Description
SDIO Controller 0/1/2 Data: These signals operate in
push-pull mode. The SD card includes internal pull-up
resistors for all data lines. By default, after power-up,
only SDn_DATA0 is used for data transfer. Wider data
bus widths can be configured for data transfer.

NOTE: Port 0 and 1 are 4 bits wide while ports 2 is 8 bits
wide.
SDIO Controller 0/1/2 Command: This signal is used
for card initialization and transfer of commands. It has
two operating modes: open-drain for initialization mode,
and push-pull for fast command transfer.
