A system is sampling a high-frequency signal an external 16-bit ADC connected to a microcontroller using an SPI bus. The ADC returns a 16-bit sample every time that the SPI bus goes active. The SPI bus is configured o send 16 bits at a time and runs with a 500,000Hz clock.

determine the maximum sample rate that can be achieved using ADC connected to the microcontroller using SPI bus. Assume that the clock must be inactive for the equivalent of one clock cycle between each transmission.
