Abstract
An oscillator IC includes a VDD terminal (first terminal), an OUT terminal (second terminal), an oscillation circuit for oscillating a resonator element, a mode switching circuit that switches between a normal mode (the first mode in which an oscillation signal output by the oscillation circuit is output from the OUT terminal) and a serial I/F mode (the second mode in which a signal than the oscillation signal is output or input from the OUT terminal) based on a voltage of the VDD terminal, and a control circuit that controls stop of the oscillation circuit in the serial I/F mode based on setting information that can be changed from outside.
