1 Summary description
The NAND Flash 2112 Byte/ 1056 Word Page is a family of non-volatile Flash memories
that uses NAND cell technology. The NAND04GW3B2B and NAND08GW3B2A have a
density of 4 Gbits and 8 Gbits, respectively . The y operate from a 3V voltage supply. The size
of a Page is 2112 Bytes (2048 + 64 spare).
The address lines are multiplexed with the Data Input/Output signals on a multiplexed x8
Input/Output bus. This interface reduces the pin count and makes it possible to migrate to
other densities without changing the footprint.
Each block can be programmed and erased over 100,000 cycles. To extend the lifetime of
NAND Flash devices it is strongly recommended to implement an Error Correction Code
(ECC).
The device has hardware and software security features:
●A Write Protect pin is available to give a hardware protection against program and
erase operations.
●A Block Locking scheme is available to provide user code and/or data protection.
The device features 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 Program 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 NAND04GW3B2B and NAND08GW3B2A have Cache Program and Cache Read
features which improve the program and read throughputs for large files. During Cache
Programming, the device loads the data in a Cache Register while the previous data is
transferred to the Page Buffer and programmed into the memory array. During Cache
Reading, the device loads the data in a Cache Register while the previous data is
transferred to the I/O Buffers to be read.
The device has the Chip Enable Don’t Care feature, which allows code to be directly
downloaded by a microcontroller, as Chip Enable transitions during the latency time do not
stop the read operation.
The devices have the option of a Unique Identifier (serial number), which allows each device
to be uniquely identified.
The Unique Identifier 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 ST Sales
office.
The device is available in a TSOP48 (12 x 20mm) package. In order to meet environmental
requirements, ST offers the NAND04GW3B2B and NAND08GW3B2A in ECOPACK
®
package. 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. ECOPACK is an ST trademark.

The memory array is made up of NAND structures where 32 cells are connected in series.
The memory array is organized in blocks where each block contains 64 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.
The pages are split into a 2048 Byte main area and a spare area of 64 Bytes. Refer to
Figure 4: Memory Array Organization.
2.1 Bad Blocks
The NAND Flash 2112 Byte/ 1056 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 8.1: Bad Block
Management for more details).
Table 3 shows the minimum number of valid blocks. 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 8: Software algorithms).

See Figure 2: Logic Diagram, and Table 2: 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 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.
3.3 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.

4 Bus operations
There are six standard bus operations that control the memory. Each of these is described
in this section, see Table 4: Bus Op eratio n s, for a summary.
Typically, glitches of less than 5 ns on Chip Enable, Write Enable and Read Enable are
ignored by the memory and do not affect bus operations.
4.1 Command Input
Command Input bus operations are used to give commands to the memory.
The Commands are input on I/O0-I/O7. Commands 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.
See Figure 21 and Table 20 for details of the timings requirements.
4.2 Address Input
Address Input bus operations are used to input the memory addresses.
Addresses are input on I/O0-I/O7. Five bus cycles are required to input the addresses (refer
to Table 5: 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.
See Figure 22 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 23 and 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 lock status, the Electronic Signatureand the Unique Identifier.
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 24 and Table 21 for details of the timings requirements.
15/58
Bus operationsNAND04GW3B2B, NAND08GW3B2A
4.5 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.

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 7.

6 Device operations
The following section gives the details of the device operations.
6.1 Read Memory Array
At Power-Up the device defaults to Read mode. T o enter Read mode from another mode the
Read command must be issued, see Table 7: Commands. Once a Read command is
issued, subsequent consecutive Read commands only require the confirm command code
(30h).
Once a Read command is issued two types of operations are available: Random Read and
Page Read.
6.1.1 Random Read
Each time the Read command is issued the first read is Random Read.
6.1.2 Page Read
After the first Random Read access, the page data (2112 Bytes) are transferred to the Page
Buffer in a time of t
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.
The device can output random data in a page, instead of the consecutive sequential data, by
issuing a Random Data Output command.
The Random Data Output command can be used to skip some data during a sequential
data output.
The sequential operation can be resumed by changing the column address of the next data
to be output, to the address which follows the Random Data Output command.
The Random Data Output command can be issued as many times as required within a
page.
The Random Data Output command is not accepted during Cache Read operations.

