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.
K9K8G08U0A 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. In this case, the definition of LSB page is the LSB
among the pages to be programmed. Therefore, LSB doesn’t need to be page 0.
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
