SDIO Simplified Specification Version 2.00
11.2.2Power Selection
Power Selection defines two power modes for a function: Lower Current Mode and Higher Current Mode. A card implementing Power Selection gives the host the choice between these two power modes. These modes can be used for functions, such as a radio, which can operate in full performance (Higher Current Mode) or reduced performance (Lower Current Mode). A card’s support of Power Selection is indicated with the SPS bit (Support Power Selection) in the FBR. The host enables Power Selection with the EPS bit (Enable Power Selection) in the FBR.
11.2.3High-Power Tuples
Six new tuples are defined in version 1.10 for each function tuple.
•Average power required when Master Power Control is not enabled (TPLFE_SP_AVG_PWR_3.3V)
•Peak power required when Master Power Control is not enabled (TPLFE_SP_MAX_PWR_3.3V)
•Average power required in Higher Current Mode (TPLFE_HP_AVG_PWR_3.3V)
•Peak power required in Higher Current Mode (TPLFE_HP_MAX_PWR_3.3V)
•Average power required in Lower Current Mode (TPLFE_LP_AVG_PWR_3.3V)
•Peak power required in Lower Current Mode (TPLFE_LP_MAX_PWR_3.3V)
These values are 16 bits long with a 1mA/step resolution. This allows a value of 0 to 65,535 mA to be used. Current varies depending on the voltage. These tuples are defined in

11.3Power Control Support for the SDIO Host
11.3.1Version 1.10 Host
The following are requirements for a version 1.10 host:
•The host shall recognize new Power Control registers and tuples as defined in SDIO Specification Version 1.10.
•Power Control bits (SMPC, EMPC) in the CCCR
•Power Selection bits (SPS, EPS) in the FBR
•
•The host shall know its own power supply ability