6.2 Cache Read
The Cache Read operation is used to improve the read throughput by reading data using
the Cache Register. As soon as the user starts to read one page, the device automatically
loads the next page into the Cache Register.
An Cache Read operation consists of three steps (see Table 7: Commands):
1.One bus cycle is required to setup the Cache Read command (the same as the
standard Read command).
2. Five (refer to Table 5: Address Insertion) bus cycles are then required to input the Start
Address.
3. One bus cycle is required to issue the Cache Read confirm command to start the P/E/R
Controller.
The Start Address must be at the beginning of a page (Column Address = 00h, see Table 6:
Address Definition). This allows the data to be output uninterrupted after the latency time
(t
The Ready/Busy signal can be used to monitor the start of the operation. During the latency
period the Ready/Busy signal goes Low, after this the Ready/Busy signal goes High, even if
the device is internally downloading page n+1.
Once the Cache Read operation has started, the Status Register can be read using the
Read Status Register command.
), see Figure 7: Cache Read Operation.
BLBH1
During the operation, SR5 can be read, to find out whether the internal reading is ongoing
(SR5 = ‘0’), or has completed (SR5 = ‘1’), while SR6 indicates whether the Cache Register
is ready to download new data.
To exit the Cache Read operation an Exit Cache Read command must be issued (see
Table 7: Commands).
If the Exit Cache Read command is issued while the device is internally reading page n+1,
page n will still be output, but not page n+1.

6.3 Page Program
The Page Program operation is the standard operation to program data to the memory
array. Generally, the page is programmed sequentially, however the device does support
Random Input within a page.
It is recommended to address pages sequentially within a given block.
The memory array is programmed by page, however partial page programming is allowed
where any number of Bytes (1 to 2112) can be programmed.
The maximum number of consecutive partial page program operations allowed in the same
page is four. After exceeding this a Block Erase command must be issued before any further
program operations can take place in that page.
6.3.1 Sequential Input
To input data sequentially the addresses must be sequential and remain in one block.
For Sequential Input each Page Program operation consists of five steps (see Figure 8:
Page Program Operation):
1.One bus cycle is required to setup the Page Program (Sequential Input) command (see
Table 7: Commands).
2. Five bus cycles are then required to input the program address (refer to Table 5:
Address Insertion).
3. The data is then loaded into the Data Registers.
4. One bus cycle is required to issue the Page Program confirm command to start the
P/E/R Controller. The P/E/R will only start if the data has been loaded in step 3.
5. the P/E/R Controller then programs the data into the array.
6.3.2 Random Data Input in page
During a Sequential Input operation, the next sequential address to be programmed can be
replaced by a random address, by issuing a Random Data Input command. The following
two steps are required to issue the command:
1.One bus cycle is required to setup the Random Data Input command (see Table 7:
Commands)
2. Two bus cycles are then required to input the new column address (refer to Table 5:
Address Insertion)
Random Data Input can be repeated as often as required in any given page.
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.

6.4 Copy Back Pr ogram
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 Program
operation bit error due to charge loss cannot be detected. For this reason it is recommended
to limit the number of Copy Back Program operations on the same data and or to improve
the performance of the ECC.
The Copy Back Program operation requires four steps:
1.The first step reads the source page. The operation copies all 2112 Bytes from the
page into the Data Buffer. It requires:
–One bus write cycle to setup the command
–5 bus write cycles to input the source page address
–One bus write cycle to issue the confirm command code
2. When the device returns to the ready state (Ready/Busy High), the next bus write cycle
of the command is given with the 5 bus cycles to input the target page address. See
Table 8 for the addresses that must be the same for the source and target page.
3. Then the confirm command is issued to start the P/E/R Controller.
To see the Data Input cycle for modifying the source page and an example of the Copy Back
Program operation refer to Figure 10: Copy Back Program.
A data input cycle to modify a portion or a multiple distant portion of the source page, is
shown in Figure 11: Page Copy Back Program with Random Data Input.

