read Enable signal.

Device operations
Page Program
The Page Program operation is the standard operation to program data to the memory
array.
The main area of the memory array is programmed by page, however partial page
programming is allowed where any number of bytes (1 to 528) or words (1 to 264) can be
programmed.
The maximum number of consecutive partial page program operations allowed in the same
page is three. After exceeding this a Block Erase command must be issued before any
further program operations can take place in that page.
Before starting a Page Program operation a Pointer operation can be performed to point to
the area to be programmed. Refer to the Section 6.1: Pointer operations and Figure 7 for
details.
Each Page Program operation consists of five steps (see Figure 10):
1.
One bus cycle is required to setup the Page Program command
2.
Four bus cycles are then required to input the program address (refer to Table 6 and
Table 7)
3.
The data is then input (up to 528 Bytes/ 264 Words) and loaded into the Page Buffer
4.
One bus cycle is required to issue the confirm command to start the P/E/R Controller.
5.
The P/E/R Controller then programs the data into the array.
Once the program operation has started the Status Register can be read using the Read
Status Register command. During program operations the Status Register will only flag
errors for bits set to '1' that have not been successfully programmed to '0'.
During the program operation, only the Read Status Register and Reset commands will be
accepted, all other commands will be ignored.
Once the program operation has completed the P/E/R Controller bit SR6 is set to ‘1’ and the
Ready/Busy signal goes High.
The device remains in Read Status Register mode until another valid command is written to
the Command Interface.

NAND512-A2C
Copy Back Program
The Copy Back Program operation is used to copy the data stored in one page and
reprogram it in another page.
The Copy Back Program operation does not require external memory and so the operation
is faster and more efficient because the reading and loading cycles are not required. The
operation is particularly useful when a portion of a block is updated and the rest of the block
needs to be copied to the newly assigned block.
If the Copy Back Program operation fails an error is signalled in the Status Register.
However as the standard external ECC cannot be used with the Copy Back operation bit
error due to charge loss cannot be detected. For this reason it is recommended to limit the
number of Copy Back operations on the same data and or to improve the performance of the
ECC.
The Copy Back Program operation requires two steps:
1.
The source page must be read using the Read A command (one bus write cycle to
setup the command and then 4 bus write cycles to input the source page address).
This operation copies all 264 Words/ 528 Bytes from the page into the Page Buffer.
2.
When the device returns to the ready state (Ready/Busy High), the second bus write

Refer to Table 10 for the addresses that must be the same for the Source and Target
pages.

The Program Confirm command (code 10h) is no more necessary on NAND512-A2C
devices. It is optional and has been maintained for backward compatibility.
After a Copy Back Program operation, a partial-page program is not allowed in the target
page until the block has been erased.
See Figure 11 for an example of the Copy Back operation.

Device operations
Block Erase
Erase operations are done one block at a time. An erase operation sets all of the bits in the
addressed block to ‘1’. All previous data in the block is lost.
An erase operation consists of three steps (refer to Figure 12):
1.
One bus cycle is required to setup the Block Erase command.
2.
Only three bus cycles for 512Mb and 1Gb devices, or two for 128Mb and 256Mb
devices are required to input the block address. The first cycle (A0 to A7) is not
required as only addresses A14 to A25 are valid, A9 to A13 are ignored. In the last
address cycle I/O2 to I/O7 must be set to VIL.
3.
One bus cycle is required to issue the confirm command to start the P/E/R Controller.
Once the erase operation has completed the Status Register can be checked for errors.

