Its NAND cell provides the most cost-effective solution for the solid state mass storage market. A program operation programs the 528-byte page in typically 200s and an erase operation can be performed in typically 2ms on a 16K-byte block. Data in the page can be read out at 50ns cycle time per byte. The I/O pins serve as the ports for address and data input/output as well as command inputs. The on-chip write controller automates all program and erase functions including pulse repetition, where required, and internal verify and margining of data. Even the write-intensive systems can take advantage of the K9F2808U0As extended reliability of 100K program/erase cycles by providing ECC(Error Correcting Code) with real time mapping-out algorithm. The K9F2808U0A is an optimum solution for large nonvolatile storage applications such as solid state file storage, digital voice recorder, digital still camera and other portable applications requiring non-volatility.

Spare sixteen columns are located from column address of 512 to 527. A 528-byte data register is connected to memory cell arrays accommodating data transfer between the I/O buffers and memory during page read and page program operations. The memory array is made up of 16 cells that are serially connected to form a NAND structure. Each of the 16 cells resides in a different page. A block consists of the 32 pages formed by one NAND structures, totaling 8448 NAND structures of 16 cells. The array organization is shown in Figure 2. The program and read operations are executed on a page basis, while the erase operation is executed on a block basis. The memory array consists of 1024 separately erasable 16K-byte blocks. It indicates that the bit by bit erase operation is prohibited on the K9F2808U0A. The K9F2808U0A has addresses multiplexed into 8 I/Os. This scheme dramatically reduces pin counts and allows systems upgrades to future densities by maintaining consistency in system board design. Command, address and data are all written through I/Os by bringing WE to low while CE is low. Data is latched on the rising edge of WE. Command Latch Enable(CLE) and Address Latch Enable(ALE) are used to multiplex command and address respectively, via the I/O pins. All commands require one bus cycle except for Block Erase command which requires two cycles: one cycle for erase-setup and another for erase-execution after block address loading. The 16M byte physical space requires 24 addresses, thereby requiring three cycles for byte-level addressing: column address, low row address and high row address, in that order. Page Read and Page Program need the same three address cycles following the required command input. In Block Erase operation, however, only the two row address cycles are used. Device operations are selected by writing specific commands into the command register. Table 1 defines the specific commands of the K9F2808U0A. Table 1. COMMAND SETS Function Read 1 1st. Cycle 2nd. Cycle 00h/01h Read 2 50h Acceptable Command during Busy - (1) - (2) Read ID 90h - Reset FFh - Page Program 80h 10h Block Erase 60h D0h Read Status 70h - NOTE : 1. The 00h command defines starting address of the 1st half of registers. The 01h command defines starting address of the 2nd half of registers. After data access on the 2nd half of register by the 01h command, the status pointer is automatically moved to the 1st half register(00h) on the next cycle. 2. The 50h command is valid only when the GND input(pin #6) is low level. 4 O O K9F2808U0A-YCB0, K9F2808U0A-YIB0 FLASH MEMORY PIN DESCRIPTION Command Latch Enable(CLE) The CLE input controls the path activation for commands sent to the command register. When active high, commands are latched into the command register through the I/O ports on the rising edge of the WE signal. Address Latch Enable(ALE) The ALE input controls the activating path for address to the internal address registers. Addresses are latched on the rising edge of WE with ALE high. Chip Enable(CE) The CE input is the device selection control. When CE goes high during a read operation the device is returned to standby mode. However, when the device is in the busy state during program or erase, CE high is ignored, and does not return the device to standby mode. Write Enable(WE) The WE input controls writes to the I/O port. Commands, address and data are latched on the rising edge of the WE pulse. Read Enable(RE) The RE input is the serial data-out control, and when active drives the data onto the I/O bus. Data is valid tREA after the falling edge of RE which also increments the internal column address counter by one. GND (Pin # 6) Connect this input pin to GND or set to static low state unless the sequential read mode excluding spare area is used. I/O Port : I/O 0 ~ I/O 7 The I/O pins are used to input command, address and data, and to output data during read operations. The I/O pins float to high-z when the chip is deselected or when the outputs are disabled. Write Protect(WP) The WP pin provides inadvertent write/erase protection during power transitions. The internal high voltage generator is reset when the WP pin is active low. Ready/Busy(R/B) The R/B output indicates the status of the device operation. When low, it indicates that a program, erase or random read operation is in process and returns to high state upon completion. It is an open drain output and does not float to high-z condition when the chip is deselected or when outputs are disabled. 5 K9F2808U0A-YCB0, K9F2808U0A-YIB0 FLASH MEMORY ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS Parameter Symbol Voltage on any pin relative to VSS Temperature Under Bias K9F2808U0A-YCB0 Rating VIN -0.6 to + 4.6 VCC -0.6 to + 4.6 V -10 to +125 TBIAS K9F2808U0A-YIB0 Storage Temperature Unit C -40 to +125 TSTG C -65 to +150 NOTE : 1.

