• The SDHC_VS pin is used to select EVDD between 1.8 V and 3.3 V SD card I/O
voltages.
• MMC 8-bit data high-speed operation is limited by voltage translation hardware.
SDHC/SDHX is supported in either 1-bit or 4-bit data mode for either 3.3 V or 1.8 V
bus operation. Bus frequency above 50 MHz requires dynamically changing the
LS1043ARDB EVDD voltage supply rail from 3.3 V to 1.8 V as described in SD
Physical Layer Specification version 3.01.
The figure below shows the eSDHC signal connections supported on the LS1043ARDB.
