Notes:
# Direction is relative to card. I = Input, O = Output.
# PP = Push-Pull logic, OD = Open-Drain logic.
# S = Power Supply, NC = Not Connected (or logical high).
# The extended DAT lines (DAT1-DAT3) are input on power up. They start to operate as DAT lines after the SET_BUS_WIDTH command.<br/> It is the responsibility of the host designer to connect external pullup resistors to all data lines even if only DAT0 is to be used.<br/> Otherwise, non-expected high current consumption may occur due to the floating inputs of DAT1 & DAT2 (in case they are not used).
# After power up, DAT3 is input with 50Kohm(+/-20Kohm) pull-up (can be used for card detection or SPI mode selection.<br/> The pull-up may be disconnected by the user, during regular data transfer, with SET_CLR_CARD_DETECT (ACMD42) command.
