7.6 Real-Time Clock
The Real-Time Clock (RTC) uses an external 32KHz crystal to provide:
• alarm
• stop-watch
• periodic interrupts
— minute
— second
— midnight rollover(day)
The clock runs as long as power is maintained and the crystal is running, regardless of MPC5200B power-down states.
The RTC module has the following features:
• full clock features
• minute countdown timer—provides 256-minute capability, slightly over 4 hours
• programmable alarm—operates on time of day only, not related to calendar
• periodic interrupts for:
— 1 second
— 1 minute
— 1 day—operates only at midnight rollover
• calendar features:
— day
— date
— year
• Crystal support (32.768KHz only)
RTC registers are writable, letting time and date be updated. If software enabled, RTC operates during all MPC5200B power-down modes.
At a reset , control registers are put in a default state such that no interrupts generate until software enabled.
The RTC has two CPU interrupt signals connected to the Interrupt Controller, they are:
• RTC_Periodic, which is Main Level 5 fed by the Day, Minute, or Second sources.
• RTC_Stopwatch, which is Main Level 6 fed by the Alarm or Stopwatch sources.

Bit Name Description
0:6 — Reserved
7 ST This status bit goes high whenever the Timer has reached Terminal Count. The bit is cleared by
writing 1 to its bit position. If Interrupts are enabled, clearing this status bit also clears the
interrupt.