Reset
The Reset command is used to reset the Command Interface and Status Register. If the
Reset command is issued during any operation, the operation will be aborted. If it was a
program or erase operation that was aborted, the contents of the memory locations being
modified will no longer be valid as the data will be partially programmed or erased.
If the device has already been reset then the new Reset command will not be accepted.
The Ready/Busy signal goes Low for tBLBH4 after the Reset command is issued. The value
of tBLBH4 depends on the operation that the device was performing when the command was
issued, refer to Table 21 for the values.
25/51
Device operations
6.7
NAND512-A2C
Read Status Register
The device contains a Status Register which provides information on the current or previous
Program or Erase operation. The various bits in the Status Register convey information and
errors on the operation.
The Status Register is read by issuing the Read Status Register command. The Status
Register information is present on the output data bus (I/O0-I/O7) on the falling edge of Chip
Enable or Read Enable, whichever occurs last. When several memories are connected in a
system, the use of Chip Enable and Read Enable signals allows the system to poll each
device separately, even when the Ready/Busy pins are common-wired. It is not necessary to
toggle the Chip Enable or Read Enable signals to update the contents of the Status
Register.
After the Read Status Register command has been issued, the device remains in Read
Status Register mode until another command is issued. Therefore if a Read Status Register
command is issued during a Random Read cycle a new read command must be issued to
continue with a Page Read.
The Status Register bits are summarized in Table 11: Status Register bits. Refer to Table 11
in conjunction with the following text descriptions.
6.7.1
Write Protection Bit (SR7)
The Write Protection bit can be used to identify if the device is protected or not. If the Write
Protection bit is set to ‘1’ the device is not protected and program or erase operations are
allowed. If the Write Protection bit is set to ‘0’ the device is protected and program or erase
operations are not allowed.
6.7.2
P/E/R Controller Bit (SR6)
The Program/Erase/Read Controller bit indicates whether the P/E/R Controller is active or
inactive. When the P/E/R Controller bit is set to ‘0’, the P/E/R Controller is active (device is
busy); when the bit is set to ‘1’, the P/E/R Controller is inactive (device is ready).
6.7.3
Error Bit (SR0)
The Error bit is used to identify if any errors have been detected by the P/E/R Controller. The
Error Bit is set to ’1’ when a program or erase operation has failed to write the correct data to
the memory. If the Error Bit is set to ‘0’ the operation has completed successfully.

Read Electronic Signature
The device contains a Manufacturer Code and Device Code. To read these codes two steps
are required:
1.
first use one Bus Write cycle to issue the Read Electronic Signature command (90h),
followed by an address input of 00h.
2.
then perform two Bus Read operations – the first will read the Manufacturer Code and
the second, the Device Code. Further Bus Read operations will be ignored.
Refer to Table 12: Electronic signature, for information on the addresses.

Software algorithms
This section gives information on the software algorithms that Numonyx recommends to
implement to manage the Bad Blocks and extend the lifetime of the NAND device.
NAND Flash memories are programmed and erased by Fowler-Nordheim tunneling using a
high voltage. Exposing the device to a high voltage for extended periods can cause the
oxide layer to be damaged. For this reason, the number of program and erase cycles is
limited (see Table 14 for value) and it is recommended to implement Garbage Collection, a
Wear-Leveling Algorithm and an Error Correction Code, to extend the number of program
and erase cycles and increase the data retention.
To help integrate a NAND memory into an application Numonyx can provide:
●
File System OS Native reference software, which supports the basic commands of file
management.
Contact the nearest Numonyx sales office for more details.
7.1
Bad Block management
Devices with Bad Blocks have the same quality level and the same AC and DC
characteristics as devices where all the blocks are valid. A Bad Block does not affect the
performance of valid blocks because it is isolated from the bit line and common source line
by a select transistor.
The devices are supplied with all the locations inside valid blocks erased (FFh). The Bad
Block Information is written prior to shipping. Any block where the 6th byte (x8 device) / 1st
word (x16 device) in the spare area of the 1st page does not contain FFh is a Bad Block.
The Bad Block Information must be read before any erase is attempted as the Bad Block
Information may be erased. For the system to be able to recognize the Bad Blocks based on
the original information it is recommended to create a Bad Block table following the
flowchart shown in Figure 13.
7.2
NAND Flash memory failure modes
Over the lifetime of the device additional Bad Blocks may develop.
To implement a highly reliable system, all the possible failure modes must be considered:
●
Program/Erase failure: in this case the block has to be replaced by copying the data to
a valid block. These additional Bad Blocks can be identified as attempts to program or
erase them will give errors in the Status Register.
As the failure of a Page Program operation does not affect the data in other pages in
the same block, the block can be replaced by re-programming the current data and
copying the rest of the replaced block to an available valid block. The Copy Back
Program command can be used to copy the data to a valid block. See Section 6.4:
Copy Back Program for more details.
●
Read failure: in this case, ECC correction must be implemented. To efficiently use the
memory space, it is recommended to recover single-bit error in read by ECC, without
replacing the whole block.
Refer to Table 13 for the procedure to follow if an error occurs during an operation.

