8. Functional description
8.1 Level translator
The bidirectional level translator shifts the data between the I/O supply levels of the host
and the memory card. Dedicated direction control signals determine if a command and
data signals are transferred from the memory card to the host (card read mode) or from
the host to the memory card (card write mode). The voltage translator has to support
several clock and data transfer rates at the signaling levels specified in the SD 3.0
standard specification.

8.3 Integrated voltage regulator
The low dropout voltage regulator delivers supply voltage for the voltage translators and
the card-side input/output stages. It has to support 1.8 V and 3 V signaling modes as
stipulated in the SD 3.0 specification. The switching time between the two output voltage
modes is compliant with SD 3.0 specification. Depending on the signaling level at pin
SEL, the regulator delivers 1.8 V (SEL = HIGH) or 2.9 V (SEL = LOW, VSD_REF < 1 V). For
card supply voltage, see Section 8.4.

8.4 Memory card voltage tracking (reference select)
The device can track the memory card supply via pin VSD_REF. This allows achieving
optimum interoperability by perfectly matching input/output levels between voltage
translator and memory card in the 3 V signaling mode. Therefore, the voltage regulator
aims to follow the reference voltage provided at input VSD_REF directly. If tracking of the
memory card supply is not desired, connect pin VSD_REF to ground so the voltage
regulator refers to an integrated voltage reference. For 1.8 V (SEL = HIGH) signaling, the
voltage regulator is referred to the internal reference which is independent of the voltage
at VSD_REF.
8.5 Feedback clock channel
The clock is transmitted from the host to the memory card side. The voltage translator and
the Printed-Circuit Board (PCB) tracks introduce some amount of delay. It reduces timing
margin for data read back from memory card, especially at higher data rates. Therefore, a
feedback path is provided to compensate the delay. The reasoning behind this approach
is the fact that the clock is always delivered by the host, while the data in the timing critical
read mode comes from the card.
8.6 EMI filter
All input/output driver stages are equipped with EMI filters to reduce interferences towards
sensitive mobile communication.
8.7 ESD protection
The device has robust ESD protections on all memory card pins as well as on the VSD_REF
and VSUPPLY pins. The architecture prevents any stress for the host: the voltage translator
discharges any stress to supply ground.
Pins Write Protect (WP) and Card Detection (CD) might be pulled down by the memory
card which has to be detected by the host. Both signals must be HIGH if no card is
inserted. Therefore the pins are equipped with International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) system-level ESD protections and pull-up resistors connected to the
host supply VCCA.

13. Application information
The IP4855CX25 is optimized to connect SD 3.0 and SD 2.0 compatible memory cards to
1.8 V base band/host interfaces. While the internal I/O interface towards the memory card
is supplied by the IP4855CX25 integrated voltage regulator, any connected memory card
has to be supplied from an external source. Using for example DDR50 or SDR50 modes
requires a power supply with up to 400 mA DC current capabilities.
Place IP4855CX25 as close as possible to the card holder to minimize the influence of
trace length on the timing values. The trace length between IP4855CX25 and the card
has a much bigger influence on the timing than the identical length between the host
interface and the IP4855CX25.

One main task of the level translator is to shift the signal within the SD 3.0 specification.
Therefore, the following simulation results show the low impact of the device. Use the
clock feedback channel for a compensation of delay introduced by PCB traces and
IP4855CX25.

13.3 DDR50 mode timing details
The Default-Speed (DS) and High-Speed (HS) modes use 3.3 V signaling and offer a
maximum of 25 MB/s. Besides these modes, IP4855CX25 also supports the SDR12,
SDR25 and DDR50 modes using 1.8 V signaling and up to 50 MB/s.
Especially the DDR50 mode introduces a basic change in the timing behavior of the
SD card interface. The SDR12 and SDR50 modes are similar to the DS and HS modes.
Any delay on all relevant signal lines (as shown in the timing diagram in Figure 10) is
uncritical for SD card write operations as long as the skew between the different signals is
small enough.

In contrast to the write cycle, the read cycle is more complex to analyze and depends on
the IP4855CX25 delay, the maximum delay added by the PCB and the additional setup
time of the SD card.

The same mechanism is triggered on each falling clock edge too, as the DDR50 mode
uses both edges of the clock signal for data transfer.
According to the SD 3.01 physical layer specification, the maximum delay between
CLK_IN (CLK_SD signal) at the SD card and data out from the SD card (DATA[3:0]_SD
out) is 7.0 ns. This value is specified for a load of CL 25 pF.
