Card and host device

摘要

A host device is configured to read and write information from and into a card and to supply a supply voltage that belongs to a first voltage range or a second voltage range which is lower than the first voltage range, and issues a voltage identification command to the card. The voltage identification command includes a voltage range identification section, an error detection section, and a check pattern section. The voltage range identification section includes information indicating which one of the first voltage range and the second voltage range the supply voltage belongs. The error detection section has a pattern configured to enable the card which has received the voltage identification command to detect errors in the voltage identification command. The check pattern section has a preset pattern.

1. A memory device configured to communicate with a host device through receiving a command from the host device and returning a response of the command to the host device, the memory device is configured to:
support a first command; when the first command is not received, support a second command with a first definition; issue, in response to the second command, a response to the second command with a first definition; upon reception of the first command, issue a response to the first command; support the second command with a second definition, which has an additional field which is added to the second command with the first definition; and upon reception of the second command with the second definition, perform initialization and issue a response to the second command with a second definition, wherein the response to the second command with the second definition has an additional field which is added to the response to the second command with the first definition.
