Register Information
Within the card interface six registers are defined: OCR, CID, CSD, RCA, DSR and SCR. These can be accessed only
by corresponding commands (see Chapter 4.7). The OCR, CID, CSD and SCR registers carry the card/content
specific information, while the RCA and DSR registers are configuration registers storing actual configuration
parameters.
1. OCR register
The 32-bit operation conditions register stores the V DD voltage profile of the card. In addition, this
register includes a status information bit. This status bit is set if the card power up procedure has
been finished. The OCR register shall be implemented by the cards which do not support the full
operating voltage range of the SD Memory Card bus, or if the card power up extends the definition
in the timing diagram.
A voltage range is not supported if the corresponding bit value is set to LOW. As long as the card is busy, the

corresponding bit (31) is set to LOW.
2. CID Register
The Card IDentification (CID) register is 128 bits wide. It contains the card identification information used during the
card identification phase. Every individual flash card shall have a unique identification number. The structure of the
CID register is defined in the following paragraphs:
• MID
An 8 bit binary number that identifies the card manufacturer. The MID number is controlled, defined and allocated to a
SD Memory Card manufacturer by the SD Group. This procedure is established to ensure uniqueness of the CID
register.
• OID
A 2 ASCII string characters that identifies the card OEM and/or the card contents (when used as a distribution media
either on ROM or FLASH cards). The OID number is controlled, defined and allocated to a SD Memory Card
manufacturer by the SD Group. This procedure is established to ensure uniqueness of the CID register.
• PNM
The product name is a string, 5 ASCII characters long.
•
PRV
The product revision is composed of two Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) digits, four bits each, representing an “n.m”
revision number. The “n” is the most significant nibble and “m” is the least significant nibble.
As an example, the PRV binary value field for product revision “6.2” will be: 0110 0010
•
PSN
The Serial Number is 32 bits of binary number.

•
MDT
The manufacturing date composed of two hexadecimal digits, one is 8 bit representing the year(y)
and the other is four bits representing the month(m).
The “m” field [11:8] is the month code. 1 = January.
The “y” field [19:12] is the year code. 0 = 2000.
As an example, the binary value of the Date field for production date “April 2001” will be:
00000001 0100.
•
CRC
CRC7 checksum (7 bits).
3. CSD Register
The Card-Specific Data register provides information on how to access the card contents. The CSD defines the data
format, error correction type, maximum data access time, whether the DSR register can be used etc. The
programmable part of the register (entries marked by W or E, see below) can be changed by CMD27. The type of the
entries in the table below is coded as follows: R= readable, W(1) = writable once, W = multiple writable.

The following sections describe the CSD fields and the relevant data types. If not explicitly defined otherwise, all bit
strings are interpreted as binary coded numbers starting with the left bit first.
• CSD_STRUCTURE
Version number of the related CSD structure.
•
TAAC
Defines the asynchronous part of the data access time.
