SDIO/SD Memory/MMC Host Controller IP Core
The SDIO/SD Memory/MMC Host Controller IP Core is a host controller for SD memory card, SDIO and MMC interface. The core connects the host CPU of the system to the SD card socket.
SD memory and SDIO are low cost, high speed interfaces designed for removable mass storage and IO devices. It is a very flexible architecture supporting variable clock rate from 0 to 25Mhz and data width of 1 to 4 bits. A data rate of up to 12.5Mbyte/sec (100Mbs) can be realized with SD interface. Features such as plug and play, auto-detection, error correction, write protection are standard with SD card interface.
The SDIO/SD Memory/MMC Host Controller IP Core is designed according to the SD Association’s SD host controller specification. The core presents a very simple view of the SD card to the system software. All access to the SD card are made through the standard control register set. DMA, burst access, CRC error detection, interrupt, timing, etc. are supported by the controller core. Because of the standard register set, the SDIO/SD Memory/MMC Host Controller IP Core can be used to replace other existing SD controllers with no change to system software.
There are several options for user hardware interface to the controller core. The controller supports generic user interface optimized for on-chip logic interface as well as embedded CPU interface such as AMBA AHB bus. To access the SD card, the host CPU simply issue read/write access to the control registers in the core. The controllers core handles all the SD card protocol automatically including data shifting, timing and CRC generation. The core has a built-in DMA controller so that data can be automatically transferred between the system and the SD card without CPU intervention.
