Abstract
A temperature-compensated oscillator includes a temperature sensor, a temperature compensation circuit, a voltage-controlled oscillation circuit adapted to output an oscillation signal on which temperature compensation is performed based on the temperature compensation voltage, an output circuit adapted to output an ON/OFF signal based on a relationship between variation of the detected-temperature voltage output by the temperature sensor and a reference voltage, a switch circuit adapted to supply the temperature compensation circuit with electrical power in response to the ON/OFF signal, and a sample-and-hold circuit adapted to be switched between a state of outputting the temperature compensation voltage to the voltage-controlled oscillation circuit while holding the temperature compensation voltage output by the temperature compensation circuit, and a state of outputting the temperature compensation voltage held to the voltage-controlled oscillation circuit while cutting the connection to the temperature compensation circuit in response to the ON/OFF signal.
