Abstract
In an oscillator device that outputs a frequency signal based on an oscillation frequency of a crystal resonator and a frequency setting value, a frequency difference detector that obtains a difference value corresponding to a frequency difference between the output frequency of the oscillator device and an external clock signal and a temperature detector are disposed. An aging coefficient and a temperature characteristic coefficient are obtained based on a secular change of the difference value obtained in the frequency difference detector and a secular change of the detected temperature during a period where the external clock signal is obtained. Furthermore, a frequency correction value is calculated using the aging coefficient and the temperature characteristic coefficient during a holdover period, and the frequency correction value is added to the frequency setting value.
