06 TF-Card

1 TF Card Interface Introduction

TF Card (TransFlash Card), also known as MicroSD Card, is a small flash memory card widely used in mobile devices (such as mobile phones, tablets, cameras, drones, etc.) and embedded devices (such as development boards, single-board computers, etc.). With its small size, large storage capacity, and high cost-performance ratio, TF Card has become one of the most commonly used storage media in portable devices.
