Product details
Overview
NAND512R3A2BZA6E from STMicroelectronics is a 512 Mbit (64 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 high-density non-volatile memory with ECC-compatible architecture.
For engineers reviewing the NAND512R3A2BZA6E datasheet, NAND512R3A2BZA6E pinout, NAND512R3A2BZA6E application, or NAND512R3A2BZA6E equivalent, key selection criteria include page/block geometry, VDD tolerance (1.7–1.95 V), Ready/Busy open-drain timing, Copy Back Program capability, and TSOP48 mechanical compatibility with legacy 48-pin socket designs.
Technical Context
This device implements a standard NAND interface with multiplexed I/O0–I/O7 address/data bus, AL/CL control signals, and asynchronous command execution. It uses floating-gate NAND cell architecture with on-chip P/E/R controller managing program, erase, and status register operations.
Page-level random access time is ≤12 µs; sequential read speed is ≥50 ns; typical page program time is 200 µs; and block erase time is 2 ms. The Ready/Busy signal indicates internal controller activity, and the Write Protect pin disables all program/erase commands during power transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 512 Mbit (64 MB) organized as 4,096 blocks × 64 pages × 528 bytes/page |
| Bus Width | x8 interface with multiplexed I/O0–I/O7 for address/data transfer |
| Supply Voltage | VDD = 1.7 V to 1.95 V - requires tight regulation for reliable program/erase cycling |
| Page Size | 528 bytes (512 data + 16 spare) - spare area reserved for ECC metadata and bad block markers |
| Block Size | 16,384 bytes (16 KB) including 512-byte spare - minimum erasable unit for wear leveling |
| Page Program Time | 200 µs typical - determines sustained write throughput in buffered host systems |
| Block Erase Time | 2 ms typical - enables fast background garbage collection in managed NAND firmware |
Pinout & Package
TSOP48 (12 × 20 mm), 0.5 mm pitch, standard JEDEC-compliant thin small-outline package with gull-wing leads. Compatible with automated SMT placement and reflow profiles for lead-free assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| I/O0–I/O7 | Multiplexed Address/Data Bus | Carries column/row addresses during AL/CL assertion; transfers data during read/write cycles |
| AL | Address Latch Enable | Strobes lower-order address bits into internal latch when low; controls address setup timing |
| CL | Command Latch Enable | Latches command codes (e.g., 0x00, 0x30, 0x60) into instruction register on falling edge |
| E | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; "don't care" option allows simplified microcontroller interfacing |
| R | Read Enable | Controls output enable of I/O pins during read operations; defines data hold time window |
| W | Write Enable | Strobes data/command/address into device on falling edge; synchronizes internal state machine |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock preventing accidental program/erase during power ramp or reset sequences |
| RB | Ready/Busy | Open-drain output indicating P/E/R controller activity; shared bus connection supported |
| VDD | Power Supply | 1.7–1.95 V core supply; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm of pin per datasheet layout rules |
| VSS | Ground | Digital ground reference; separate analog/digital grounding not required for this device |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Copy Back Program Mode | Enables intra-device page relocation without host-side data buffering - reduces firmware complexity in bad block management |
| Automatic Page 0 Read at Power-Up | Loads boot code directly from first page on power-on - eliminates external ROM or boot loader dependency |
| Chip Enable 'Don't Care' Option | Allows E pin to float or tie-high without disabling device - simplifies interface to microcontrollers lacking dedicated chip select |
| Hardware Data Protection | Internal lockout of program/erase during VDD ramp-up/down - prevents corruption during brown-out conditions |
| Electronic Signature Read | Verifies manufacturer ID (0x20), device ID (0xDA), and extended ID (0x20, 0x00) - ensures correct part recognition in multi-die systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NAND Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT29F512G08CBEBBH6-12IT:B | 512 Gbit (64 GB), 3.3V, 4KB page, BGA63 - 100× higher density, different voltage and packaging | Targeted at SSDs and eMMC modules, not embedded boot storage | Select only if migrating to managed NAND architecture with integrated controller |
| TC58NVG2S3ETA00 | 1 Gbit (128 MB), 3.3V, 2KB page, TSOP48 - same package but higher density and incompatible VDD range | Requires level-shifting for 1.8V hosts; lacks automatic Page 0 read feature | Choose only if 1 Gbit capacity is mandatory and power supply can be adjusted to 2.7–3.6 V |
Compared with NAND512R3A2BZA6E, MT29F512G08CBEBBH6-12IT:B offers vastly greater capacity but demands full NAND controller support and BGA rework, while TC58NVG2S3ETA00 provides pin-compatible density scaling at 3.3V - neither replicates the 1.8V boot-capable operation essential for low-power embedded boot loaders.

FAQ
Does NAND512R3A2BZA6E support x16 bus width?
No. NAND512R3A2BZA6E is an x8-only device, confirmed by its part number suffix "R3A" (indicating 1.8V, x8, TSOP48) and datasheet Table 2. It uses I/O0–I/O7 for multiplexed address/data transfer and does not implement I/O8–I/O15 signals. Systems requiring x16 must select alternate part numbers such as NAND512W3A.
What is the function of the "A6E" suffix in the part number?
The "A6E" suffix denotes the specific TSOP48 package variant with industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and lead-free (Pb-free) finish, per STMicroelectronics' ordering scheme in Table 28. It does not indicate revision level or process node - "A6" is the package code, "E" confirms RoHS compliance.
Can the Ready/Busy (RB) pin drive multiple NAND devices in parallel?
Yes. RB is an open-drain output with no internal pull-up; it supports wired-OR connection of up to 8 devices sharing a single external 10 kΩ pull-up resistor to VDD. This allows centralized status polling in multi-chip NAND arrays without additional logic, as specified in Figure 37 and Section "Ready/Busy Signal Electrical Characteristics".
Is Error Correction Code (ECC) implemented internally?
No. NAND512R3A2BZA6E provides no on-die ECC engine. It relies on external controller or host processor to compute and apply BCH or Hamming codes using the 16-byte spare area per page. ST recommends ≥4-bit ECC for reliable operation over 100,000 P/E cycles, as detailed in Section "SOFTWARE ALGORITHMS" and Table 14.
