22.3.1 SDIO
adapter
shows a simplified block diagram of an SDIO adapter.
Figure 212. SDIO adapter
The SDIO adapter is a multimedia/secure digital memory card bus master that provides an
interface to a multimedia card stack or to a secure digital memory card. It consists of five
subunits:
●
Adapter register block
●
Control unit
●
Command path
●
Data path
●
Data FIFO
Note:
The adapter registers and FIFO use the AHB bus clock domain (
HCLK/2
). The control unit,
command path and data path use the SDIO adapter clock domain (SDIOCLK).
Adapter register block
The adapter register block contains all system registers. This block also generates the
signals that clear the static flags in the multimedia card. The clear signals are generated
when 1 is written into the corresponding bit location in the SDIO Clear register.

Description
SDIO_CK
Output
MultiMediaCard/SD/SDIO card clock. This pin is the clock from
host to card.
SDIO_CMD
Bidirectional
MultiMediaCard/SD/SDIO card command. This pin is the
bidirectional command/response signal.
SDIO_D[7:0]
Bidirectional
MultiMediaCard/SD/SDIO card data. These pins are the
bidirectional databus.
