Because a write will flush the FIFO, these scratchpad bits should be used only when card activity is guaranteed not to occur.

Flush the FIFO
This bit controls FIFO operation and reports FIFO status. When this bit is written to ‘1’, all data in
the FIFO is lost. During read operations when this bit is ‘1’, the FIFO is empty. During read oper-
ations when this bit is ‘0’, data is still in the FIFO. This bit is used to ensure the FIFO is empty be-
fore changing timing registers.
FIFO contents will be lost whenever any of the following occur:
● PWRGOOD pin (see page 13) is ‘0’.
● The card is removed.
● V
Power bit (see page 41) is programmed to ‘0’.
