Abstract
A physical quantity sensor includes a vibration element having drive arm sections and a detection arm section, a driving circuit generating a driving signal for driving the drive arm sections with a first driving line and a second driving line, and a detection circuit detecting a detected signal from the detection arm section with a first detection line and a second detection line. At least one of the first driving line and the second driving line is wired so that a static coupling is generated with respect to the first detection line and the second detection line.
