Micron’s Serial NAND Flash memory is compatible with the widely used, 4-signal SPI standard. Because of its compatibility with a well known, de facto standard,  Serial NAND is an additional option to SPI NOR—and even parallel NOR— in many applications.

The SPI enables serial clock, serial data-in, serial data-out, and chip select commands to be transmitted sequentially on both the rising and falling edges of a clock cycle.

5 Reasons Serial NAND is Right for Embedded Designs

• Higher Density:
  Densities starting at 1Gb make Serial NAND the highest-density serial solution available, allowing for larger BIOS and more embedded features.
• Easy Integration:
  Compatible with the popular SPI standard.
• Performance:
  Best SPI write performance.
• Error Correction:
  On-chip error correction code (ECC) makes implementing Serial NAND easy and enables a greater range of potential applications.
• Software Flexibility:
  Supports parallel NAND drivers for ECC, serial interface, and flash translation layer (FTL) for advanced features.
