GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Offered in 128Mx8bit or 64Mx16bit, the K9F1GXXX0M is 1G bit with spare 32M bit capacity. Its NAND cell provides the most costeffective solution for the solid state mass storage market. A program operation can be performed in typical 300µs on the 2112byte(X8 device) or 1056-word(X16 device) page and an erase operation can be performed in typical 2ms on a 128K-byte(X8 device)
or 64K-word(X16 device) block. Data in the data 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 input. The on-chip write controller automates all program and erase functions
including pulse repetition, where required, and internal verification and margining of data. Even the write-intensive systems can take
advantage of the K9F1GXXX0M′s extended reliability of 100K program/erase cycles by providing ECC(Error Correcting Code) with
real time mapping-out algorithm. The K9F1GXXX0M is an optimum solution for large nonvolatile storage applications such as solid
state file storage and other portable applications requiring non-volatility.
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.
I/O8 ~ I/O15 are used only in X16 organization device. Since command input and address input are x8 operation, I/O8 ~ I/O15 are not used to input command & address. I/O8 ~ I/O15 are used only for data input and
output.

COMMAND LATCH ENABLE
The CLE input controls the activating path 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
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
The CE input is the device selection control. When the device is in the Busy state, CE high is ignored, and
the device does not return to standby mode.
READ ENABLE
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.
WRITE ENABLE
The WE input controls writes to the I/O port. Commands, address and data are latched on the rising edge of
the WE pulse.
WRITE PROTECT
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 OUTPUT
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.
POWER-ON READ ENABLE
The PRE controls auto read operation executed during power-on. The power-on auto-read is enabled when
PRE pin is tied to Vcc.

The K9F1GXXX0M is a 1056Mbit(1,107,296,256 bit) memory organized as 65,536 rows(pages) by 2112x8(X8 device) or
1056x16(X16 device) columns. Spare 64(X8) or 32(X16) columns are located from column address of 2048~2111(X8 device) or
1024~1055(X16 device). A 2112-byte(X8 device) or 1056-word(X16 device) data register and a 2112-byte(X8 device) or 1056word(X16 device) cache register are serially connected to each other. Those serially connected registers are connected to memory
cell arrays for accommodating data transfer between the I/O buffers and memory cells during page read and page program operations. The memory array is made up of 32 cells that are serially connected to form a NAND structure. Each of the 32 cells resides in
a different page. A block consists of the 64 pages formed by two NAND structures, totaling 33792 NAND structures of 32 cells. 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 128K-byte(X8 device) or 64K-word(X16 device) blocks. It indicates that the bit by bit
erase operation is prohibited on the K9F1GXXX0M.
The K9F1GXXX0M has addresses multiplexed into 8 I/Os(X16 device case : lower 8 I/Os). This scheme dramatically reduces pin
counts and allows system upgrades to future densities by maintaining consistency in system board design. Command, address and
data are all written through I/O's by bringing WE to low while CE is low. Those are 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. Some commands require one bus cycle. For example, Reset Command, Status Read Command, etc require just one cycle bus. Some other
commands, like page read and block erase and page program, require two cycles: one cycle for setup and the other cycle for execution. The 128M byte(X8 device) or 64M word(X16 device) physical space requires 28(X8) or 27(X16) addresses, thereby requiring
four cycles for addressing: 2 cycles of column address, 2 cycles of row address, in that order. Page Read and Page Program need
the same four 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 K9F1GXXX0M.
The device provides cache program in a block. It is possible to write data into the cache registers while data stored in data registers
are being programmed into memory cells in cache program mode. The program performace may be dramatically improved by cache
program when there are lots of pages of data to be programmed.
The device embodies power-on auto-read feature which enables serial access of data of the 1st page without command and address
input after power-on.
In addition to the enhanced architecture and interface, the device incorporates copy-back program feature from one page to another
page without need for transporting the data to and from the external buffer memory. Since the time-consuming serial access and
data-input cycles are removed, system performance for solid-state disk application is significantly increased.

