I'm using Microchip SST26VF064B SPI Flash memory with an LPC1768 from LPC. It works until I change the SPI clock frequency from 24MHz to 48MHz. I'm using HIGH-SPEED READ command that should work up to 104MHz (the power supply is 3.3V). For example I read 0x28 0x26 when they should be 0x51 0x4C. 0010 1000 0010 0110 -> 0x28 0x26 0101 0001 0100 1100 -> 0x51 0x4C They appears shifted by one bit... except the MSBit of the second byte. What do you think?
SPI Flash: don't work high-speed read at 48MHz

There are four possible combinations here, and it is not uncommon for one of the wrong choices to work at slower speed but fail at higher speed. Sometimes these things are wrong no matter how carefully you follow the documentation - it seems to follow the 50%/90% rule (if you have 50% chance of guessing correctly, you have 90% chance of guessing incorrectly).

I see this limit in the datasheet.
