I need a crystal for my project and I found this crystal:
https://mouser.com/ProductDetail/TXC-Corporation/9C-16000MAAJ-T?qs=sGAEpiMZZMsBj6bBr9Q9aWUu9Vmt5DeozjX1gZsyHq8%3D
To calculate the two capacitances for the crystal i used this equation:
CL = (C1 * C2) / (C1 + C2) + Cstray
But the datasheet only giving Cshunt. Is it the same as Cstray?
After calculating with Cshunt for Cstray I come to a value of 22pF.

The stray capacitance is the parasitic capacitance present on the pcb board (due to proximity to components) plus the capacitance of the pins. As a rule of thumb, a value for Cstray is on the order of ~5pF.
The shunt capacitance is another parameter and it's mainly a concern for the internal oscillator circuit.
