All card registers are also accessible in SPI Mode. Their format is identical to the format in the
SD Bus Mode; however, a few fields are not used in SPI Mode. In SPI Mode, the Card Status
Register has a different, shorter format as well. Refer to Section 7.4 in the SDA Physical Layer
Specification, Version 2.00, for more details.
3.3.1 Card Identification Register
The Card Identification (CID) Register is 16 bytes long and contains the unique card
identification number and other informational data. It is programmed during card content
programming and cannot be changed by card hosts.
The following table lists the default configuration of the CID register for SanDisk SD-ROM Cards.
More information can be found in Section 5.2 of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version
2.00.

3.3.2 Card Specific Data Register
The Card Specific Data (CSD) Register configuration information is required to access card data.
The CSD defines the data format, error correction type, maximum data access time, and other
parameters. The field structures of the CSD Register vary depending on the physical
specifications and card capacity. The CSD_STRUCTURE field in the CSD Register indicates
which structure version is used. All current SanDisk SD-ROM are standard capacity cards and
so implement CSD Version 1.0 structure.
The following table provides an overview of the CSD Register. More field-specific information
can be found in Table 5-4 (Section 5.3.2) of the SDA Physical Layer Specification, Version 2.00.
