Abstract
A memory card identification device, a host device using the memory card, and a memory card are provided. The memory card identification device includes: a card socket comprising a single card slot through which at least two kinds of memory cards can be inserted and a target port disposed to be in contact with any one kind of a target memory card based on an external characteristic difference between different kinds of memory cards; and a card type detector configured to determine a type of a memory card inserted in the card socket by using a contact state signal of the target port.
