 		 #131257 - That's why we have Datasheets!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Jsathish Kumar said:
2.what is the limiting factor of clock frequency?

Christoph Franck said:
Many things. Signal timing (both internal and external), power consumption, heat dissipation, transistor switching times, to name a few. I'm sure there's more.

And, to save you from worrying about all that stuff, the manufacturer has considered it all for you and gives a specification in the device Datasheet.

Similarly for other aspects of the device's performance.

You ignore the Datasheet at your own peril!

                                                   Please clarify ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                      if that is what you want to call it, then yes.            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                         Well, that\'s a horse of a different color            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                            what about "roughconvert" do you not understand            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                               OK ... so that's 1250 bytes/ms ,,, or 12.5 Mbps ?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                  I have no intention            01/01/70 00:00

                                                         then how come you keep asking            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                            Because you, Erik, have overstated your case            01/01/70 00:00

                                                               depends on the circumstances            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                  Jan, consider the details, please            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                     bit bang for lack of other term            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                        Jan, that may be, but I don\'t think so ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                           on interfacing both slow and fast on external bus            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                              Your conclusion doesn't follow, Jan            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                 I did not discuss the appropriateness of any...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                     again ignoring increased interrupt latency            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                        What latency is that, Erik?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                           I already did            01/01/70 00:00

                                                                                 not me, necessarily            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                    Just how would that occur?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                       finally you got it.            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                               Once again, Erik, you\'ve missed the point            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                  once more ignoring interrupt latency            01/01/70 00:00

                                                            Jan, it\'s not my \"red herring\"            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                               not so wide range of applications            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                  What do you mean?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                     this discussion or engineering?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                        Oh, this annyoing beating arround the bush!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                           Sorry Erik!            01/01/70 00:00

                                                                           not use antiques is interfering with progress???            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                              Yes, the learner's progress            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                 Is that not obvious?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                    nope ... not that simple            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                       in the post you are responding to!!!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                    Erik, You have no argument ... just an opinion            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                       wrong once more            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                          Erik, YOU said it affects nothing            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                             this is NOT about \'me\' or \'mine\'            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                there you go again ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                   it has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with any specific            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                      We definitely disagree on this ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                         if you can not accept this being general, then            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                            It has to be personal and about YOU, Erik            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                               I thought so            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                  Now you've proven my point, Erik            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                     back to technical ONLY            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                        So, what's the problem?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                           what good would that do?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                              Can't you support your dubious assertions?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                                 no ';cases' please            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                                    Without specifics, there's no proof            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                                       I will not            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                                          All you've done so far, Erik, is huff and puff ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                                             I have given you 'details'            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                                                                Maybe, but your \"details\" don\'t support your claim            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                  Jan, there are always tradeoffs            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                     forgetting the \"methods of yore\" and instead discu            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                               he can            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                  There's a semantic problem ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                     already answered            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                         Get over it, Erik ... I don't want your "secrets"            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                            once more ignoring interrupt latency bugs            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                               You keep referring to interrupts ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                  I even made that exception            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                     That's probably quite true            01/01/70 00:00      
   Why "non-specific/vague question" karma point??            01/01/70 00:00      
      You don't get more vague than...            01/01/70 00:00      
         Come on...            01/01/70 00:00      
            question vs answer            01/01/70 00:00      
            we still only guess            01/01/70 00:00
