45.4.12 SD status register
The SD status contains status bits that are related to the SD memory card proprietary
features and may be used for future application-specific usage. The size of the SD Status is
one data block of 512 bits. The contents of this register are transmitted to the SDMMC card
host if ACMD13 is sent (CMD55 followed with CMD13). ACMD13 can be sent to a card in
transfer state only (card is selected).
defines the different entries of the SD status register. The type and clear condition
fields in the table are abbreviated as follows:
Type:
•
E: error bit
•
S: status bit
•
R: detected and set for the actual command response
•
X: detected and set during command execution. The SDMMC card Host must poll the
card by issuing the status command to read these bits
Clear condition:
•
A: according to the card current state
•
B: always related to the previous command. Reception of a valid command clears it
(with a delay of one command)
•
C: clear by read

In the future, the 8 LSBs will
be used to define different
variations of an SD memory
card (each bit will define
different SD types). The 8
MSBs will be used to define
SD Cards that do not comply
with current SD physical
layer specification.
