Abstract
A circuit device includes an oscillation circuit. The oscillation circuit includes a first variable capacitance circuit whose capacitance change characteristic with respect to a capacitance control voltage is a positive characteristic and a second variable capacitance circuit whose capacitance change characteristic with respect to the capacitance control voltage is a negative characteristic, and oscillates a resonator. The circuit device further includes a switch circuit. The switch circuit receives a first input voltage at a first input terminal thereof, receives a second input voltage at a second input terminal thereof, outputs a first output voltage selected from a plurality of voltages including the first input voltage and the second input voltage to a first output terminal thereof to which the first variable capacitance circuit is electrically coupled, and outputs a second output voltage selected from the plurality of voltages to a second output terminal thereof to which the second variable capacitance circuit is electrically coupled.
