Description
SDIO Controller 0/1/2 Data: These signals operate
in push-pull mode. The SD card includes internal pull-
up resistors for all data lines. By default, after power-
up, only SDn_DATA0 is used for data transfer. Wider
data bus widths can be configured for data transfer.
SDIO Controller 0/1/2 Command: This signal is
used for card initialization and transfer of commands.
It has two operating modes: open-drain for
initialization mode, and push-pull for fast command
transfer.
SDIO Controller 0/1/2 Clock: With each cycle of this
signal a one-bit ransfer on the command and each
data line occurs.
This signal is generated by Intel SCH at a maximum
frequency of:
24 Mhz for SD and SDIO.
48 Mhz for MMC.
SDIO Controller 0/1/2 Write Protect: These signals
denote the state of the write-protect tab on SD cards.
SDIO Controller 0/1/2 Card Detect: Indicates when
a card is present in an external slot.
