Original Abstract Submitted
A vibrator device includes: a vibrator; and a circuit device disposed apart from the vibrator, in which the circuit device includes a drive circuit configured to drive the vibrator, a temperature sensor configured to generate a temperature signal corresponding to a detected temperature, a temperature compensation circuit configured to compensate for temperature characteristics of a drive state of the vibrator based on the temperature signal, a heat source circuit configured to operate in a first state or in a second state in which current consumption is different from current consumption in the first state, and a transient response compensation circuit configured to compensate for, when the first state and the second state of the heat source circuit are switched, a difference between a transient response of a temperature detected by the temperature sensor and a transient response of a temperature of the vibrator.
