Hi,
I am using the MSP430F5438A device as an SPI master to drive and read conversion results from an external high-speed ADC. The desired SPI clock speed for the conversion is 16MHz, in order to achieve conversion throughput of 1MSPS. Do you think that this can be achieved with the microcontroller running at 16MHz or 20MHz clock? According to the datasheet of the device, on page 57, this cannot be achieved. Note1 puts a limit of the SPI output clock to around 8MHz max. Can you please advise me with this case?
Thank you very much for your support.
