GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The K9F2808X0B is a 16M(16,777,216)x8bit NAND Flash Memory with a spare 512K(524,288)x8bit. The device is offered in 1.8V or
3.3V Vcc. Its NAND cell provides the most cost-effective solution for the solid state mass storage market. A program operation pro-
grams the 528-byte page in typical 200µs and an erase operation can be performed in typical 2ms on a 16K-byte block. Data in a
page can be read out at 70ns/50ns(K9F2808Q0B:70ns, K9F2808U0B: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 write-intensive systems can take
advantage of the K9F2808X0B’s extended reliability of 100K program/erase cycles by providing ECC(Error Correcting Code) with
real time mapping-out algorithm.
The K9F2808X0B is suitable for use in data memory of mobile communication system to reduce not only mount area but also power
consumption.

PIN DESCRIPTION
Pin Name Pin Function
DATA INPUTS/OUTPUTS
I/O0 ~ I/O7 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.
CHIP ENABLE
The CE input is the device selection control. When the device is in the Busy state, CE high is ignored, and
CE
the device does not return to standby mode in program or erase opertion. Regarding CE control during read
operation, refer to ’Page read’ section of Device operation.
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.
WRITE ENABLE
WE The W E input controls writes to the I/O port. Commands, address and data are latched on the rising edge of
the WE pulse.
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 OUTPUT
The R/B output indicates the status of the device operation. When low, it indicates that a program, erase or
R/B
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.

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
The K9F2808X0B is a 132Mbit(138,412,032 bit) memory organized as 32,768 rows(pages) by 528 columns. Spare 16 columns are
located in 512 to 527 column address. 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 like 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. Program and read
operations are executed on a page basis, while erase operation is executed on a block basis. The memory array consists of 1024
blocks, and a block is separately erasable by 16K-byte unit. It indicates that the bit by bit erase operation is prohibited on the
K9F2808X0B.
The K9F2808X0B has addresses multiplexed with 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 Page Program command and Block Erase command which require two cycles: one cycle for setup and another for execution.
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
required command input. In Block Erase operation, however, only two row address cycles are used. Device operations are selected
by writing specific commands into command register. Table 1 defines the specific commands of the K9F2808X0B.
Caution : Any undefined command inputs are prohibited except for above command set of Table 1.

NOTE:
1. Minimum DC voltage is -0.6V on input/output pins and -0.2V on Vcc and VccQ pins. During transitions, this level may undershoot to -2.0V for periods
<20ns. Maximum DC voltage on input/output pins is V CCQ +0.3V which, during transitions, may overshoot to VC C +2.0V for periods <20ns.
2. Permanent device damage may occur if ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS are exceeded. Functional operation should be restricted to the conditions
as detailed in the operational sections of this data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect reliability.

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. The infor-
mation regarding invalid block(s) is so called as the invalid block information. Devices ,regardless of having invalid block(s), have the
same quality level because all valid blocks have same AC and DC characteristics. An invalid block(s) does not affect the perfor-
mance of valid block(s) because it’s bit line and common source line is isolated by a select transistor. The system design must be
able to mask out 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.

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 actual
data. The following possible failure modes should be considered to implement a highly reliable system. In the case of status read fail-
ure 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 mem-
ory space, we recommend using ECC without any block replacement in read or verification failure due to single bit error case. Th e
said additional block failure rate does not include those reclaimed blocks.

Pointer Operation of K9F2808X0B
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, starting column address can be set to somewhere of a whole
page(0~527byte). ’00h’ or ’50h’ is sustained until another address pointer command is entered. But, ’01h’ command is effective only
for one time operation. After any operation of Read, Program, Erase, Reset, Power_Up following ’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 entered 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 entered right before ’80h’ command is written.

System Interface Using CE don’t-care.
For an easier system interface, CE may be inactive during 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 read-
ing would provide significant saving in power consumption.

DEVICE OPERATION
PAGE READ
Upon initial device power up, the device status is initially Read1 command(00h) latched. 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 fol-
lowing page read operation. Two types of operation are available : random read, serial page 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
10µ s(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 by sequential RE pulse of 70ns/50n(K9F2808Q0B:70ns,
K9F2808U0B:50ns) period cycle. High to low transitions of the RE clock take out the data from the selected column address up to
the last column address.
Read1 and Read2 commands determine pointer which selects either main area or spare area. The spare area(512 to 527 bytes)
may be selectively accessed by writing the Read2 command. Addresses A0 to A3 set the starting address of spare area while
addresses A4 to A7 are ignored. To move the pointer back to the main area, Read1 command(00h/01h) is needed. Figures 7
through 8 show typical sequence and timing for each read operation.
Figure 7,8 details the sequence.

PAGE PROGRAM
The device is programmed basically on a page basis, but it allows multiple partial page program of one byte or consecutive bytes up
to 528, in a single page program cycle. The number of consecutive partial page program operation within the same page without
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. Page program cycle consists of a serial data loading(up to 528 bytes of data) into the page register, and prog ram of
loaded data into the appropriate cell. Serial data loading can start in 2nd half array by moving pointer. About the pointer operation,
please refer to the attached technical notes. Serial data loading is executed by entering the Serial Data Input command(80h) and
three cycle address input and then serial data loading. The bytes except those to be programmed need not to be loaded. The Page
Program confirm command(10h) initiates the programming process. Writing 10h alone without previously entering 80h will not initi ate
program process. The internal write controller automatically executes the algorithms and timings necessary for program and verif ica-
tion, 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 out-
put, 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 completed, the Write Status Bit(I/O 0) may be checked(Figure 9). The internal write verifi-
cation detects only errors for "1"s that are not successfully programmed to "0"s. The command register remains in Read Status com-
mand mode until another valid command is written to the command register.
Figure 9 details the sequence.

BLOCK ERASE
The Erase operation is done on a block(16K Bytes) basis. Block Erase is executed by entering Erase Setup command(60h) and 2
cycle block addresses and Erase Confirm command(D0h). Only address A14 to A23 is valid while A9 to A13 is ignored. This two-
step sequence of setup followed by execution command ensures that memory contents are not accidentally erased due to external
noise condition. At the rising edge of WE after erase confirm command input, internal write controller handles erase and erase-veri-
fication. When the erase operation is completed, the Write Status Bit(I/O 0) may be checked.

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 command register, a read cycle takes out
the content of the Status Register to the I/O pins on the falling edge of CE or RE. 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 tog-
gled for updated status. Refer to table 3 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(00 h 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
00h. 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.

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 W P is high. Refer to table 4 for device status after reset operation. If the device is
already in reset state, 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 12 below.

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 reg-
ister or random read is started after address loading. It returns to high when the internal controller has finished the operatio n. 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 13). Its value c an be
determined by the following guidance.

Data Protection & Powerup 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/2V(K9F2808Q0B:1.1V, K9F2808U0B:2V). WP pin provides hardware pro-
tection and is recommended to be kept at VIL during power-up and power-down and recovery time of minimum 1µs is required
before internal circuit gets ready for any command sequences as shown in Figure 14. The two step command sequence for program/
erase provides additional software protection.
