TRAN_SPEED Bit Code
2:0 transfer rate unit:
0=100kbit/s, 1=1Mbit/s, 2=10Mbit/s, 3=100Mbit/s, 4...
7=Reserved
6:3 time value:
0=Reserved, 1=1.0, 2=1.2, 3=1.3, 4=1.5, 5=2.0, 6=2.5, 7=3.0,
8=3.5, 9=4.0, A=4.5, B=5.0, C=5.5, D=6.0, E=7.0, F=8.0
7 Reserved
CCC—The TriFlash command set is divided into subsets (command classes). The card command class register
CCC defines which command classes are supported by this device. A value of ‘1’ in a CCC bit means that the
corresponding command class is supported. Refer to Table 3-14 for command class definitions.
Table 3-14. Supported Card Command Classes
CCC Bit Supported Card Command Class
0 class 0
1 class 1

11 class 11
READ_BL_LEN—The maximum read data block length is computed as 2
READ_BL_LEN
. The maximum block length
might therefore be in the range 512...2048 bytes. Note that in the TriFlash, the WRITE_BL_LEN is always equal to
READ_BL_LEN.

READ_BL_PARTIAL— READ_BL_PARTIAL is always set to 1 in the TriFlash. Partial Block Read is always
allowed in the TriFlash. It means that smaller blocks can be used as well. The minimum block size is one byte.
READ_BL_PARTIAL=0 means that only the READ_BL_LEN block size can be used for block oriented data
transfers.
READ_BL_PARTIAL=1 means that smaller blocks can be used as well. The minimum block size will be equal to
minimum addressable unit (one byte).
WRITE_BLK_MISALIGN—Defines if the data block to be written by one command can be spread over more
than one physical block of the memory device. The size of the memory block is defined in WRITE_BL_LEN.
WRITE_BLK_MISALIGN=0 signals that crossing physical block boundaries is invalid.
WRITE_BLK_MISALIGN=1 signals that crossing physical block boundaries is allowed.
