Note:

For transfer of a sector of data, the host needs to read Status register (X'1F7') in order to clear
INTRQ (interrupt) signal. The Status register should be read within a period from the DRQ
setting by the device to 5

µ

s after the completion of the sector data transfer. Note that the host

does not need to read the Status register for the reading of a single sector or the last sector in
multiple-sector reading. If the timing to read the Status register does not meet above
condition, normal data transfer operation is not guaranteed.

When the host new command even if the device requests the data transfer (setting in DRQ bit),
the correct device operation is not guaranteed.

* Transfers dummy data

* The host should receive 512-byte dummy data or release the DRQ set state by resetting.
