NAND Flash Technical Notes
Copy-Back Operation with EDC & Sector Definition for EDC
Generally, copy-back program is very powerful to move data stored in a page without utilizing any external memory. But, if the source
page has one bit error due to charge loss or charge gain, then without EDC, the copy-back program operation could also accumulate
bit errors.
K9K8G08U0M supports copy-back with EDC to prevent cumulative bit errors. To make EDC valid, the page program operation
should be performed on either whole page(2112byte) or sector(528byte). Modifying the data of a sector by Random Data Input
before Copy-Back Program must be performed for the whole sector and is allowed only once per each sector. Any partial
modification smaller than a sector corrupts the on-chip EDC codes.
spare area.
Addressing for program operation
Within a block, the pages must be programmed consecutively from the LSB (least significant bit) page of the block to MSB (most sig-
nificant bit) pages of the block. Random page address programming is prohibited.
Table 2. Definition of the 528-Byte Sector
A 2,112-byte page is composed of 4 sectors of 528-byte and each 528-byte sector is composed of 512-byte main area and 16-byte
