1 SD-ROM Card Overview 1.1 Introduction SanDisk SD-ROM Cards provide permanent and secure read-only data storage for consumer electronic and personal computer applications. SanDisk SD-ROM Cards are based on SanDisk’s unique 3D one-time programmable (OTP) memory devices which safely store data for 100 years. This compares favorably with cards based on flash memory devices, which are typically rated to store data for 10 years or less. And unlike cards based on mask ROM memory devices, Sa

2 SanDisk SD-ROM Card Functional Description SanDisk SD-ROM Cards are compatible with the SD specifications, with some changes necessary for a read-only memory. In an SD host system, the host controls all communication between itself and the cards. For detailed information, refer to Section 4 of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 2.00. This chapter contains the functional description for SanDisk SD-ROM Cards. 2.1 SD Bus Protocol Communication over the SD bus is based on comman

2.7 Card State Transitions SanDisk SD-ROM Cards operate the same as standard SD cards, where the state transition is dependent on the received command along with responses sent on the command line. The transitions are defined in Section 4.8 of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 2.00 In Card Identification Mode, the host operates the card at a slower frequency as it identifies and initializes the card. For more information see Section 4.2 in the SDA Physical Layer Specification

3.3.4 Card Status Register The Card Status Register (CSR) transmits the card's status information to the host. The CSR is defined in Section 4.10.1 in the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 2.00. 3.3.5 SD Status Register The SD Status Register (SSR) contains status bits that are related to the SD Card proprietary features and may be used for future applications. The SD Status structure is described in Section 4.10.2 in the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 2.00. 3.3.6 Rel

connect external pullup resistors to all data lines even if only DAT0 is to be used. Otherwise, non-expected high current consumption may occur due to the floating inputs of DAT1 and DAT2 (in case they are not used). For more details regarding the SD Bus topology, refer to Section 3.5.1 of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 2.00. For more details regarding the SPI Bus topology, refer to Section 3.5.2 of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 2.00. 3.5 Electrical Interf
