SLC NAND

Reliable. High-Performing. Cost Effective.

chip imageFrom boot code to OS code - and many and varied applications in between - SLC NAND still has an important role to play. We're one of the world's largest suppliers of SLC NAND - and one of the few that are committed to continuing to develop and support it long term.

Toshiba's SLC memory chips write large amounts of data at high speed; provide high write/erase cycle endurance; offer support for a wide range of operating temperatures and provide excellent reliability. Our SLC NAND provides the cutting-edge endurance and data retention that sensitive or frequently-used data requires. Suited for a wide variety of consumer and industrial applications, our SLC NAND flash is the solution you need to optimize your designs.

We offer SLC NAND flash memory products in a range of densities and multiple package options to meet the diverse requirements of the embedded market.

Produced in our cutting-edge flash factory, our enhanced lineup of value-added SLC NAND products range from mid-capacity models (Between 1Gb and 4Gb) to large capacity models (8Gb or more).1 Toshiba's SLC NAND product line up uses state of the art process technologies of 24nm, 32nm and 43nm, providing greater flexibility of choice and reducing BOM costs for embedded system designers.

  • 24nm - 1Gb, 2Gb, 4Gb, 8Gb, 16Gb, 32Gb, 64Gb, 128Gb
  • 32nm - 4Gb, 8Gb, 16Gb, 32Gb
  • 43nm - 1Gb, 2Gb, 4Gb

Quick tip: NAND vs NOR Flash Memory: Users of existing NOR Flash systems that migrate to SLC NAND will realize cost benefits.

BENAND™ - SLC NAND with ECC

We know that many chipsets and NAND host controllers can't perform error correction using more than 1-bit or 4-bit ECC. We also know that this can make moving to later process nodes cost-prohibitive, so we've designed a solution - BENAND.


BENAND, with its internal ECC engine, is able to maintain reliability comparable to that of raw SLC NAND fabricated at the same process node. If your industrial applications are designed with older host processors that have limited ECC capability, use Toshiba's BENAND to replace them - and reap the benefits of newer NAND technologies. BENAND uses the common NAND interface, allowing it to maintain compatibility with general SLC NAND flash in terms of the command set, device operation, packaging, pin configuration, etc. Therefore, BENAND can easily be used as a replacement for general SLC NAND flash without being concerned about a system's error correction capability. No hardware change is necessary.


Available in 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16Gb densities at 24nm, BENAND extends the product life of your designs built around 1 bit and 4 bit ECC SLC NAND flash devices. As an added bonus - it reduces BOM costs as well.

Serial Interface NAND

If you're working with embedded applications and need something with larger densities than NOR Flash Memory - our Serial Interface NAND fits the bill. And then some. For example, as a NOR replacement for boot code requirements that reach 1Gb or higher, serial Interface NAND provides 3x the cost benefit over NOR.


Perfectly compatible with the popular Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), our Serial Interface NAND can be used in a wide range of consumer and industrial applications, including flat screen TVs, printers, wearable devices, and robots. Hosts that support the SPI interface can now utilize SLC NAND flash memory and take advantage of its low pin count, small package size and large capacity


Our Serial Interface NAND family consists of 6 products; includes three densities (1 gigabit (Gb), 2Gb and 4Gb); a WSON package and two power supply voltages. Because the host does not need to include the ECC function for memory management, Serial Interface NAND optimizes cost and performance.

1 Product density is identified based on the maximum density of memory chip(s) within the product, not the amount of memory capacity available for data storage by the end user. Consumer-usable capacity will be less due to overhead data areas, formatting, bad blocks, and other constraints, and may also vary based on the host device and application.
