Term Definition
================= =========================================================================================
**Host** The SPI controller peripheral inside ESP32 that initiates SPI transmissions over the bus, and acts as an SPI Master. This may be the SPI2 or SPI3 peripheral. (The driver will also support the SPI1 peripheral in the future.)
**Host** The SPI controller peripheral inside {IDF_TARGET_NAME} that initiates SPI transmissions over the bus, and acts as an SPI Master.
**Device** SPI slave device. An SPI bus may be connected to one or more Devices. Each Device shares the MOSI, MISO and SCLK signals but is only active on the bus when the Host asserts the Device's individual CS line.
**Bus** A signal bus, common to all Devices connected to one Host. In general, a bus includes the following lines: MISO, MOSI, SCLK, one or more CS lines, and, optionally, QUADWP and QUADHD. So Devices are connected to the same lines, with the exception that each Device has its own CS line. Several Devices can also share one CS line if connected in the daisy-chain manner.
- **MISO** Master In, Slave Out, a.k.a. Q. Data transmission from a Device to Host.
- **MOSI** Master Out, Slave In, a.k.a. D. Data transmission from a Host to Device.
- **SCLK** Serial Clock. Oscillating signal generated by a Host that keeps the transmission of data bits in sync.
- **CS** Chip Select. Allows a Host to select individual Device(s) connected to the bus in order to send or receive data.
- **QUADWP** Write Protect signal. Only used for 4-bit (qio/qout) transactions.
- **QUADHD** Hold signal. Only used for 4-bit (qio/qout) transactions.
- **Assertion** The action of activating a line. The opposite action of returning the line back to inactive (back to idle) is called *de-assertion*.
**MISO** Master In, Slave Out, a.k.a. Q. Data transmission from a Device to Host.

**QUADWP** Write Protect signal. Only used for 4-bit (qio/qout) transactions.
**QUADHD** Hold signal. Only used for 4-bit (qio/qout) transactions.
**Assertion** The action of activating a line.
**De-assertion** The action of returning the line back to inactive (back to idle) status.
**Transaction** One instance of a Host asserting a CS line, transferring data to and from a Device, and de-asserting the CS line. Transactions are atomic, which means they can never be interrupted by another transaction.
**Launch edge** Edge of the clock at which the source register *launches* the signal onto the line.
**Latch edge** Edge of the clock at which the destination register *latches in* the signal.

Polling transactions do not use interrupts. The routine keeps polling the SPI Host's status bit until the transaction is finished.
All the tasks that use interrupt transactions can be blocked by the queue. At this point, they will need to wait for the ISR to run twice before the transaction is finished. Polling transactions save time otherwise spent on queue handling and context switching, which results in smaller transaction intervals. The disadvantage is that the CPU is busy while these transactions are in progress.

@ -352,40 +375,42 @@ There are three factors limiting the transfer speed:
The main parameter that determines the transfer speed for large transactions is clock frequency. For multiple small transactions, the transfer speed is mostly determined by the length of transaction intervals.
Transaction Interval
Transaction Duration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Transaction interval is the time that software requires to set up SPI peripheral registers and to copy data to FIFOs, or to set up DMA links.
{IDF_TARGET_TRANS_TIME_INTR_DMA:default="28", esp32="28", esp32s2="23", esp32c3="28"}
{IDF_TARGET_TRANS_TIME_POLL_DMA:default="10", esp32="10", esp32s2="9", esp32c3="10"}

{IDF_TARGET_TRANS_TIME_POLL_CPU:default="8", esp32="8", esp32s2="8", esp32c3="9"}
Transaction duration includes setting up SPI peripheral registers, copying data to FIFOs or setting up DMA links, and the time for SPI transaction.
Interrupt transactions allow appending extra overhead to accommodate the cost of FreeRTOS queues and the time needed for switching between tasks and the ISR.
For **interrupt transactions**, the CPU can switch to other tasks when a transaction is in progress. This saves the CPU time but increases the interval. See :ref:`interrupt_transactions`. For **polling transactions**, it does not block the task but allows to do polling when the transaction is in progress. For more information, see :ref:`polling_transactions`.

