Product details
Overview
NAND128W3A0AN6 from STMicroelectronics is a 128 Mbit (16 MB) x8 NAND Flash memory with 1.8V supply, 528-byte page size (512 data + 16 spare), 16 KB block size (16K + 512 spare), and TSOP48 package. It supports automatic Page 0 read at power-up for boot code loading and features hardware write protection via WP pin. Used in embedded storage modules requiring reliable, low-voltage non-volatile memory.
For engineers reviewing the NAND128W3A0AN6 datasheet, NAND128W3A0AN6 pinout, NAND128W3A0AN6 application, or NAND128W3A0AN6 equivalent, key selection criteria include 1.8V operation, TSOP48 footprint compatibility, Page 0 auto-read boot capability, and support for Copy Back programming to manage bad blocks without external buffering.
Technical Context
This device implements a standard NAND interface with multiplexed I/O0–I/O7 for address/data transfer, AL/CL control signals, and open-drain RB output for P/E/R controller status monitoring. Its architecture supports sequential and random access modes with 50 ns min sequential read timing and 12 µs max random access latency.
The memory array is organized into 1,024 blocks of 32 pages each (32,768 pages total), with built-in electronic signature and status register (SR0–SR7) for error detection, write protection, and operation completion reporting. Chip Enable 'Don't Care' mode simplifies microcontroller interfacing by eliminating CE assertion timing constraints during command/address/data cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 128 Mbit (16 MB) usable capacity with x8 bus interface |
| Supply Voltage | 1.8V nominal (1.7–1.95V range); enables low-power portable and battery-operated designs |
| Page Size | 528 bytes (512 data + 16 spare); spare area stores ECC metadata and block management info |
| Block Size | 16,384 bytes (16 KB) + 512-byte spare; defines minimum erase granularity and wear-leveling unit |
| Page Program Time | 200 µs typical; determines write throughput in page-aligned firmware updates |
| Block Erase Time | 2 ms typical; enables fast reconfiguration of storage partitions during field upgrades |
| Data Retention | 10 years at 25°C; ensures long-term reliability in industrial logging and firmware storage |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles per block; requires wear-leveling algorithm implementation in host controller |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSOP48 (12 × 20 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), JEDEC-standard thin small-outline plastic package compatible with automated SMT assembly and legacy PCB footprints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| I/O0–I/O7 | Multiplexed Data/Address Bus | Carries command, address, and data bytes sequentially; reduces pin count vs parallel interface |
| AL (Address Latch Enable) | Address Capture Control | Latches column/row address bits during address phase; synchronizes with CL for command decoding |
| CL (Command Latch Enable) | Command Capture Control | Latches command codes (e.g., 00h, 30h, 60h) to initiate read/write/erase operations |
| E (Chip Enable) | Device Selection | Active-low enable; supports 'Don't Care' mode to simplify timing when interfacing with slow microcontrollers |
| R (Read Enable) | Read Strobe | Controls data output timing during read cycles; used with RB signal to avoid bus contention |
| W (Write Enable) | Write Strobe | Validates data/command/address writes on rising edge; coordinates with AL/CL for cycle sequencing |
| WP (Write Protect) | Hardware Lock | Prevents accidental program/erase during power transitions; active-low, tied high for normal operation |
| RB (Ready/Busy) | Open-Drain Status Output | Signals P/E/R controller activity; allows wired-OR connection of multiple NAND devices to single MCU interrupt line |
| VDD | Power Supply | 1.8V core supply (1.7–1.95V); decoupling required near pin to suppress switching noise |
| VSS | Ground Reference | Digital ground return path; must be low-impedance and separated from analog/power grounds |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Page 0 Read at Power-Up | Enables boot code execution directly from NAND without external ROM or initialization firmware |
| Copy Back Program Mode | Permits intra-device page relocation without host-side data buffering-reduces system RAM overhead during bad-block remapping |
| Chip Enable 'Don't Care' Option | Eliminates strict CE timing requirements during command/address/data phases-simplifies glueless interface with 8-bit MCUs |
| Hardware Write Protection | Physically blocks program/erase during power ramp-up/down-prevents corruption during brown-out conditions |
| Electronic Signature & Status Register | Allows runtime identification and real-time monitoring of write-protection state, P/E/R progress, and error flags (SR0) |

FAQ
Does NAND128W3A0AN6 support x16 bus width?
No. NAND128W3A0AN6 is an x8 device with I/O0–I/O7 pins only. The 'W' in the part number denotes 1.8V operation and TSOP48 package; x16 variants use different suffixes (e.g., 'R') and have distinct pinouts and timing specifications.
What is the function of the AL and CL pins?
AL (Address Latch Enable) captures row/column address bits during address input phases, while CL (Command Latch Enable) latches command opcodes (e.g., 00h for read, 60h for erase). Both are essential for proper command decoding and memory addressing in the multiplexed NAND interface.
Can the Ready/Busy (RB) pin drive multiple NAND devices?
Yes. RB is an open-drain output, allowing multiple NAND128W3A0AN6 devices to share a single pull-up resistor and MCU interrupt line. This enables efficient status polling across stacked or parallel NAND configurations without additional logic.
Is Error Correction Code (ECC) implemented internally?
No. NAND128W3A0AN6 does not include on-die ECC. Host controller must implement external BCH or Hamming ECC-minimum 1-bit correction per 512-byte sector is required to meet the 100,000-cycle endurance specification and ensure data integrity over lifetime.
