Note 1:
TBW (total bytes written) is an index of how many TB (Terabytes) can be used for written under product life time.
The endurance for flash cards can be predicted based on the usage conditions applied to the device, the internal NAND flash cycles,
the write amplification factor, and the wear leveling efficiency of the flash devices. Above TBW is for reference only. Please contact
ATP for TBW in real applications.
1 TeraBytes = 1000 GigaBytes (Disk storage)
Note 2:
MTBF highly depends on testing method. All ATP products are tested with Bellcore Method II (Combines Method I
predictions with laboratory data).

Operation with other functions: Maximum 500 mA
Some functions can be added by CMD6 and SDIO (ex. McEX, ASSD and Combo Card). Host needs to select
functions so that the total current of selected functions shall be up to 500mA. In case of UHS-I card, host
should not select UHS-I mode and the other functions at the same time.

1.6 Electrical Characteristics – Summary of Bus Speed Mode and Maximum Current
The maximum frequency and the maximum current are determined by CMD6.
Table 1-6-1 Bus Speed Modes
*1: The card supports a UHS-I mode shall support all lower UHS-I modes.
*2: Host may control power by the Power Limit function in CMD6.
*3: SDSC stands for SD Standard Capacity Memory Card and
*4: SDHC stands for SD High Capacity Memory Card.
*5: SDXC stands for SD Extended Capacity Memory Card.
*6: The actual maximum current may vary from the limit described in this table. It is limited by the Mechanical Addenda in the
sections that define the thermal profile of the device and the connector profile.
*7: Host may select either maximum power by XPC in ACMD41.
