3.8 Power-down Operation
A power-down function is provided that disables all analog functions. The power-down state is only
allowed in the de-activated condition. The host invokes the power-down state when it is desirable to save
power.
The signals PRES and PRES are functional in the power-down state so that a card insertion asserts OFF
high. If there is no card present (OFF = low) in power-down mode, the pull-up resistor is disabled so that
no current is drawn from VDD. If a card is inserted, the pull-up resistor is enabled and OFF goes high.
Upon receiving the OFF indication, the host must then de-assert power down (PWRDN) and wait until the
circuit is ready. When PWRDN is de-asserted, OFF goes low to indicate that the circuit is not ready (it is
going through the power-on recovery time). When the circuit is ready, OFF will go high if the card is
present. Figure 8 illustrates the behavior of the circuit for PWRDN events.
