4.0 S-LINK Usage Instructions

4.2 Maximum Clock Frequency and Data Transfer Rate

An S-LINK shall have a maximum clock frequency. This is defined as:

Note that the Data Transfer Rate depends on the physical implementation and the protocol used on the S-LINK. The Data Sheet which accompanies each S-LINK shall detail the Data Transfer Rate. The values of timing parameters are given in Table 3. Timing parameters which relate to the LSC are suffixed with a -S while those which relate to the LDC are suffixed with a -D.
