GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The K9K1208U0A are a 64M(67,108,864)x8bit NAND Flash
Memory with a spare 2,048K(2,097,152)x8bit. 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 200µs and an erase operation can be per-
formed in typically 2ms on a 16K-byte block. Data in the page
can be read out at 60ns cycle time per byte. The I/O pins serve
as the ports for address and data input/output as well as com-
mand inputs. The on-chip write controller automates all pro-
gram 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
K9K1208U0A′s extended reliability of 100K program/erase
cycles by providing ECC(Error Correcting Code) with real time
mapping-out algorithm. The K9K1208U0A-YCB0/YIB0 is an
optimum solution for large nonvolatile storage applications such
as solid state file storage and other portable applications requir-
ing non-volatility.

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
FLASH MEMORY
The K9K1208U0A is a 528Mbit(553,648,218 bit) memory organized as 131,072 rows(pages) by 528 columns. Spare sixteen col-
umns 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 two NAND structures, totaling 8,448 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 mem-
ory array consists of 4,096 separately erasable 16K-byte blocks. It indicates that the bit by bit erase operation is prohibited on the
K9K1208U0A.
The K9K1208U0A has addresses multiplexed into 8 I/O's. 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/O's 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 64M byte physical space requires 26 addresses, thereby requiring four cycles for byte-level addressing: col-
umn address, low row address and high 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 three 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
K9K1208U0A.

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.

PIN DESCRIPTION
Command Latch Enable(CLE)
FLASH MEMORY
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.
The WE must be held high when outputs are activated.
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 t
REA
after the falling edge
of RE which also increments the internal column address counter by one.
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.
