45.3.3 Clock and Transfer Attributes Register (In Master Mode)
(SPIx_CTARn)
CTAR registers are used to define different transfer attributes. Do not write to the CTAR
registers while the module is in the Running state.
In Master mode, the CTAR registers define combinations of transfer attributes such as
frame size, clock phase and polarity, data bit ordering, baud rate, and various delays. In
slave mode, a subset of the bitfields in CTAR0 are used to set the slave transfer attributes.
When the module is configured as a SPI master, the CTAS field in the command portion
of the TX FIFO entry selects which of the CTAR registers is used. When the module is
configured as an SPI bus slave, it uses the CTAR0 register.

Field Description

DBR
Double Baud Rate
Doubles the effective baud rate of the Serial Communications Clock (SCK). This field is used only in
master mode. It effectively halves the Baud Rate division ratio, supporting faster frequencies, and odd
division ratios for the Serial Communications Clock (SCK). When the DBR bit is set, the duty cycle of the
Serial Communications Clock (SCK) depends on the value in the Baud Rate Prescaler and the Clock
Phase bit as listed in the following table. See the BR field description for details on how to compute the
baud rate.
