3.5.3 Card Specific Data Register
The Card Specific Data (CSD) Register configuration information is required to access
the card data.
In Table 3-11, the Cell Type column defines the CSD field as read-only (R), one-time
programmable (R/W) or erasable (R/W/E). The values are presented in “real world” units
for each field and coded according to the CSD structure.
