General Description
The Secure Digital Industrial Grades provide a high reliable storage media
in a very small space. The simplicity of the SD and SPI protocols allows
easy host design and integration.
The SD Memory Card support high security level of copyright protection
and an easy to implement interface.
STEC’s Industrial Grade SD cards are specifically designed, manufactured
and tested to withstand extreme environmental conditions and to improve
system reliability and endurance.
At the heart of each card there is an advanced microcontroller that
performs elaborate Flash management including 5 Bytes on-the-fly Error
Detection and 4-Bytes Error Correction (EDC/ECC), bad block
management (BBM) and extensive wear leveling. STEC selects the highest
reliability Single Level Cell (SLC) Flash for its superior endurance.
This combination allows achieving 2,000,000 logical program/erase cycles
for 128MB, 256MB, and 512MB capacities, and 300,000 logical
program/erase cycles for 1GB and 2GB capacities.
STEC manufacturing process and test methodology makes the card more
robust and capable to perform at the extreme temperature conditions.
To assure that each card shipped meets the rigorous threshold set by the
OEM customers, each card is extensively tested at STEC's manufacturing
facility to guarantee perfect functionality in extreme conditions. STEC
provides rigorous bill of material control as an additional guarantee for the
customer, ensuring long term product stability and support.

Description
Chip select (“/” indicates low active)
Notes:
1. 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. It is defined so, in order to keep compatibility to MultiMediaCards.
2. After power up the CD line is input with 50KOhm pull-up (can be used for card detection or SPI mode
selection). The pull-up should be disconnected by the user, during regular data transfer, with
SET_CLR_CARD_DETECT (ACMD42) command.
