AC CHARACTERISTICSStandard Operating Conditions: VDD and VDDIO 2.7V to 5.5V (unless otherwise stated)

Operating temperature:

-40°C ≤ TA ≤ +125°C for Extended Temp

Param. No.SymbolCharacteristics(1)Min.Typ.Max.UnitsConditions
MSP_1FSCKSCK Frequency14.2MHzTransmitter mode, CTRLB.RXEN = 0, CLOAD=30pF(max).
4.63Full Duplex Transmit and Receive mode, CLOAD = 30pF(max).

Loop-Back mode with one SPI talking to another SPI on the same MCU.

1/(2*(TMIS+NOTE2_TV))(2)Full Duplex Transmit and Receive mode, CLOAD=30pF(max).

The maximum SPI speed of the MCU is partially dependent on the external SPI device performance characteristics.

Faster speeds than the Loop- Back mode above may therefore be possible using the formula.

MSP_11TMOVMOSI Data Output Valid after SCK24.6nsVDDIO(min), CLOAD = 30 pF(max)
MSP_15TMISMISO Setup Time of Data Input to SCK51.7ns
Note:
  1. Assumes VDDIO(min) and 30 pF external load on all SPIx pins unless otherwise noted.
  2. NOTE2_TV is the client external device data output valid time from clock edge specification.
