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. 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 VDD voltage profile of the card. Additionally, this register
includes status information bits. One status bit is set if the card power up procedure has been finished. This register
includes another status bit indicating the card capacity status after set power up status bit. The OCR register shall be
implemented by the cards. The 32-bit operation conditions register stores the VDD voltage profile of the card. Bit 7 of
OCR is newly defined for Dual Voltage Card and set to 0 in default. If a Dual Voltage Card does not receive CMD8,
OCR bit 7 in the response indicates 0, and the Dual Voltage Card which received CMD8, sets this bit to 1.
Additionally, this register includes 2 more status information bits. Bit 31 - Card power up status bit, this status bit
is set if the card power up procedure has been finished. Bit 30 - Card capacity status bit, this status bit is set to 1 if card
is High Capacity SD Memory Card. 0 indicates that the card is Standard Capacity SD Memory Card. The Card Capacity
status bit is valid after the card power up procedure is completed and the card power up status bit is set to 1. The Host
shall read this status bit to identify a Standard or High Capacity SD Memory Card.
The OCR register shall be implemented by the cards.

OCR Register Definition
1) This bit is valid only when the card power up status bit is set.
2) This bit is set to LOW if the card has not finished the power up routine.
A voltage range is not supported if the corresponding bit value is set to LOW. As long as the card is busy, the
corresponding bit (31) is set to LOW.
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-3C, LLC. This procedure is established to ensure uniqueness of the CID
register.
OID
A 2-character ASCII string 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-3C, LLC. This procedure is established to ensure uniqueness of the CID register.
Note: SD-3C, LLC licenses companies that wish to manufacture and/or sell SD Memory Cards, including but not limited to flash memory,
ROM, OTP, RAM, and SDIO Combo Cards.
SD-3C, LLC is a limited liability company established by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd., SanDisk Corporation and Toshiba
Corporation.
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 “mfield [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 following sections describe the CSD fields and the relevant data types for the High Capacity SD Memory Card.
CSD Version 2.0 is applied to only the High Capacity SD Memory Card. The field name in parenthesis is set to fixed
value and indicates that the host is not necessary to refer these fields. The fixed values enables host, which refers to
these fields, to keep compatibility to CSD Version 1.0. The Cell Type field is coded as follows: R = readable, W(1) =
writable once, W = multiple writable.

Note that for current SD Memory Cards that field must be always 0_0110_010b (032h) which is equal to 25MHz - the
mandatory maximum operating frequency of SD Memory Card.
In High-Speed mode, that field must be always 0_1011_010b (05Ah) which is equal to 50MHz. And when the timing
mode returns to the default by CMD6 or CMD0 command, its value will be 032h.
CCC
The SD Memory Card command set is divided into subsets (command classes). The card command class register
CCC defines which command classes are supported by this card. A value of ‘1’ in a CCC bit means that the
corresponding command class is supported.
READ_BL_LEN
This field is fixed to 9h, which indicates READ_BL_LEN=512 Byte.
READ_BL_PARTIAL
This field is fixed to 0, which indicates partial block read is inhibited and only unit of block access is allowed.
WRITE_BLK_MISALIGN
This field is fixed to 0, which indicates write access crossing physical block boundaries is always disabled in High
Capacity SD Memory Card.

READ_BLK_MISALIGN
This field is fixed to 0, which indicates read access crossing physical block boundaries is always
disabled in High Capacity SD Memory Card.
DSR_IMP
Defines if the configurable driver stage is integrated on the card. If set, a driver stage register (DSR)must be
implemented also.
C_SIZE
This field is expanded to 22 bits and can indicate up to 2 TBytes (It is the same as the maximum memory space
specified by a 32-bit block address.)
This parameter is used to calculate the user data area capacity in the SD memory card (not include the protected area).
The user data area capacity is calculated from C_SIZE as follows: memory capacity = (C_SIZE+1) * 512K byte
As the maximum capacity of the Physical Layer Specification Version 2.00 is 32 GB, the upper 6 bits of this field shall
be set to 0.
ERASE_BLK_EN
This field is fixed to 1, which means the host can erase one or multiple units of 512 bytes.
SECTOR_SIZE
This field is fixed to 7Fh, which indicates 64 KBytes. This value does not relate to erase operation. Version 2.00 cards
indicates memory boundary by AU size and this field should not be used.
WP_GRP_SIZE
This field is fixed to 00h. The High Capacity SD Memory Card does not support write protected groups.
WP_GRP_ENABLE
This field is fixed to 0. The High Capacity SD Memory Card does not support write protected groups.
R2W_FACTOR
This field is fixed to 2h, which indicates 4 multiples. Write timeout can be calculated by multiplying the read access time
and R2W_FACTOR. However, the host should not use this factor and should use 250 ms for write timeout

This field is fixed to 0, which indicates partial block read is inhibited and only unit of block access is allowed.
FILE_FORMAT_GRP
This field is set to 0. Host should not use this field.
COPY
Defines if the contents is original (= ‘0’) or has been copied (=’1’). The COPY bit for OTP and MTP devices, sold to end
consumers, is set to ‘1’ which identifies the card contents as a copy. The COPY bit is an one time programmable bit.
PERM_WRITE_PROTECT
Permanently protects the whole card content against overwriting or erasing (all write and erase commands for this card
are permanently disabled). The default value is ‘0’, i.e. not permanently write protected.
TMP_WRITE_PROTECT
Temporarily protects the whole card content from being overwritten or erased (all write and erase commands for this
card are temporarily disabled). This bit can be set and reset. The default value is ‘0’, i.e. not write protected.
FILE_FORMAT
This field is set to 0. Host should not use this field.
CRC
The CRC field carries the check sum for the CSD contents.
The checksum has to be recalculated by the host for any CSD modification. The default corresponds to the initial CSD
contents.
The following table lists the correspondence between the CSD entries and the command classes. A ‘+’ entry indicates
that the CSD field affects the commands of the related command class.
