Secure Digital (SD) is a non-volatile
memory card format developed for use
in portable devices. It comes in dierent
packages and memory capacities. It is
mostly used for storing large amounts
of data. EasyMx PRO
™
v7 features the
microSD card slot. The microSD form
factor is the smallest card format currently
available. It uses standard SPI user inter-
face with minimum additional electronics,
mainly used for stabilizing communication
lines which can be signicantly distorted
at high transfer rates. Special ferrite is
also provided to compensate the voltage
and current glitch that can occur when
inserting and de-inserting microSD card
into the socket.
Enabling microSD
In order to access microSD card, you
must enable SPI communication
lines using SW13.1 – SW13.3 DIP
switches, as well as Chip Select (CS)
and Card Detect (CD) lines using
SW13.7 and SW13.8 switches.
