Abstract
A circuit device includes a drive circuit driving a resonator, an oscillation circuit having the resonator and a variable capacitance circuit coupled to an oscillation loop including the drive circuit, and a D/A converter circuit that performs D/A conversion on frequency control data and outputs a first voltage signal and a second voltage signal which are differential signals. The variable capacitance circuit includes a first variable capacitance capacitor, to one end of which the first voltage signal is input and, to the other end of which a first bias voltage is input and a second variable capacitance capacitor, to one end of which the second voltage signal is input and, to the other end of which a second bias voltage is input.
