Secure digital input/output interface (SDIO) RM0090
Control unit
The control unit contains the power management functions and the clock divider for the
memory card clock.
There are three power phases:
● power-off
● power-up
● power-on

Power management
The control unit is illustrated in Figure 314. It consists of a power management subunit and
a clock management subunit.
The power management subunit disables the card bus output signals during the power-off
and power-up phases.
The clock management subunit generates and controls the SDIO_CK signal. The SDIO_CK
output can use either the clock divide or the clock bypass mode. The clock output is inactive:
● after reset
● during the power-off or power-up phases
● if the power saving mode is enabled and the card bus is in the Idle state (eight clock
periods after both the command and data path subunits enter the Idle phase)
