| PIC18F24J11 SPI max. data transfer speed = 6Mbps with DMA? |

I would like to check if I´m doing something wrong.
I´m using the PIC18F24J11. It is running on 48MHz. I set the Spi to 12MHz. I set DMA to work with SPI transfers because I would like to reach the maximum SPI data transfer.
Even using DMA, my SPI transfered only 6Mbps running at 12MHz(spi clock pin), because for every transmitted byte it waits another byte(8 cycles) without transfer. I´m not using SPI SS pin.
My SPI config is:
| Quote: | #USE SPI(SPI2, MASTER, BAUD=120000000, MODE=0, BITS=8, MSB_FIRST, STREAM=RF24_SPI)
|
DMA driver I made myself. So I do not need to use spi_xfer() for transfer data. It automaticaly starts everytime I fill DMA registers and Enable DMA transfer.
My question is: Am I setting something wrong or Microchip PIC can´t send SPI continuously?
Thanks.
Eduardo

I set the Spi to 12MHz.

Look more closely at the Baud number.

Read the DMACON2 section of the 1824J11 data sheet:
| Quote: | 19.4.4.2 DMACON2
By default, the hardware requires a minimum
delay of: 8 TCY for FOSC/4, 9 TCY for FOSC/16
and 15 TCY for FOSC/64. Additional delays can be
added with the DLYCYC bits. In SPI Slave modes, the
DLYCYC<3:0> bits may optionally be used to trigger an
additional time-out based interrupt. |
