I want the nRF52832 to output a clk signal on any of the gpios to an external module, and I want to have the maximum clk frequency possible on that pin. So what is the maximumen-USTelligent Community 13Mon, 15 Aug 2016 10:19:45 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/60014?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 15 Aug 2016 10:19:45 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:4a7797f6-5875-470d-b051-c03ed9bcdd8bSusheel Nuguru<p>also look at <a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/44628/maximum-clock-possible-on-gpio-pin-nrf51/">this</a> post on nRF51. I was hoping to get double clock output on nRF52 but like carsten Wulff said PCB capacitance also comes into picture.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/60015?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 13 Aug 2016 23:09:42 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:9632a156-4163-4967-8a19-48db60a0dd7eCarsten Wulff<p>The maximum frequency will be limited by the capacitance on the PCB, so it&#39;s not possible to answer without knowing the details.</p> <p>Th maximum frequency will also be limited by how fast you can write to the GPIO output. The fastest you can update the state of the GPIO is 16MHz, so even with no capacitive load you&#39;ll be limited to 8MHz output frequency.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
