For C
L1
and C
L2
, it is recommended to use high-quality external ceramic capacitors in the
5 pF to 25 pF range (typ.), designed for high-frequency applications, and selected to match
the requirements of the crystal or resonator (see
). C
L1
and C
L2
are usually the
same size. The crystal manufacturer typically specifies a load capacitance which is the
series combination of C
L1
and C
L2
. PCB and MCU pin capacitance must be included (10 pF
can be used as a rough estimate of the combined pin and board capacitance) when sizing
C
L1
and C
L2
. Refer to the application note AN2867 “Oscillator design guide for ST
microcontrollers” available from the ST website
www.st.com
.

1. Resonator characteristics given by the crystal/ceramic resonator manufacturer.
2. Guaranteed by characterization results, not tested in production.
3. The relatively low value of the RF resistor offers a good protection against issues resulting from use in a humid
environment, due to the induced leakage and the bias condition change. However, it is recommended to take this point
into account if the MCU is used in tough humidity conditions.
4. t
SU(HSE)
is the startup time measured from the moment it is enabled (by software) to a stabilized 8 MHz oscillation is
reached. This value is measured for a standard crystal resonator and it can vary significantly with the crystal manufacturer.