Invalid blocks are defined as blocks that contain one or more invalid bits whose reliability is not guaranteed by Samsung. 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 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, which is placed on 00h block address, is fully guaranteed to be a valid block, does not require Error Correction.
Identifying Invalid Block(s)
All device locations are erased(FFh for X8, FFFFh for X16) except locations where the invalid block(s) information is written prior to
shipping. The invalid block(s) status is defined by the 1st byte(X8 device) or 1st word(X16 device) in the spare area. Samsung
makes sure that either the 1st or 2nd page of every invalid block has non-FFh(X8) or non-FFFFh(X16) data at the column address of
2048(X8 device) or 1024(X16 device). 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 3). Any intentional erasure of
the original invalid block information is prohibited.

Within its life time, 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. Because program status fail during a page program does not affect
the data of the other pages in the same block, block replacement can be executed with a page-sized buffer by finding an erased
empty block and reprogramming the current target data and copying the rest of the replaced block.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.

For an easier system interface, CE may be inactive during the data-loading or serial access as shown below. The internal
2112byte(X8 device) or 1056word(X16 device) data registers are utilized as separate 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 serial access would provide significant savings in power consumption.
Upon initial device power up, the device defaults to Read mode. This operation is also initiated by writing 00h and 30h to the command register along with four address cycles. In two consecutive read operations, the second one doesn’t need 00h command,
which five address cycles and 30h command initiates that operation.Two types of operations are available : random read, serial page
read The random read mode is enabled when the page address is changed. The 2112 bytes(X8 device) or 1056 words(X16 device)
of data within the selected page are transferred to the data registers in less than 25µs(tR). The system controller can detect the com-
pletion of this data transfer(tR) by analyzing the output of R/B pin. Once the data in a page is loaded into the data registers, they may
be read out in 50ns cycle time by sequentially pulsing RE. The repetitive high to low transitions of the RE clock make the device output the data starting from the selected column address up to the last column address.
The device may output random data in a page instead of the consecutive sequential data by writing random data output command.
The column address of next data, which is going to be out, may be changed to the address which follows random data output command. Random data output can be operated multiple times regardless of how many times it is done in a page.
The device is programmed basically on a page basis, but it does allow multiple partial page programing of a word or consecutive
bytes up to 2112(X8 device) or words up to 1056(X16 device), in a single page program cycle. The number of consecutive partial
page programming operation within the same page without an intervening erase operation must not exceed 4 times for main
array(X8 device:1time/512byte, X16 device:1time/256word) and 4 times for spare array(X8 device:1time/16byte ,X16 device:1time/
8word). The addressing should be done in sequential order in a block. A page program cycle consists of a serial data loading period
in which up to 2112bytes(X8 device) or 1056words(X16 device) of data may be loaded into the data register, followed by a non-volatile programming period where the loaded data is programmed into the appropriate cell.
The serial data loading period begins by inputting the Serial Data Input command(80h), followed by the four cycle address inputs and
then serial data loading. The words other than those to be programmed do not need to be loaded. The device supports random data
input in a page. The column address of next data, which will be entered, may be changed to the address which follows random data
input command(85h). Random data input may be operated multiple times regardless of how many times it is done in a page.
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 state controller automatically executes the algorithms and timings necessary for program and verify, thereby freeing the system controller for other tasks. Once the program process starts, the
Read Status Register command may be entered to read the status register. The system controller 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 8). 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.
Cache Program is an extension of Page Program, which is executed with 2112byte(X8 device) or 1056word(X16 device) data registers, and is available only within a block. Since the device has 1 page of cache memory, serial data input may be executed while
data stored in data register are programmed into memory cell.
After writing the first set of data up to 2112byte(X8 device) or 1056word(X16 device) into the selected cache registers, Cache Program command (15h) instead of actual Page Program (10h) is inputted to make cache registers free and to start internal program
operation. To transfer data from cache registers to data registers, the device remains in Busy state for a short period of time(tCBSY)
and has its cache registers ready for the next data-input while the internal programming gets started with the data loaded into data
registers. Read Status command (70h) may be issued to find out when cache registers become ready by polling the Cache-Busy status bit(I/O 6). Pass/fail status of only the previouse page is available upon the return to Ready state. When the next set of data is
inputted with the Cache Program command, tCBSY is affected by the progress of pending internal programming. The programming
of the cache registers is initiated only when the pending program cycle is finished and the data registers are available for the transfer
of data from cache registers. The status bit(I/O5) for internal Ready/Busy may be polled to identify the completion of internal programming. If the system monitors the progress of programming only with R/B, the last page of the target programming sequence
must be progammed with actual Page Program command (10h). If the Cache Program command (15h) is used instead, status bit (I/
O5) must be polled to find out when the last programming is actually finished before starting other operations such as read. Pass/fail
status is available in two steps. I/O 1 returns with the status of the previous page upon Ready or I/O6 status bit changing to "1", and
later I/O 0 with the status of current page upon true Ready (returning from internal programming) or I/O 5 status bit changing to "1". I/
O 1 may be read together when I/O 0 is checked.

