== PS Vita Cards ==

Two types of cards: Gamecards (on which games are sold) and Memorycards (to hold your savedata for games that don't use the storage on the Gamecards)

=== PS Vita Gamecards ===
<div style="float:right">[[File:Comparison - Nintendo 3DS cart - common SD card - PSVita Gamecard - common microSD card - FRONTS.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Comparison: Nintendo 3DS cart, common SD card, PSVita Gamecard, common microSD card]]<br />[[File:200px-Playstation_vita_media.svg.png|200px|thumb|left|PSVita Cards measurements]]</div>

10 pin SD sized card (physical incompatible). ±1.4mm pitch.<br />

Savegames stored on the Gamecards cannot be copied/exported.<br />

Currently produced as 2GB and 4GB cards.<br />

About Pin 1: "it's an input pin on the host controller (pulled up high), and the pin on the card is grounded" (source [https://twitter.com/RichDevX/status/779282383132626945 RichDevX])

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.
