hi, i want to know the difference between NOR and NAND

in flash design , these two type have disadvantage and disadvantage ,can some one show me which is better for flash read and write speed??
thanks very much
 

For basic NAND flash and NOR flash here is a little summary

NOR :
Slow Write and Slow Erase....
Must Erase full block before write any single word into that block

Fast read :
Full asynch (allow radmon read of any single word into the memory)
Page read (asynchronous contiguous word read)
Burst read (synchronous fast read for contiguous words)

Usage : general for Code XIP (Execution in place)

NAND :

Fast write

allow only full page read (generaly 512 bytes)
We can find spare bytes in page (to improve Logical block, wearleveling and ECC)

Usage : generaly used for storage capability (mp3, jpg and so on)
 

Here is a doc I got from Toshiba a while ago.

hi

Nand is very best than Nor Gates Because in nand electron mobility is 2.5 times greater than nor gate
 

2 gate Nand's are the building blocks for pretty much all modern processors so says my professor and so every schematic we draw must be in 2 gate nand. i hate them!!

just my 2 cents
 

It is two basic flash version:
Nor mostly use in 0-8Mbyte,and NAND use in 8-....
Nor is faster read speed than nand,but slower in write.
nand falsh almost use in store disk.
 

Renesas released AND flash, it's more fast than NAND in write, and it can be used in MP3 or Camera etc.
 

NAND Flash typically have invalid blocks
(e.g. SAMSUNG K9K2GXXX0M, K9W4GXXU1M - 30 blocks)
and you must exclude them from read/write ops. by
some algorythms.

NAND - main for stream application (music, voice storage, etc.)

NOR Flash havn`t this trouble.
