1.2 General Description
The Micro Secure Digital (MicroSD) card version 3.0 is fully compliant with the standards
released by the SD Card Association. The Command List supports [Part 1 Physical Layer
Specification Ver3.01 Final] definitions. Card capacities of non-secure area and secure area
support [Part 3 Security Specification Ver3.0 Final]
The MicroSD 3.0 card has a 9-pin interface, designed to operate at a maximum frequency of
208MHz. It can alternate communication protocol between the SD mode and SPI mode. It
performs data error detection and correction with very low power consumption. The Card
capacity could be more than 64GB and up to 2TB in the future with ex-FAT file system, which is
called SDXC (Extended Capacity SD Memory Card). Secure Digital 3.0 cards are one of the
most popular cards today due to its high performance, good reliability and wide compatibility.
1.3 Flash Management
1.3.1 Error Correction Code (ECC)
Flash memory cells will deteriorate with use, which might generate random bit errors in the
stored data. Thus, Viking MicroSD cards apply the BCH ECC Algorithm, which can detect and
correct errors occur during Read process, ensure data been read correctly, as well as protect
data from corruption.
1.3.2 Wear Leveling
NAND Flash devices can only undergo a limited number of program/erase cycles, and in most
cases, the flash media are not used evenly. If some area get updated more frequently than
Datasheet: PSFUSDxxxxCxxxx
Revision A| November 13, 2018
MicroSD Card 3.0
Page 9
others, the lifetime of the device would be reduced significantly. Thus, Wear Leveling technique
is applied to extend the lifespan of NAND Flash by evenly distributing write and erase cycles
across the media.
Viking provides advanced Wear Leveling algorithm, which can efficiently spread out the flash
usage through the whole flash media area. Moreover, by implementing both dynamic and static
Wear Leveling algorithms, the life expectancy of the NAND Flash is greatly improved.
1.3.3 Bad Block Management
Bad blocks are blocks that include one or more invalid bits, and their reliability is not
guaranteed. Blocks that are identified and marked as bad by the manufacturer are referred to as
“Initial Bad Blocks”. Bad blocks that are developed during the lifespan of the flash are named
“Later Bad Blocks”. Viking implements an efficient bad block management algorithm to detect
the factory-produced bad blocks and manages any bad blocks that appear with use. This
practice further prevents data being stored into bad blocks and improves the data reliability.

3.3.3 Power Up Time of Host
Host needs to keep power line level less than 0.5V and more than 1ms before power ramp
up.

Revision A| November 13, 2018

Power On or Power Cycle
Followings are requirements for Power on and Power cycle to assure a reliable MicroSD Card
hard reset.
1. Voltage level shall be below 0.5V
2. Duration shall be at least 1ms.
Power Supply Ramp Up
The power ramp up time is defined from 0.5V threshold level up to the operating supply voltage
which is stable between VDD (min.) and VDD (max.) and host can supply SDCLK.
Followings are recommendations of Power ramp up:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Voltage of power ramp up should be monotonic as much as possible.
The minimum ramp up time should be 0.1ms.
The maximum ramp up time should be 35ms for 2.7-3.6V power supply.
Host shall wait until VDD is stable.
After 1ms VDD stable time, host provides at least 74 clocks before issuing the first
command.
Power Down and Power Cycle
1. When the host shuts down the power, the card VDD shall be lowered to less than
0.5Volt for a minimum period of 1ms. During power down, DAT, CMD, and CLK should
be disconnected or driven to logical 0 by the host to avoid a situation that the operating
current is drawn through the signal lines.
2. If the host needs to change the operating voltage, a power cycle is required. Power cycle
means the power is turned off and supplied again. Power cycle is also needed for
accessing cards that are already in Inactive State. To create a power cycle the host shall
follow the power down description before power up the card (i.e. the card VDD shall be
once lowered to less than 0.5Volt for a minimum period of 1ms).

Notes:
1) S: power supply; I: input; O: output using push-pull drivers; PP: I/O using push-pull drivers;
2) The extended DAT lines (DAT1-DAT3) are input on power up. They start to operate as DAT lines after
SET_BUS_WIDTH command. The Host shall keep its own DAT1-DAT3 lines in input mode, as well,
while they are not used.
3) At power up this line has a 50KOhm pull up enabled in the card. This resistor serves two functions
Card detection and Mode Selection. For Mode Selection, the host can drive the line high or let it be
pulled high to select MicroSD mode. If the host wants to select SPI mode it should drive the line low.
For Card detection, the host detects that the line is pulled high. This pull-up should be disconnected by
the user, during regular data transfer, with SET_CLR_CARD_DETECT (ACMD42) command
