Abstract

An oscillation circuit includes a circuit for oscillation that oscillates a resonator, an output circuit that has a signal, output from the circuit for oscillation, input thereto to thereby output an oscillation signal, a connection terminal to which power is applied, a first wiring that connects from the connection terminal to the output circuit, and a second wiring that is connected to the first wiring through a connection node provided on the first wiring and connects from the connection node to the circuit for oscillation. The circuit for oscillation, the output circuit, the connection terminal, the first wiring, and the second wiring are provided on a semiconductor substrate. The length of a wiring extending from the connection terminal of the first wiring to the connection node is shorter than the length of the second wiring.
