Hi@SimonLiu93
for your better understanding, I recommand you to take a look at the demo in the link below.
S32K3 Low Power Management AN and demos
1. Yes, usually in order to reduce the power consumption in Standby Mode, we will turn off the clock of some peripherals and switch to FIRC clock, etc., so we will configure the clock separately for standby mode
2. You can check the function Clock_Ip_Init, I think it will switch the clock to the default state first, and then configure the clock of each module,i guess.
