Abstract
A detection device includes a driving circuit that drives a vibrator, and a detection circuit that receives a detection signal from the vibrator and performs a detection process of detecting a physical quantity signal corresponding to a physical quantity from the detection signal. The driving circuit performs intermittent driving in which the vibrator is driven in a driving period, and is not driven in a non-driving period, and the detection circuit performs the detection process of the physical quantity signal in the non-driving period of the intermittent driving.
