the minimum speed.
Idle Clock Level Select the level of the clock or clock polarity (CPOL) when the clock is idle:
Low: the idle clock is at a low level. This is equivalent to CPOL=0.
High: the idle clock is at a high level. This is equivalent to CPOL=1.
Clock Edge Select the clock edge or clock phase (CPHA) for latching data:
First: each bit is latched on the first edge of the clock. This is equivalent to
CPHA=0.
Second: each bit is latched on the second edge of the clock. This is
equivalent to CPHA=1.
