3.5.2 Card Identification Register
The Card Identification Register (CID)
12
is 16 bytes long and contains a unique card
identification number as shown in Table 3-10. It is programmed during card manufacturing
and cannot be changed by SD Card hosts.
Table 3-10 CID Register Definitions
Name Type Width CID-Slice CID Value Comments
Manufacturer ID (MID) Binary 8 [127:120] 0x03 Manufacturer IDs are
controlled and
assigned by the SD
Card Association
OEM/Application ID (OID) ASCII 16 [119:104] SD ASCII Code
0x53, 0x44
Identifies the card
OEM and/or the card
contents. The OID is
assigned by the
3C.

Not used, always “1” --- 1 [0.0] --- ---
*The CRC checksum is computed by using the following formula:
CRC Calculation: G(x)=x
7+3+1
M(x)=(MID-MSB)*x

The CID Register in the SD Card has a different structure than in the MultiMediaCard.

3C represents the three SDA founding companies: Toshiba, SanDisk, and MEI.

The product revision is composed of two binary-coded decimal (BCD) digits (4 bits ea.) representing and “n.m”
revision number. The “n” is the most significant nibble and the “m” is the least significant nibble. Example: the
PRV binary value filed for product revision (6.2) would be “01100010”.
