7 pin MM-card special connector at the card | The MultiMedia Card communication is based on serial bus designed to operate in a low voltage range. For compatibility to existing controllers the cards may offer,in addition to the MultiMedia Card mode, an alternate communication protocol which is based on the SPI standard. Pin | Signal | Description |
1 | RSV NC | Not connected or Always “1” (data 3?) |
2 | CMD I/O | Command/Response |
3 | VSS1 S | Supply Voltage Ground |
4 | VDD S | Supply Voltage |
5 | CLK I | Clock |
6 | VSS2 S | Supply Voltage Ground |
7 | DAT0 I/O | PP Data 0 |
- CLK - with each cycle of this signal an one bit transfer on the command and data lines is done. The frequency may vary between 0-20MHz.
- CMD - is a bidirectional command channel used for card initialization and data transfer commands.
- DAT - is a bidirectional data channel. The DAT signal operates in push-pull mode. Only one card or the host is driving this signal at a time.