6.5 Cache Program
The Cache Program operation is used to improve the programming throughput by
programming data using the Cache Register. The Cache Program operation can only be
used within one block. The Cache Register allows new data to be input while the previous
data that was transferred to the Page Buffer is programmed into the memory array.
The following sequence is required to perform a Cache Program operation (refer to
Figure 12: Cache Program Operation):
1.First of all the program setup command is issued (one bus cycle to issue the program
setup command then five bus write cycles to input the address), the data is then input
(up to 2112 Bytes) and loaded into the Cache Register.
2. One bus cycle is required to issue the confirm command to start the P/E/R Controller.
3. The P/E/R Controller then transfers the data to thePage Buffer. During this the device
is busy for a time of t
4. Once the data is loaded into the Page Buffer the P/E/R Controller programs the data
into the memory array. As soon as the Cache Registers are empty (after t
Cache program command can be issued, while the internal programming is still
executing.
Once the program operation has started the Status Register can be read using the Read
Status Register command. During Cache Program operations SR5 can be read to find out
whether the internal programming is ongoing (SR5 = ‘0’) or has completed (SR5 = ‘1’) while
SR6 indicates whether the Cache Register is ready to accept new data. If any errors have
been detected on the previous page (Page N-1), the Cache Program Error Bit SR1 will be
set to ‘1', while if the error has been detected on Page N the Error Bit SR0 will be set to '1’.

When the next page (Page N) of data is input with the Cache Program command, t
affected by the pending internal programming. The data will only be transferred from the
Cache Register to the Page Buffer when the pending program cycle is finished and the Page
Buffer is available.
If the system monitors the progress of the operation using only the Ready/Busy signal, the
last page of data must be programmed with the Page Program confirm command (10h).
If the Cache Program confirm command (15h) is used instead, Status Register bit SR5 must
be polled to find out if the last programming is finished before starting any other operations.

6.6 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 13: Block Erase Operation):
1.One bus cycle is required to setup the Block Erase command. Only addresses A18A29 are used, the other address inputs are ignored.
2. Three bus cycles are then required to load the address of the block to be erased. Refer
to Table 6: Address Definition for the bloc k addresses of each device.
3. One bus cycle is required to issue the Block Erase confirm command to start the P/E/R
Controller.
The operation is initiated on the rising edge of write Enable, W
is issued. The P/E/R Controller handles Block Erase and implements the verify process.
During the Block Erase 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. If the operation completed successfully, the Write Status Bit
SR0 is ‘0’, otherwise it is set to ‘1’.

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.

6.8 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 , e ven 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 operation.
The Status Register bi ts are summarized in Table 9: Status Register Bits,. Refer to Table 9:
Status Register Bits in conjunction with the following text descriptions.
6.8.1 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.
6.8.2 P/E/R Controller and Cache Ready/Busy Bit (SR6)
Status Register bit SR6 has two different functions depending on the current operation.
During Cache operations SR6 acts as a Cache Ready/Busy bit, which indicates whether the
Cache Register is ready to accept new data. When SR6 is set to '0', the Cache Register is
busy and when SR6 is set to '1', the Cache Register is ready to accept new data.
During all other operations SR6 acts as a P/E/R Controller bit, which 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).
6.8.3 P/E/R Controller Bit (SR5)
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).
6.8.4 Cache Program Error Bit (SR1)
The Cache Program Error bit can be used to identify if the previous page (page N-1) has
been successfully programmed or not in a Cache Program operation. SR1 is set to ’1’ when
28/58
NAND04GW3B2B, NAND08GW3B2ADevice operations
the Cache Program operation has failed to program the previous page (page N-1) correctly.
If SR1 is set to ‘0’ the operation has completed successfully.
The Cach e Program Error bit is only valid during Cache Program operations, during other
operations it is Don’t Care.
6.8.5 Error Bit (SR0)
The E r r o r 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. The Error
Bit SR0, in a Cache Program operation, indicates a failure on Page N.

