Figure 25: Reference Design of SDIO Interface for eMMC Application 
Please follow the principles below in eMMC circuit design: 
⚫  To  avoid  jitter  of  bus,  it  is  recommended  to  reserve  resistors  R12–R21  for  pulling  up  SDIOs  to 
VDD_1.8 V. Resistors R12–R19 are not mounted by default, and the recommended resistor value is 
10–100 kΩ.   
⚫  In order to improve signal quality, it is recommended to add 0 Ω resistors R1–R9 and R11 in series 
between the module and eMMC. Resistor R10 should be 30-35 Ω. The bypass capacitors C1–C11 
are reserved and not mounted by default. All resistors and bypass capacitors should be placed close 
to the module. 
⚫  It is important to route the SDIO signal traces with total grounding. The impedance of SDIO data 
trace is 50 Ω (±10%). 
⚫  Keep SDIO signals far  away from other sensitive circuits/signals such as RF  circuits and  analog 
signals as well as noisy signals such as clock signals and DC-DC signals. 
⚫  Spacing DATA to DATA/CLK bus is larger than two times of line width. 
⚫  Spacing DATA/CLK/CMD to other signals is larger than two times of line width. 
⚫  It is recommended to keep the trace length difference between CLK and DATA/CMD less than 1 mm 
and the total routing length less than 50 mm. The total trace length inside the module is 17 mm, so 
the exterior total trace length should be less than 33 mm. 
⚫  Make sure the adjacent trace spacing is two times of the trace width and the load capacitance of 
SDIO bus should be less than 40 pF.
