A. General Description

The MMC Plus is fully compliant to the MMC Memory Card Specification version

4.0. It provides the highest level of performance for MMC-supported consumer electronic

devices.

MMC Plus card supports 16~512MB of NAND flash memory and is capable for storing up

to 2GB of data. The MMC Plus card is based on an advanced 13-pin interface, designed

to operate at a maximum operating frequency of 52MHz. The MMC Plus card support

voltage range from 2.7V to 3.6V. MMC Plus card can alternate communication protocol

between MMC mode or SPI mode. It performs data error detection and correction with

very low power consumption.

MMC Plus card is one of the most popular cards today based on its high performance,

good reliability and wide compatibility.

B. Features

Support MMC system specification version 4.0 Backward compatible with

previous MultiMediaCard system (1bit data bus,

multi-card system). Support Capacity : 16MB / 32MB / 64MB / 128MB / 256MB /

512MB / 1GB / 2GB Designed for read-only, read/write storage cards. Support

MMC SPI mode Erase, Write protection and Lock card supported. Support

variable clock frequencies 0 - 20MHz, 0 - 26MHz, 0 - 52 MHz. Card support for three

different data bus width mode: 1bit, 4bit and 8bit. High performance [refer to the

speed test]. System Voltage(VDD) Range：

High Voltage MultiMedia Card

Communication 2.7V~3.6V
Memory Access 2.7V~3.6V

ECC circuits to protect data communication. Low power consumption for portable

device. +4KV/-4KV ESD protection in contact pads. MMC Plus Dimension : 32mm(L)

x 24mm(W) x 1.4mm(H)

E. HardWare Interface

The MultiMediaCard bus has 10 communication lines and three supply lines:

u CMD: Command is a bidirectional signal. The host and card drivers are operating in two

modes, open drain and push pull.

u DAT0~7: Data lines are bidirectional signal. Host and card drivers are operating in push

pull mode.

u CLK: Clock is a host to card signal. CLK operates in push pull mode.

u VDD: VDD is the power supply line for all cards.

u VSS1, VSS2 are two ground lines.
