Abstract
A temperature compensated crystal oscillator has a package body, a crystal blank hermetically sealed in a first recess of the package body, and an IC chip which includes an oscillation circuit electrically connected to the crystal blank, and a temperature compensating mechanism for compensating the crystal blank for the frequency-temperature characteristic. The oscillation circuit and temperature compensating mechanism are integrated into the IC chip. The IC chip is received in a second recess of the package body such that a circuit formation surface thereof faces the bottom face of the package body. External write terminals are formed on a principal surface of the IC chip, which is not the circuit formation surface, for writing temperature compensation data into the temperature compensating mechanism.
