And also keep in mind that the actual supply voltage must be below that threshold. Thus, the power-off time also depends on the capacitance on that supply line after the power load switch. There are switches with dedicated output discharge circuits built-in. That being said, from my experience there are cards which will work when switching back from 1V8 to 3V3 signalling and some don't. I haven't digged deeper into that topic, though. -michael > You could disable UHS for u-boot but that still leaves (potentially) > problematic warm-reboots of the board. > Having a (software-controlled) switchable regulator on SD VCC is pretty > common for this reason and you should be able to find it in most dts > for host controllers with sd-uhs-* property. > I'm afraid that the relevant spec section isn't available in the > simplified version. > > Kind Regards, > Christian
