the bidirectional MMDAT signal. A typical MMC mode command timing diagram with and
without a response is shown in
Figure 15-2 while Figure 15-3 shows a typical MMC mode timing
diagram for a sequential read or write
.
In SPI mode, not all commands are available. The available commands have both a command and
response token. The MMCMD and MMDAT signals are no longer bidirectional in SPI mode. The
MMCMD is an output and the MMDAT is an input with respect to the processor. The command
and data tokens to be written are sent on the MMCMD signal and the response and read data tokens
are received on the MMDAT signal.
Figure 15-4 shows a typical SPI mode timing diagram without
a data token. Figure 15-5 and Figure 15-6 show SPI mode read and write timing diagrams,
respectively.
