- **Signal Name** `cptra_ss_clk_i`

- **Required Frequency** 333* MHz to 400 MHz

- I3C core imposes requirement for minimum operating clock frequency set to 333 MHz or higher to meet 12ns tSCO timing.
503+
- 333 MHz was calculated assuming SCL PAD -> D and SDA Q -> PAD timing is 0. SOCs with large timing delays might need to run at a faster clock frequency to meet tSCO timing of 12ns.
503504
- SoCs that run Caliptra lower than 333 MHz will limit the max I3C SCL frequency. See [I3C Phy Spec](https://chipsalliance.github.io/i3c-core/phy.html#clock-synchronization-5-1-7) for more details.

- This was changed from 170 MHz floor due to CDC issue found in I3C core:
