Register Information

Within the card interface six registers are defined: OCR, CID, CSD, RCA, DSR and SCR. These can be accessed only by corresponding commands (see Chapter 4.7). The OCR, CID, CSD and SCR registers carry the card/content specific information, while the RCA and DSR registers are configuration registers storing actual configuration parameters.

1. OCR register

The 32-bit operation conditions register stores the V register includes a status information bit. This status bit is set if the card power up procedure has been finished. The OCR register shall be implemented by the cards which do not support the full operating voltage range of the SD Memory Card bus, or if the card power up extends the definition in the timing diagram.

2. CID Register

The Card IDentification (CID) register is 128 bits wide. It contains the card identification information used during the card identification phase. Every individual flash card shall have a unique identification number. The structure of the CID register is defined in the following paragraphs:

• MID

An 8 bit binary number that identifies the card manufacturer. The MID number is controlled, defined and allocated to a SD Memory Card manufacturer by the SD Group. This procedure is established to ensure uniqueness of the CID register.

• OID

A 2 ASCII string characters that identifies the card OEM and/or the card contents (when used as a distribution media either on ROM or FLASH cards). The OID number is controlled, defined and allocated to a SD Memory Card manufacturer by the SD Group. This procedure is established to ensure uniqueness of the CID register.

• PNM

The product name is a string, 5 ASCII characters long.

• PRV

The product revision is composed of two Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) digits, four bits each, representing an “n.m” revision number. The “n” is the most significant nibble and “m” is the least significant nibble. As an example, the PRV binary value field for product revision “6.2” will be: 0110 0010

• PSN

The Serial Number is 32 bits of binary number.

• MDT

The manufacturing date composed of two hexadecimal digits, one is 8 bit representing the year(y) and the other is four bits representing the month(m). The “m” field [11:8] is the month code. 1 = January. The “y” field [19:12] is the year code. 0 = 2000. As an example, the binary value of the Date field for production date “April 2001” will be: 00000001 0100.

• CRC

CRC7 checksum (7 bits).

3. CSD Register

The Card-Specific Data register provides information on how to access the card contents. The CSD defines the data format, error correction type, maximum data access time, whether the DSR register can be used etc. The programmable part of the register (entries marked by W or E, see below) can be changed by CMD27. The type of the entries in the table below is coded as follows: R= readable, W(1) = writable once, W = multiple writable.
