Ultra 160/m clocking question

The answer (for SPI-3 rev 2) is given in Table 32. This table applies to DT
(Table 31
is for ST) and shows the Fast-20 REQ/ACK period (from one assertion edge to
the next)
to be 100 ns, so the REQ frequency is 10 MHz. With DT this means 20
Megatransfers/s,
hence it is called Fast-20.

The "XX" in Fast-XX gives the maximum transfer rate, in Megatransfers/s,
that can be
supported using that particular set of timing parameters. This transfer rate
is equal to
the REQ/ACK frequency for ST or twice the REQ/ACK frequency for DT.
