Functional Description
18.3.10 Auto Command 12 Timings
With the UHS definition of SD cards with higher frequency for MMC clocks up to 208, SD standard
imposes a specific timing for Auto CMD12 "end bit" arrival.
18.3.10.1 Auto Command 12 Timings During Write Transfer
A margin named Ncrc in range of 2 to 8 cycles has been defined for SDR50 and SDR104 card
components for write data transfers, as auto command 12 'end bit' shall arrive after the CRC status "end
bit".
shows auto CMD12 timings during write transfer.
Figure 18-27. Auto CMD12 Timing During Write Transfer
The Host controller has a margin of 18 clock cycles to make sure that auto CMD12 'end bit' arrives after
the CRC status. This margin does not depend on MMC bus configuration, DDR or standard transfer, 1,4
or 8 bus width.
