setup time McBSP timing in master mode



Hello!

One question about the parameter P in the McBSP timing in master mode.

In data manual (Literature Number: SGUS051A - March 2004 - Revised October 2004) on page 148 the McBSP timing is shown. There the parameter

P is defined as ==> 2P = 1/CLKG, in master mode, too.

Therefore, for example the setup time M49 is 123ns (CLKG = 3,75 MHz = extern clock of the McBSP) and the hold time M50 is 123ns, too.

Is that right? I think there is an error in the calculation. The setup time M49 and the hold time M50 are too much.

What P means exactly? 

 

Yours sincerely, S. Barra

 

  • Hello Mr. Barra,

    For all SPI slave modes, CLKX has to be minimum 8 CLKG cycles. Also CLKG should be LSPCLK/2.

    e.g.:
    LSPCLK speed of the 150 MHz device is 75MHz, CLKX maximum frequency will be LSPCLK/16 , that is 4,6875 MHz and P = 13,33 ns.

    I hope  that answers your question.

    Thanks and best regards
