Introduction
The Secure Digital and Multimedia Card Interface (MCI) is an interface between the

•
The MCI adapter block provides all functions specific to the Secure Digital/MultiMedia
memory card, such as the clock generation unit, power management control,
command and data transfer.
•
The APB interface accesses the MCI adapter registers, and generates interrupt and
DMA request signals.
