Figure 28 Power conditions
Ready(RDY) is not a power condition. A device may post ready at the interface even though the media may not be
accessible.
Though the interface is inactive in sleep mode, the access to the interface registers and the validity of INTRQ is
guaranteed for two seconds after Sleep command is completed. After this period, the contents of interface registers
may be lost. Since the contents of interface registers may be invalid,
host should NOT check Status register nor Alternate Status register prior to issuing soft reset to wake up a device.
12.5.6 Initial Power Mode at Power On
After power on or hard reset the device goes to IDLE mode or STANDBY mode depending on the option. Refer
Functional Specification Part for the initial power mode selection.