For **polling transactions**, it does not block the task but allows to do polling when the transaction is in progress. For more information, see :ref:`polling_transactions`.
If DMA is enabled, setting up the linked list requires about 2 us per transaction. When a master is transferring data, it automatically reads the data from the linked list. If DMA is not enabled, the CPU has to write and read each byte from the FIFO by itself. Usually, this is faster than 2 us, but the transaction length is limited to 64 bytes for both write and read.
Typical transaction interval timings for one byte of data are given below.

SPI Clock Frequency
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Transferring each byte takes eight times the clock period *8/fspi*. If the clock frequency is too high, the use of some functions might be limited. See :ref:`timing_considerations`.

Cache Miss

Other SPI related functions, including the driver itself and the callback, might suffer from the cache miss and will need to wait until the code is read from the flash. Select :ref:`CONFIG_SPI_MASTER_IN_IRAM` to put the whole SPI driver into IRAM and put the entire callback(s) and its callee functions into IRAM to prevent cache miss.

Timing Considerations
---------------------
.. _timing_considerations:
As shown in the figure below, there is a delay on the MISO line after the SCLK launch edge and before the signal is latched by the internal register. As a result, the MISO pin setup time is the limiting factor for the SPI clock speed. When the delay is too long, the setup slack is < 0, and the setup timing requirement is violated, which results in the failure to perform the reading correctly.

**Dummy bit workaround**: Dummy clocks, during which the Host does not read data, can be inserted before the read phase begins. The Device still sees the dummy clocks and sends out data, but the Host does not read until the read phase comes. This compensates for the lack of the MISO setup time required by the Host and allows the Host to do reading at a higher frequency.
.. _dummy_bit_workaround:
In the ideal case, if the Device is so fast that the input delay is shorter than an APB clock cycle - 12.5 ns - the maximum frequency at which the Host can read (or read and write) in different conditions is as follows:

The Device can read data correctly only if the data is already set at the launch edge. Although it is usually the case for most masters.
Note:
1. If the frequency is equal to the limitation, it can lead to random errors.
2. The clock uncertainty between Host and Device (12.5ns) is included.
3. The output delay is measured under ideal circumstances (no load). If the MISO pin is heavily loaded, the output delay will be longer, and the maximum allowed frequency will be lower.
- Write (MISO):
The output delay of the MISO signal needs to be shorter than half of a clock cycle period so that the MISO line is stable before the next latch edge. Given that the clock is balanced, the output delay and frequency limitations in different cases are given below.
Exception: The frequency is allowed to be higher if the master has more tolerance for the MISO setup time, e.g., latch data at the next edge than expected, or configurable latching time.

| GPIO matrix | 68.75 | <7.2 |

Also, a Host should write lengths that are multiples of 4 bytes. The data with inappropriate lengths will be discarded.
2. Furthermore, DMA requires SPI modes 1 and 3. For SPI modes 0 and 2, the MISO signal has to be launched half a clock cycle earlier to meet the timing. The new timing is as follows:

2. Furthermore, DMA requires SPI modes 1 and 3. For SPI modes 0 and 2, the MISO signal has to be launched half a clock cycle earlier to meet the timing. The new timing is as follows:
If DMA is enabled, a Device's launch edge is half of an SPI clock cycle ahead of the normal time, shifting to the Master's actual latch edge. In this case, if the GPIO matrix is bypassed, the hold time for data sampling is 68.75 ns and no longer a half of an SPI clock cycle. If the GPIO matrix is used, the hold time will increase to 93.75 ns. The Host should sample the data immediately at the latch edge or communicate in SPI modes 1 or 3. If your Host cannot meet these timing requirements, initialize your Device without DMA.
