Getting Started

This NAND Flash host controller supports 8-bit NAND Flash Interface. It has streaming interface towards user logic for data read and write .The data transfer between the host and NAND flash is carried out using command sequences like Read, Read for Copy Back, Reset, Page Program, Copy-Back Program, Block Erase, Random Data Input, Random Data Output and Read Status. This consists of 2KB data buffer for storing data to be written to NAND Flash and 2KB data buffer for storing read data. NAND Flash Host Controller consists of ECC logic where Hamming code is to correct 1-bit error and detect 2-bit errors. It supports feature of Indentifying factory defined invalid blocks.
