• Manufacturer Part Number: k9f1608w0a-tcb0
• Description: 2m X 8 Bit Nand Flash Memory
• Manufacturer: Samsung Semiconductor, Inc.

Error in write or read operation
Over its life time, the additional invalid blocks may occur. Through the tight process control and intensive testing, Samsung mini-
mizes the additional block failure rate, which is projected below 0.1% up until 1million program/erase cycles. Refer to the qualification
report for the actual data.The following possible failure modes should be considered to implement a highly reliable system. In the
case of status read failure after erase or program, block replacement should be done. To improve the efficiency of memory space, it
is recommended that the read or verification failure due to single bit error be reclaimed by ECC without any block replacement. The
said additional block failure rate does not include those reclaimed blocks.

: If program operation results in an error, map out
