Hi everyone, how are you?

I’d like to share that this is my first time doing a pinout on a monolithic device — in this case, a microSD that was inside a fake SanDisk SD card.

I believe I’ve identified most of the control signals, but I still have some doubts about the data bus. I’ll be uploading the DSView file so that if anyone can take a look, I’d really appreciate your feedback. I have no problem sharing the full pinout once it’s confirmed.

The ID I found is EC 5E 98 1F 84.

I also think I’ve found VCC and VCCQ: there are two large traces leading to the techno pads. The one measuring 2.5 V is likely VCC, and the one showing 1.25 V is probably VCCQ. I’ll upload a photo marking the traces for better reference.

Since the Rusolut reader doesn’t go below 1.6 V, I bought a few LM117 regulators configured to 1.2 V for testing.

Any comments or suggestions are more than welcome. Thanks in advance!

Here I’m sharing the link to the DSL file.

Looks fine, ID is ok. Try read.

Arvika, thanks for your comment. I haven’t had any success reading it, even after lowering the voltage.

Yes, reading this chip can be tricky. For correction usually need connect DQS signal.

I have similar case lately: https://www.flash-killer.com/images/mon ... arvika.jpg