7 Data Protection
The device has both hardware and software features to protect against program and erase
operations.
It features a Write Protect, WP
and erase operations. It is recommended to keep WP
down.
In addition, to protect the memory from any involuntary program/erase operations during
power-transitions, the device has an internal voltage detector which disables all functions
whenever V
is below V
DD
The device features a Block Lock mode, which is enabled by setting the Power-Up Read
Enable, Lock/Unlock Enable, PRL, signal to High.
The Block Lock mode has two levels of software protection.
●Blocks Lock/Unlock
●Blocks Lock-down
Refer to Figure 16: Block Protection State Diagram for an overview of the protection
mechanism.
7.1 Blocks Lock
All the blocks are locked simultaneously by issuing a Blocks Lock command (see Table 7:
Commands).
All blocks are locked after power-up and when the Write Protect signal is Low .
Once all the blocks are locked, one sequence of consecutive blocks can be unlocked by
using the Blocks Unlock command.

LKO
Refer to Figure 21: Command Latch AC Waveforms for details on how to issue the
command.
7.2 Blocks Unlock
A sequence of consecutive locked blocks can be unlocked, to allow program or erase
operations, by issuing an Blocks Unlock command (see Table 7: Commands).
The Blocks Unlock command consists of four steps:
●One bus cycle to setup the command.
●Three bus cycles to give the Start Block Address (refer to Table 6: Address Definition,
and Figure 14: Blocks Unlock Operation).
●One bus cycle to confirm the command.
●Three bus cycles to give the End Block Address (refer to Table 6: Address Definition,
and Figure 14: Blocks Unlock Operation).
The Start Block Address must be nearer the logical LSB (Least Significant Bit) than End
Block Ad dress.
32/58
NAND04GW3B2B, NAND08GW3B2AData Protection
If the Start Block Address is the same as the End Block Address, only one block is unlocked.
Only one consecutive area of blocks can be unlocked at any one time. It is not possible to
unlock multiple areas.

7.3 Blocks Lock-Down
The Lock-Down feature provides an additional level of protection. A Locked-down block
cannot be unlocked by a software command. Locked-Down blocks can only be unlocked by
setting the Write Protect signal to Low for a minimum of 100ns.
Only locked blocks can be locked-down. The command has no affect on unlocked blocks.
Refer to Figure 21: Command Latch AC Waveforms for details on how to issue the
command.
7.4 Block Lock Status
In Block Lock mode (PRL High) the Block Lock Status of each block can be checked by
issuing a Read Block Lock Status command (see Table 7: Commands).
The command consists of:
●One bus cycle to give the command code
●Three bus cycles to give the block address

8 Software algorithms
This section gives information on the software algorithms that ST 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 tunnelling 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 15: Program, Erase Times and Program Erase Endurance Cycles 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 ST Microelectronics can provide a File
System OS Native reference software, which supports the basic commands of file
management.
Contact the nearest ST Microelectronics sales office for more details.
8.1 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 1st and 6th Bytes, or 1st
Word,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 17: Bad Block Management Flowchart.
8.2 Block Replacement
Over the lifetime of the device additional Bad Blocks may develop. 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.
Refer to Table 14: Block Failure for the recommended procedure to follow if an error occurs
during an operation.

8.3 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 18: Garbage Collection).
8.4 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-le veling, 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.
8.5 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).
An ECC model is available in VHDL or Verilog. Contact the nearest ST Microelectronics
sales office for more details.

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.
