Product Introduction
The K9F1208X0B is a 528Mbit(553,648,218 bit) memory organized as 131,072 rows(pages) by 528 columns. Spare sixteen columns
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 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. 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 4,096 separately erasable 16K-byte blocks. It indicates that the bit by bit erase operation is pro-
hibited on the K9F1208X0B.
The K9F1208X0B 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. The 64M byte physical space requires 26
addresses, thereby requiring four 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 four address cycles following the required command input. In Block Erase oper-
ation, 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 K9F1208X0B.
The device provides simultaneous program/erase capability up to four pages/blocks. By dividing the memory array into four 128Mbit
separate planes, simultaneous multi-plane operation dramatically increases program/erase performance by 4X while still maintaining
the conventional 512 byte structure.
The extended pass/fail status for multi-plane program/erase allows system software to quickly identify the failing page/block out of
selected multiple pages/blocks. Usage of multi-plane operations will be described further throughout this document.
In addition to the enhanced architecture and interface, the device incorporates copy-back program feature from one page to another
of the same plane without the need for transporting the data to and from the external buffer memory. Since the time-consuming burst-
reading and data-input cycles are removed, system performance for solid-state disk application is significantly increased.
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.