If reset command(FFh) is written at Ready state, the device goes into Busy for maximum 5us. 8 K9F2808U0A-YCB0, K9F2808U0A-YIB0 FLASH MEMORY NAND Flash Technical Notes Invalid Block(s) Invalid blocks are defined as blocks that contain one or more invalid bits whose reliability is not guaranteed by Samsung. Typically, an invalid block will contain a single bad bit. The information regarding the invalid block(s) is so called as the invalid block information. Devices with invalid block(s) have the same quality level or as devices with all valid blocks and have the same AC and DC characteristics. An invalid block(s) does not affect the performance of valid block(s) because it is isolated from the bit line and the common source line by a select transistor. The system design must be able to mask out the invalid block(s) via address mapping. The 1st block of the NAND Flash, however, is fully guaranteed to be a valid block. Identifying Invalid Block(s) All device locations are erased(FFh) except locations where the invalid block(s) information is written prior to shipping. The invalid block(s) status is defined by the 6th byte in the spare area. Samsung makes sure that either the 1st or 2nd page of every invalid block has non-FFh data at the column address of 517. Since the invalid block information is also erasable in most cases, it is impossible to recover the information once it has been erased. Therefore, the system must be able to recognize the invalid block(s) based on the original invalid block information and create the invalid block table via the following suggested flow chart(Figure 1). Any intentional erasure of the original invalid block information is prohibited. Start Set Block Address = 0 Increment Block Address Create (or update) Invalid Block(s) Table No * Check "FFh" at the column address 517 of the 1st and 2nd page in the block Check "FFh" ? Yes No Last Block ? Yes End Figure 1. Flow chart to create invalid block table. 9 K9F2808U0A-YCB0, K9F2808U0A-YIB0 FLASH MEMORY NAND Flash Technical Notes (Continued) Error in write or read operation Over its life time, the additional invalid blocks may develop with NAND Flash memory. Refer to the qualification report for the actual data.The following possible failure modes should be considered to implement a highly reliable system. In the case of status read failure after erase or program, block replacement should be done. To improve the efficiency of memory space, it is recommended that the read or verification failure due to single bit error be reclaimed by ECC without any block replacement. The said additional block failure rate does not include those reclaimed blocks.

Block Replacement Buffer memory error occurs Page a Block A Block B 11 When the error happens with page "a" of Block "A", try to write the data into another Block "B" from an external buffer. Then, prevent further system access to Block "A" (by creating a "invalid block" table or other appropriate scheme.) K9F2808U0A-YCB0, K9F2808U0A-YIB0 FLASH MEMORY Pointer Operation of K9F2808U0A Samsung NAND Flash has three address pointer commands as a substitute for the two most significant column addresses. '00h' command sets the pointer to 'A'area(0~255byte), '01h'command sets the pointer to 'B'area(256~511byte), and '50h'command sets the pointer to 'C' area(512~527byte). With these commands, the starting column address can be set to any of a whole page(0~527byte). '00h'or '50h'is sustained until another address pointer command is inputted. '01h'command, however, is effective only for one operation. After any operation of Read, Program, Erase, Reset, Power_Up is executed once with '01h' command, the address pointer returns to 'A' area by itself. To program data starting from 'A' or 'C' area, '00h' or '50h' command must be inputted before '80h'command is written. A complete read operation prior to '80h'command is not necessary. To program data starting from 'B'area, '01h'command must be inputted right before '80h'command is written. Table 1.

For an easier system interface, CE may be inactive during the data-loading or sequential data-reading as shown below. The internal 528byte page registers are utilized as seperate buffers for this operation and the system design gets more flexible. In addition, for voice or audio applications which use slow cycle time on the order of u-seconds, de-activating CE during the data-loading and reading would provide significant savings in power consumption.

This operation is also initiated by writing 00h to the command register along with three address cycles. Once the command is latched, it does not need to be written for the following page read operation. Three types of operations are available : random read, serial page read and sequential row read. The random read mode is enabled when the page address is changed. The 528 bytes of data within the selected page are transferred to the data registers in less than 10s(tR). The system controller can detect the completion of this data transfer(tR) by analyzing the output of R/B pin. Once the data in a page is loaded into the registers, they may be read out in 50ns cycle time by sequentially pulsing RE. High to low transitions of the RE clock output the data stating from the selected column address up to the last column address(column 511 or 527 depending on the state of GND input pin). After the data of last column address is clocked out, the next page is automatically selected for sequential row read. Waiting 10s again allows reading the selected page. The sequential row read operation is terminated by bringing CE high. The way the Read1 and Read2 commands work is like a pointer set to either the main area or the spare area. The spare area of bytes 512 to 527 may be selectively accessed by writing the Read2 command with GND input pin low. Toggling SE during operation is prohibited. Addresses A0 to A3 set the starting address of the spare area while addresses A4 to A7 are ignored. Unless the operation is aborted, the page address is automatically incremented for sequential row read as in Read1 operation and spare sixteen bytes of each page may be sequentially read. The Read1 command(00h/01h) is needed to move the pointer back to the main area. Figures 3 thru 6 show typical sequence and timings for each read operation. Figure 3.

