Three examples of typical crystals are given, each with the value of external capacitors to use, plus the likely supply
current and start-up time that can be expected. Also given is the maximum recommended ESR based on the start-up
criteria given in Appendix B.1.3. The values of the external capacitors can be calculated using the equation in
Appendix B.1.2 .
