3.4.4 Bus Signal Levels
All signal levels are related to the supply voltage because the bus can have a variable
supply voltage (see Figure 3-6).
Figure 3-6 Bus Signal Levels
3.4.5 Open-drain Mode Bus Signal Level
To meet the requirements of the JEDEC specification JESD8-1A, the card input and output
voltages are within the specified ranges in Table 3-6 for any V
DD
of the allowed voltage
range.
