Host devices built for SDIO cards generally accept SD memory cards without I/O functions. However, the reverse is not true, because host devices need suitable drivers and applications to support the card's I/O functions. For example, an HP SDIO camera usually does not work with PDAs that do not list it as an accessory. Inserting an SDIO card into any SD slot causes no physical damage nor disruption to the host device, but users may be frustrated that the SDIO card does not function fully when inserted into a seemingly compatible slot. (USB and Bluetooth devices exhibit comparable compatibility issues, although to a lesser extent thanks to standardized <a href="/wiki/Class_driver" title="Class driver">USB device classes</a> and <a href="/wiki/Bluetooth_profiles" class="mw-redirect" title="Bluetooth profiles">Bluetooth profiles</a>.)<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

Both types of SDIO cards support <a href="/wiki/Serial_Peripheral_Interface" title="Serial Peripheral Interface">Serial Peripheral Interface</a> (SPI) and one-bit SD bus types. Low-Speed SDIO cards are allowed to also support the four-bit SD bus; Full-Speed SDIO cards are required to support the four-bit SD bus. To use an SDIO card as a "combo card" (for both memory and I/O), the host device must first select four-bit SD bus operation. Two other unique features of Low-Speed SDIO are a maximum clock rate of 400 kHz for all communications, and the use of Pin 8 as "interrupt" to try to initiate dialogue with the host device.<sup id="cite_ref-SDIOspec_156-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SDIOspec-156"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>149<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Compatibility_2">Compatibility</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=SD_card&action=edit&section=43" title="Edit section: Compatibility"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Host devices that comply with newer versions of the specification provide <a href="/wiki/Backward_compatibility" title="Backward compatibility">backward compatibility</a> and accept older SD cards.<sup id="cite_ref-sdcard.org_65-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sdcard.org-65"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>61<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For example, SDXC host devices accept all previous families of SD memory cards, and SDHC host devices also accept standard SD cards. </p><p>Older host devices generally do not support newer card formats, and even when they might support the bus interface used by the card,<sup id="cite_ref-sdcard_using_sdxc_59-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sdcard_using_sdxc-59"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>55<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> there are several factors that arise: </p> <ul><li>A newer card may offer <a href="#Types_of_cards">greater capacity</a><sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/MOS:BROKENSECTIONLINKS" class="mw-redirect" title="MOS:BROKENSECTIONLINKS"><span title="The anchor (Types of cards) has been deleted.
