CHAPTER 1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The GL823 is a USB 2.0 SD/MMC Flash Card Reader single chip. It supports USB 2.0 high-speed transmission
to Secure DigitalTM (SD), SDHC, SDXC, miniSD, microSD (T-Flash), MultiMediaCardTM (MMC), RS-MMC,
MMCmicro, MMCmobile on one chip. As a single chip solution for USB 2.0 flash card reader, the GL823
complies with Universal Serial Bus specification rev. 2.0, USB Storage Class specification ver.1.0, and
SD/MMC card interface specification.
The GL823 integrates a high speed 8051 microprocessor and a high efficiency hardware engine for the best data
transfer performance between USB and flash card interfaces. Its’ pin assignment design fits to card sockets to
provide easier PCB layout. Inside the chip, it integrates 5V to 3.3V and 3.3V to 1.8V regulators and power
MOSFETs and it enables the function of on-chip clock source (OCCS) which means no external 12MHz XTAL
is needed and that effectively reduces the total BOM cost.

4.1 OCCS USB PHY
The USB 2.0 Transceiver Macrocell is the analog circuitry that handles the low level USB protocol and signaling,
and shifts the clock domain of the data from the USB 2.0 rate to one that is compatible with the general logic. On
chip clock source and no need of 12MHz Crystal Clock input.
4.2 SIE
The Serial Interface Engine, which contains the USB PID and address recognition logic, and other sequencing
and state machine logic to handle USB packets and transactions.
4.3 EPFIFO
Endpoint FIFO includes Control FIFO (FIFO0), interrupt FIFO (FIFO3), Bulk In/Out FIFO (BULKFIFOA/B)
Control FIFO
FIFO of control endpoint 0. It is 64-byte FIFO and used for endpoint 0 data transfer.
Interrupt FIFO
64-byte depth FIFO of endpoint 3 for status interrupt
Bulk In/Out FIFO It can be in the TX mode or RX mode:
1. It contains ping-pong FIFO (512 bytes each bank) for transmit/receive data continuously.
2. It can be directly accessed by uC
