29.13 Slow Clock Mode
The SMC is able to automatically apply a set of “slow clock mode” read/write waveforms when an internal signal driven 
by the Power Management Controller is asserted because MCK has been turned to a very slow clock rate (typically 32 
kHz clock rate). In this mode, the user-programmed waveforms are ignored and the slow clock mode waveforms are 
applied. This mode is provided so as to avoid reprogramming the User Interface with appropriate waveforms at very slow 
clock rate. When activated, the slow mode is active on all chip selects.
29.13.1 Slow Clock Mode Waveforms
 illustrates the read and write operations in slow clock mode. They are valid on all chip selects. 
indicates the value of read and write parameters in slow clock mode.
