The oscillator supports a Bypass mode. See Input AC Characteristics.

Figure 50-21. Main Crystal Oscillator Schematic

C_LEXT = 2 × (C_CRYSTAL – C_PARA – C_PCB / 2), where C_PCB is the ground referenced parasitic capacitance of the printed circuit board (PCB) on XIN and XOUT tracks. As an example, if the crystal is specified for a 9 pF load, with C_PCB = 1 pF (on XIN and on XOUT), C_LEXT = 2 x (9 - 1 - 0.5) = 15 pF.

The table below summarizes recommendations for crystal selection. Three sets of crystal characteristics are supported with this oscillator corresponding to the three operating frequency ranges.
