©Copyright 2000-2007 SD Card Association SDIO Simplified Specification Version 2.00 1. General Description The SDIO (SD Input/Output) card is based on and compatible with the SD memory card. This compatibility includes mechanical, electrical, power, signaling and software. The intent of the SDIO card is to provide high-speed data I/O with low power consumption for mobile electronic devices. A primary goal is that an SDIO card inserted into a non-SDIO aware host shall cause no physical

The Full-Speed card supports SPI, 1-bit SD and the 4-bit SD transfer modes at the full clock range of 0-25MHz. The Full-Speed SDIO cards have a data transfer rate of over 100 Mb/second (10 MB/Sec). A second version of the SDIO card is the Low-Speed SDIO card. This card requires only the SPI and 1-bi

SDIO Card Initialization 3.1 Differences in I/O card Initialization A requirement for the SDIO specification is that an SDIO card shall not cause non-I/O aware hosts to fail when inserted. In order to prevent operation of I/O functions in non-I/O aware hosts, a change to the SD card identification mode flowchart is needed. A new command (IO_SEND_OP_COND, CMD5) is added to replace the ACMD41 for

©Copyright 2000-2007 SD Card Association SDIO Simplified Specification Version 2.00 An SDIO aware host sends CMD5 prior to the CMD55/ACMD41 pair, and thus would receive a valid OCR in the R4 response to CMD5 and continue to initialize the card. Figure 3-2 shows the operation of an SDIO aware host operating in the SD modes and Figure 3-3 shows the same operation for a host that operates in the SPI mode. If the I/O portion of a card has received no CMD5, the I/O section remains inactive

The function of CMD5 for SDIO cards is similar to the operation of ACMD41 for SD memory cards. It is used to inquire about the voltage range needed by the I/O card. The normal response to CMD5 is R4 in either SD or SPI format. The R4 response in SD mode is shown in Figure 3-5 and the SPI version i
