8.8 FIRC digital interface
8.8.1 Introduction
The FIRC digital interface controls the main internal 16 MHz RC oscillator (FIRC). It holds control and 
status registers that are accessible by software.
8.8.2 Functional description (16 MHz)
The main RC oscillator provides a high-frequency (f
MRC
) clock. This clock can be used to fasten the exit 
from reset and wakeup sequence from low-power modes of the system. It is controlled by the MC_ME 
module based on the current device mode. The clock source status is updated in the S_RC bit of the 
ME_GS register. Please refer to Chapter 25, Mode Entry Module (MC_ME), for further details.
The MRC clock can be further divided by a configurable division factor in the range 1 to 32 to generate 
the divided clock to match system requirements. This division factor is specified by the RCDIV[4:0] bits 
of the RC_CTL register.

LPRCTRIM[4:0]
Low-power RC trimming bits
Note: Not all configurations can be used. Please refer to the MPC5606S .
19–23
LPRCDIV[4:0]
Low-power RC clock division factor
These bits specify the low-power RC oscillator output clock division factor. The output clock is 
divided by the factor LPRCDIV + 1.

S_LPRC
Low-power RC clock status
0 LPRC is not providing a stable clock.
1 LPRC is providing a stable clock.