The number of consecutive partial page programming operation within the same page without an intervening erase operation should not exceed 2 for main array and 3 for spare array. The addressing may be done in any random order in a block. A page program cycle consists of a serial data loading period in which up to 528 bytes of data may be loaded into the page register, followed by a non-volatile programming period where the loaded data is programmed into the appropriate cell. Serial data loading can be started from 2nd half array by moving pointer. About the pointer operation, please refer to the attached technical notes. The serial data loading period begins by inputting the Serial Data Input command(80h), followed by the three cycle address input and then serial data loading. The bytes other than those to be programmed do not need to be loaded.The Page Program confirm command(10h) initiates the programming process. Writing 10h alone without previously entering the serial data will not initiate the programming process. The internal write controller automatically executes the algorithms and timings necessary for program and verify, thereby freeing the CPU for other tasks. Once the program process starts, the Read Status Register command may be entered, with RE and CE low, to read the status register. The CPU can detect the completion of a program cycle by monitoring the R/B output, or the Status bit(I/O 6) of the Status Register. Only the Read Status command and Reset command are valid while programming is in progress. When the Page Program is complete, the Write Status Bit(I/O 0) may be checked(Figure 7). The internal write verify detects only errors for "1"s that are not successfully programmed to "0"s. The command register remains in Read Status command mode until another valid command is written to the command register. Figure 7.

Block address loading is accomplished in two cycles initiated by an Erase Setup command(60h). Only address A14 to A23 is valid while A9 to A13 is ignored. The Erase Confirm command(D0h) following the block address loading initiates the internal erasing process. This two-step sequence of setup followed by execution command ensures that memory contents are not accidentally erased due to external noise conditions. At the rising edge of WE after the erase confirm command input, the internal write controller handles erase and erase-verify. When the erase operation is completed, the Write Status Bit(I/O 0) may be checked. Figure 8 details the sequence. Figure 8. Block Erase Operation tBERS R/B I/O 0~7 60h Address Input(2Cycle) I/O0 70h D0h Pass Block Add. : A9 ~ A23 Fail READ STATUS The device contains a Status Register which may be read to find out whether program or erase operation is completed, and whether the program or erase operation is completed successfully. After writing 70h command to the command register, a read cycle outputs the content of the Status Register to the I/O pins on the falling edge of CE or RE, whichever occurs last. This two line control allows the system to poll the progress of each device in multiple memory connections even when R/B pins are common-wired. RE or CE does not need to be toggled for updated status. Refer to table 2 for specific Status Register definitions. The command register remains in Status Read mode until further commands are issued to it. Therefore, if the status register is read during a random read cycle, a read command(00h or 50h) should be given before sequential page read cycle. Table2.

Two read cycles sequentially output the manufacture code(ECh), and the device code (73h) respectively. The command register remains in Read ID mode until further commands are issued to it. Figure 9 shows the operation sequence. Figure 9. Read ID Operation CLE tCR CE WE tAR1 ALE RE I/O0~7 tREADID 90h 00h ECh Address. 1cycle Maker code 73h Device code RESET The device offers a reset feature, executed by writing FFh to the command register. When the device is in Busy state during random read, program or erase mode, the reset operation will abort these operations. The contents of memory cells being altered are no longer valid, as the data will be partially programmed or erased. The command register is cleared to wait for the next command, and the Status Register is cleared to value C0h when WP is high. Refer to table 3 for device status after reset operation. If the device is already in reset state a new reset command will not be accepted by the command register. The R/B pin transitions to low for tRST after the Reset command is written. Reset command is not necessary for normal operation. Refer to Figure 10 below. Figure 10. RESET Operation tRST R/B I/O0~7 FFh Table3. Device Status Operation Mode After Power-up After Reset Read 1 Waiting for next command 24 K9F2808U0A-YCB0, K9F2808U0A-YIB0 FLASH MEMORY READY/BUSY The device has a R/B output that provides a hardware method of indicating the completion of a page program, erase and random read completion. The R/B pin is normally high but transitions to low after program or erase command is written to the command register or random read is started after address loading. It returns to high when the internal controller has finished the operation. The pin is an open-drain driver thereby allowing two or more R/B outputs to be Or-tied. An appropriate pull-up resister is required for proper operation and the value may be calculated by the following equation. Rp VCC VCC(Max.) - VOL(Max.) Rp = R/B open drain output IOL +IL 3.2V = 8mA + IL where IL is the sum of the input currents of all devices tied to the R/B pin. GND Device DATA PROTECTION The device is designed to offer protection from any involuntary program/erase during power-transitions. An internal voltage detector disables all functions whenever Vcc is below about 2V. WP pin provides hardware protection and is recommended to be kept at VIL during power-up and power-down as shown in Figure 11. The two step command sequence for program/erase provides additional software protection. Figure 11.
