GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Offered in 32Mx8bit , the K9F5608X0D is 256M bit with spare 8M bit capacity. The device is offered in 1.8V, 2.65V, 3.3V Vcc. Its
NAND cell provides the most cost-effective solutIon for the solid state mass storage market. A program operation can be performed
in typical 200µs on a 528-byte page and an erase operation can be performed in typical 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
input. The on-chip write control 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 K9F5608X0D′s extended reliability of
100K program/erase cycles by providing ECC(Error Correcting Code) with real time mapping-out algorithm.
The K9F5608X0D 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.

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
The K9F5608X0D is a 264Mbit(276,824,064 bit) memory organized as 65,536 rows(pages) by 528 columns. Spare eight columns are
located from column address of 512~527. 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 two NAND structured strings. A NAND structure consists of 16 cells. Total 135168 NAND cells reside in a block. The array organization is shown in
Figure 2-1. 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 2048 separately erasable 16K-Byte blocks. It indicates that the bit by bit erase operation is prohibited
on the K9F5608X0D.
The K9F5608X0D has addresses multiplexed into 8 I/Os. This scheme dramatically reduces pin counts while providing high performance and allows systems 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
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, Read command, Status Read command, etc require just one cycle bus.
Some other commands like Page Program and Copy-back Program and Block Erase, require two cycles: one cycle for setup and the
other cycle for execution. The 32M-byte physical space requires 24 addresses, thereby requiring three cycles for word-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 K9F5608X0D.
The device includes one block sized OTP(One Time Programmable), which can be used to increase system security or to provide
identification capabilities. Detailed information can be obtained by contact with Samsung.

NAND Flash Technical Notes
Initial Invalid Block(s)
Initial invalid blocks are defined as blocks that contain one or more initial invalid bits whose reliability is not guaranteed by Samsung.
The information regarding the initial invalid block(s) is so called as the initial invalid block information. Devices with initial invalid
block(s) have the same quality level as devices with all valid blocks and have the same AC and DC characteristics. An initial 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 guaranteed to be a valid block, does not require Error Correction
Identifying Initial Invalid Block(s)
All device locations are erased(FFh) except locations where the initial invalid block(s) information is written prior to shipping. The
initial 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
initial invalid block has non-FFh data at the column address of 517. Since the initial 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 initial
invalid block(s) based on the initial invalid block information and create the initial invalid block table via the following suggested flow
chart(Figure 3). Any intentional erasure of the initial invalid block information is prohibited.

NAND Flash Technical Notes (Continued)
Error in write or read operation
Within 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. 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. In case of Read, ECC must be
employed. 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.

Pointer Operation of K9F5608X0D(X8)
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

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.

System Interface Using CE don’t-care.
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
ing would provide significant savings in power consumption.

DEVICE OPERATION
PAGE READ
Upon initial device power up, the device defaults to Read1 mode. 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. Two types of operations are available : random read, serial page read.
The random read mode is enabled when the page address is changed. The 528 byte of data within the selected page are transferred
to the data registers in less than 15µs(t

PAGE PROGRAM
The device is programmed basically on a page basis, but it does allow multiple partial page programing of a byte/word or consecutive
bytes/words up to 528, in a single page program cycle. 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. 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 words 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 system controller for other tasks. Once the program process starts, the Read Status Register command may be
entered, with RE
itoring the R/B
while programming is in progress. When the Page Program is complete, the Write Status Bit(I/O 0) may be checked(Figure 10). 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.
and CE low, to read the status register. The system controller can detect the completion of a program cycle by mon-
output, or the Status bit(I/O 6) of the Status Register. Only the Read Status command and Reset command are valid

COPY-BACK PROGRAM
The copy-back program is configured to quickly and efficiently rewrite data stored in one page within the array to another page within
the same array without utilizing an external memory. Since the time-consuming sequently-reading and its 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 is a sequential execution
of page-read without burst-reading cycle and copying-program with the address of destination page. A normal read operation with
"00h" command with the address of the source page moves the whole 528bytes data into the internal buffer. As soon as the Flash
returns to Ready state, copy-back programming command "8Ah" may be given with three address cycles of target page followed. The
data stored in the internal buffer is then programmed directly into the memory cells of the destination page. Once the Copy-Back Program is finished, any additional partial page programming into the copied pages is prohibited before erase. Since the memory array is
internally partitioned into two different planes, copy-back program is allowed only within the same memory plane. Thus, A14, the
plane address, of source and destination page address must be the same."When there is a program-failure at Copy-Back opera-
tion, error is reported by pass/fail status. But if the soure page has a bit error for charge loss, accumulated copy-back
operations could also accumulate bit errors. For this reason, two bit ECC is recommended for copy-back operation."

BLOCK ERASE
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 A
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.

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
the system to poll the progress of each device in multiple memory connections even when R/B
does not need to be toggled for updated status. Refer to table 4 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.

READ ID
The device contains a product identification mode, initiated by writing 90h to the command register, followed by an address input of

RESET
The device offers a reset feature, executed by writing FFh to the command register. When the device is in Busy state during random

Data Protection & Power up sequence
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), 1.8V(2.65V device), 2V(3.3V device). WP
ware protection and is recommended to be kept at V
required before internal circuit gets ready for any command sequences as shown in Figure 16. The two step command sequence for
program/erase provides additional software protection.
IL during power-up and power-down and recovery time of minimum 10µs is
