STBY,X16M
Standby current for 16 MHz crystal
oscillator.

4. Standby current is the current drawn by the oscillator when there are no resources requesting the 16M, meaning there
is no clock management active (see Table 33 on page 48). This value will depend on type of crystal.

6. This is the time from when the crystal oscillator is powered up until its output becomes available to the system. It
includes both the crystal startup time and the debounce period.
