Abstract
A circuit device includes an oscillation signal generation circuit, a reference signal input terminal to which a reference signal is input, and an internal phase comparator that performs phase comparison between an input signal based on the oscillation signal and the reference signal. The oscillation signal generation circuit generates the oscillation signal using the frequency control data based on a result of the phase comparison from an external phase comparator which performs phase comparison between an input signal based on the oscillation signal and the reference signal in a first mode, and generates the oscillation signal using the frequency control data based on a result of the phase comparison from the internal phase comparator in a second mode.