NOTE : Since programming the last page does not employ caching, the program time has to be that of Page Program. However, if
the previous program cycle with the cache data has not finished, the actual program cycle of the last page is initiated only after completion of the previous cycle, which can be expressed as the following formula.
tPROG= Program time for the last page+ Program time for the ( last -1 )th page
- (Program command cycle time + Last page data loading time)

The copy-back program is configured to quickly and efficiently rewrite data stored in one page without utilizing an external memory.
Since the time-consuming cycles of serial access and re-loading cycles are removed, the system performance is improved. The benefit is especially obvious when a portion of a block is updated and the rest of the block also need to be copied to the newly assigned
free block. The operation for performing a copy-back program is a sequential execution of page-read without serial access and copying-program with the address of destination page. A read operation with "35h" command and the address of the source page moves
the whole 2112byte(X8 device) or 1056word(X16 device) data into the internal data buffer. As soon as the device returns to Ready
state, Page-Copy Data-input command (85h) with the address cycles of destination page followed may be written. The Program
Confirm command (10h) is required to actually begin the programming operation. Data input cycle for modifying a portion or multiple
distant portions of the source page is allowed as shown in Figure 12. "When there is a program-failure at Copy-Back operation,
error is reported by pass/fail status. But, if Copy-Back operations are accumulated over time, bit error due to charge loss is
not checked by external error detection/correction scheme. For this reason, two bit error correction is recommended for
the use of Copy-Back operation."

There is no limitation for the number of repetition.
The Erase operation is done on a block basis. Block address loading is accomplished in two cycles initiated by an Erase Setup command(60h). Only address A18 to A27(X8) or A17 to A26(X16) is valid while A12 to A17(X8) or A11 to A16(X16) 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 13 details the sequence.

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, the read command(00h) should be given before starting read cycles.
The device contains a product identification mode, initiated by writing 90h to the command register, followed by an address input of
00h. Four read cycles sequentially output the manufacturer code(ECh), and the device code and XXh, 4th cycle ID, respectively. The
command register remains in Read ID mode until further commands are issued to it. Figure 14 shows the operation sequence.
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. The R/B pin
transitions to low for tRST after the Reset command is written. Refer to Figure 15 below.

The device is designed to offer automatic reading of the first page without command and address input sequence during power-on.
An internal voltage detector enables auto-page read functions when Vcc reaches about 1.8V. PRE pin controls activation of autopage read function. Auto-page read function is enabled only when PRE pin is tied to Vcc. Serial access may be done after power-on
without latency. Power-On Auto Read mode is available only on 3.3V device(K9F1GXXU0M).
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. Because pull-up resistor value is related to tr(R/B)
and current drain during busy(ibusy) , an appropriate value can be obtained with the following reference chart(Fig 16). Its value can
be determined by the following guidance.

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 1.1V(1.8V device) or 2V(3.3V device). WP pin provides hardware protection and
is recommended to be kept at VIL during power-up and power-down. A recovery time of minimum 10µs is required before internal circuit gets ready for any command sequences as shown in Figure 17. The two step command sequence for program/erase provides
additional software protection.
