26.13.2 Switching from (to) Slow Clock Mode to (from) Normal Mode
When switching from slow clock mode to the normal mode, the current slow clock mode transfer is completed at high 
clock rate, with the set of slow clock mode parameters.See Figure 26-29 on page 460. The external device may not be 
fast enough to support such timings. 
Figure 26-30 illustrates the recommended procedure to properly switch from one mode to the other.
