All card registers are also accessible in SPI Mode. Their format is identical to the format in the 
SD Bus Mode; however, a few fields are not used in SPI Mode. In SPI Mode, the Card Status 
Register has a different, shorter format as well.  Refer to Section 7.4 in the SDA Physical Layer 
Specification, Version 2.00, for more details. 

3.3.1  Card Identification Register  

The Card Identification (CID) Register is 16 bytes long and contains the unique card 
identification number and other informational data.  It is programmed during card content 
programming and cannot be changed by card hosts. 

The following table lists the default configuration of the CID register for SanDisk SD-ROM Cards.  
More information can be found in Section 5.2 of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 
2.00.

3.3.2  Card Specific Data Register 

The Card Specific Data (CSD) Register configuration information is required to access card data.  
The CSD defines the data format, error correction type, maximum data access time, and other 
parameters. The field structures of the CSD Register vary depending on the physical 
specifications and card capacity. The CSD_STRUCTURE field in the CSD Register indicates 
which structure version is used.  All current SanDisk SD-ROM are standard capacity cards and 
so implement CSD Version 1.0 structure. 

The following table provides an overview of the CSD Register.  More field-specific information 
can be found in Table 5-4 (Section 5.3.2) of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 2.00.
