Note:
FP, FTOL, CL and DL are found in the Xtal Datasheet
ESR = RM * (1 + C0/CL)/2 where RM = Motional Resistance, C0 =Shunt Capacitance from Xtal datasheet.
Datasheets may specify ESR directly – consult manufacturer if unclear whether ESR or RM are specified.
Load capacitor values (C

) can be found with formula C
L
= [(C

Or since C

CL = Load capacitance (Xtal datasheet). CPCB is PCB capacitance (trace, via, pad, etc.)
