For safe startup of a given crystal, the energyAware Designer in Simplicity Studio contains a tool to help
users configure both load capacitance and software settings for using the LFXO. For details regarding
the crystal configuration, the reader is referred to application note "AN0016 EFM32 Oscillator Design
