3.16.2 Invalid Block Replacement Operation

Within its life time, additional invalid blocks may develop with NAND Flash Array memory. Refer to the device's qualification report for the actual data.

The following possible failure modes should be considered to implement a highly reliable system.

In the case of a status read failure after erase or program, a block replacement should be done. Program status failure

during a page program does not affect the data of the other pages in the same block within a SLC partition, while Progrm status failure could contaminate the data of the paired page within a MLC partition. So, users must make sure how software handle the program failure occurrs.
