 I&amp;#39;m working with the nrf52840, and I&amp;#39;ve had success with spi communication in the past. However, I want to switch to spim and am unsure how to do so. Can you provide any example code for spim configuration? Is it possible to use more than 8Mhz with</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 13 Dec 2021 13:48:43 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/82659/nrf52840-spim3" /><item><title>RE: nrf52840 spim3</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/343196?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 13 Dec 2021 13:48:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:7f490333-91c3-4a4d-a3ed-e6e503d1002e</guid><dc:creator>Simonr</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Mahesh&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please check out&lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/52072/spim3-initialization-issue/209575#209575"&gt; this case and the answer from Edvin&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that&amp;nbsp;describes how to enable the SPIM peripheral. You can also check out &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.1.0/spi_master_example.html"&gt;the SPIM peripheral example project in our SDK&lt;/a&gt;. Let me know if you use the nRFConnect SDK instead.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Correct, specifically the SPIM3 instance is able to run at up to 32MHz, but please note that you should not youse pins with the recommended usage &amp;quot;Standard drive, low freq. I/O only in the&lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fps_nrf52840%2Fpin.html&amp;amp;anchor=aqfn73"&gt; nRF52840 pin assignments&lt;/a&gt;. These are located close to the radio, and if used at high frequencies while the radio peripheral is running, it will affect the radio performance of your nRF52.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
