44.12.3.1Maximum SPI Frequency
The following formulas give maximum SPI frequency in master read and write modes and in slave read and write
modes.
Master Write Mode
The SPI is only sending data to a slave device such as an LCD, for example. The limit is given by SPI
The SPI is only sending data to a slave device such as an LCD, for example. The limit is given by SPI
2
(or
SPI
5
), the max SPI frequency is the one from the pad.
Master Read Mode
t
valid
is the slave time response to output data after detecting an SPCK edge. For Atmel SPI DataFlash
(AT45DB642D), T
valid
(or T
v
) is 12 ns Max.
In the formula above, f
SPCK
Max = 33.0 MHz @ VDDIO = 3.3V.
Slave Read Mode
In slave mode, SPCK is the input clock for the SPI. The max SPCK frequency is given by setup and hold

(or SPI

read mode is given by SPCK pad.
Slave Write Mode
For 3.3V I/O domain and SPI6, f
SPCK
Max = 25 MHz. t

is the setup time from the master before sampling
data.
