20.4.6.3 After SCK Delay (t
ASC
)
The after SCKx delay is the length of time between the last edge of SCKx and the negation of PCSx. See 
Figure 20-34 and Figure 20-35 for illustrations of the after SCKx delay. The PASC and ASC fields in the 
DSPIx_CTARn registers select the after SCK delay. The relationship between these variables is given in 
the following formula:
Table 20-25 shows an example of the computed after SCK delay. 
20.4.6.4 Delay after Transfer (t
DT
)
The delay-after-transfer field is the amount of time between negation of the PCSx signal for a frame and 
the assertion of the PCSx signal for the next frame. The PDT and DT fields in the DSPIx_CTARn registers 
select the delay after transfer. 
See Figure 20-34 for an illustration of the delay after transfer. The following formula expresses the PDT 
and DT delay-after-transfer relationship:
Table 20-26 shows an example of the computed delay after transfer.
20.4.6.5 Peripheral Chip Select Strobe Enable (PCSS)
The PCSS signal provides a delay to allow the PCSx signals to settle after transitioning thereby avoiding 
glitches. When the DSPI is in master mode and PCSSE bit is set in the DSPIx_MCR, PCSS provides a 
signal for an external demultiplexer to decode the PCSx[0:4] signals into as many as 32 glitch-free PCSx 
signals.