Garbage collection
When a data page needs to be modified, it is faster to write to the first available page, and
the previous page is marked as invalid. After several updates it is necessary to remove
invalid pages to free some memory space.
To free this memory space and allow further program operations it is recommended to
implement a Garbage Collection algorithm. In a Garbage Collection software the valid
pages are copied into a free area and the block containing the invalid pages is erased (see
Figure 14).

AI07599B
7.4
Wear-leveling algorithm
For write-intensive applications, it is recommended to implement a Wear-leveling Algorithm
to monitor and spread the number of write cycles per block.
In memories that do not use a Wear-Leveling Algorithm not all blocks get used at the same
rate. Blocks with long-lived data do not endure as many write cycles as the blocks with
frequently-changed data.
The Wear-leveling Algorithm ensures that equal use is made of all the available write cycles
for each block. There are two wear-leveling levels:
●
First Level Wear-leveling, new data is programmed to the free blocks that have had the
fewest write cycles
●
Second Level Wear-leveling, long-lived data is copied to another block so that the
original block can be used for more frequently-changed data.
The Second Level Wear-leveling is triggered when the difference between the maximum
and the minimum number of write cycles per block reaches a specific threshold.
7.5
Error Correction Code
An Error Correction Code (ECC) can be implemented in the Nand Flash memories to
identify and correct errors in the data.
For every 2048 bits in the device it is recommended to implement 22 bits of ECC (16 bits for
line parity plus 6 bits for column parity).

Hardware simulation models
7.6.1
Behavioral simulation models
Denali Software Corporation models are platform independent functional models designed
to assist customers in performing entire system simulations (typical VHDL/Verilog). These
models describe the logic behavior and timings of NAND Flash devices, and so allow
software to be developed before hardware.
7.6.2
IBIS simulations models
IBIS (I/O Buffer Information Specification) models describe the behavior of the I/O buffers
and electrical characteristics of Flash devices.
These models provide information such as AC characteristics, rise/fall times and package
mechanical data, all of which are measured or simulated at voltage and temperature ranges
wider than those allowed by target specifications.
IBIS models are used to simulate PCB connections and can be used to resolve compatibility
issues when upgrading devices. They can be imported into SPICETOOLS.

Ready/Busy signal electrical characteristics
Figure 28, Figure 29 and Figure 30 show the electrical characteristics for the Ready/Busy
signal. The value required for the resistor RP can be calculated using the following equation:
(V
–
)
DDmax V OLmax
R P min = ------------------------------------------------------------+
I
I OL
L
So,
1.85V
R P min ( 1.8V ) = --------------------------3mA + I L
3.2V
R P min ( 3V ) = --------------------------8mA + I L
where IL is the sum of the input currents of all the devices tied to the Ready/Busy signal. RP
max is determined by the maximum value of tr.

Data Protection
The Numonyx NAND device is designed to guarantee Data Protection during Power
Transitions.
A VDD detection circuit disables all NAND operations, if VDD is below the VLKO threshold.
In the VDD range from VLKO to the lower limit of nominal range, the WP pin should be kept
low (VIL) to guarantee hardware protection during power transitions as shown in the below
figure.
