long delay between chars when using SPI(FRDM-K64F)

[lingqian]

Hi there,

Has anyone met a problem when setting SPI delays (delay between chars) in Processor Expert?

My project is sending some data to a DAC via SPI and I used PE to do the settings. When the clock rate is around 1MHz, everything works fine and I can set the delay between chars to around 1.44us. However, when I increase the clock rate to a higher frequency, say 10MHz, and remain the delay between chars to 1.44us, the delay I get from logic analyzer becomes 5us.

I didn't change any code or settings except the clock rate, so I am really confused about this situation.

Anyone has any idea about this problem?

Thanks,

Ling

Hi Ling Q,

Please take a look to the recommendations made on the following post to avoid this delay between SPI transmissions:

Hope it helps!

Hi Carlos Mendoza,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I increased the core frequency of MK24FN1M0VLL12 to 120MHz using the first method in FRDM-K64F at Maximum Speed of 120 MHz | MCU on Eclipse  and then my problem solved.

Thanks again.
