About the crystal selection of MAX7044

Question

Hi, 
 The datasheet of MAX7044 says "The crystal oscillator in the MAX7044 is designed to present a capacitance of approximately 3pF between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins." That means there are an extra 3pF load capacitor internal the chip, right? And it won't prevent me to use external load capacitors, if I use a crystal with larger load capacitor, I need use external load capacitors, right? 
 Thanks.

Hello, 
 Please note the crystal oscillator in the MAX7044 is designed to present a capacitance of approximately 3pF between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins. Yes correct. Please read page 7 and 8 of the data sheet (crystal oscillator section).
