2.1 SSP FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.1.1 Clock Prescaler
When configured as a master, an internal prescaler, comprising two free-running re-loadable serially linked counters,
is used to provide the serial output clock SSPCLK.
You can program the clock prescaler, through the SSPCPSR register, to divide PCLK by a factor of 2 to 254 in steps
of two. By not utilizing the least significant bit of the SSPCPSR register, division by an odd number is not possible
and this ensures a symmetrical (equal mark space ratio) clock is generated.
The output of the prescaler is further divided by a factor of 1 to 256, through the programming of the SSPCR0 control
register, to give the final master output clock SSPCLK.
