• ERASE_BLK_EN— determines whether erasing one write block (see
WRITE_BL_LEN) is allowed (other than SECTOR_SIZE given below).
Table 3-24 Bit Definition
ERASE_BLK_EN Definition
0 Host can erase a SECTOR_SIZE unit.
1 Host can erase either a SECTOR_SIZE unit or a WRITE_BLK_LEN
unit.
• SECTOR_SIZE—contents of this register is a 7-bit binary-coded value, defining the
number of write blocks (see WRITE_BL_LEN). The actual size is computed by
increasing this number by one. A value of “0” denotes 1 write block, 127 denotes 128
blocks.
• WP_GRP_SIZE—contents of this register is a 5-bit binary-coded value, defining the
number of Erase Groups (see SECTOR_SIZE). The actual size is computed by
increasing this number by “1”. A value of “0” denotes 1 erase group, and a value of
“127” denotes 128 erase groups.
• WP_GRP_ENABLE—A value of “0” means group write protection is not possible.
• R2W_FACTOR—defines the typical block program time as a multiple of the read
access time. Table 3-25 defines the field format.

• WRITE_BL_LEN— The maximum write data block length is computed as
2
WRITE_BL_LEN
. The maximum block length might therefore be in the range 512…2048
bytes. A 512-byte write block length is always supported. In the SD Memory Card,
the WRITE_BL_LEN is always equal to READ_BL_LEN.
