Abstract

A vibrator device has a base that has a first terminal, a circuit element that is disposed on the base and has a second terminal, a vibrator that includes a vibrator element and a vibrator element package, and is positioned between the first terminal and the second terminal in plan view of the base, a wiring unit that is disposed on the vibrator, a first wire that electrically connects the first terminal and the wiring unit together, and a second wire that electrically connects the wiring unit and the second terminal together.

Claims (45)

1. A vibrator device comprising:

a base that has a first terminal;

a circuit element that is disposed on the base and has a second terminal;

a vibrator that includes a vibrator element and a vibrator element package, and is positioned between the first terminal and the second terminal in plan view of the base;

a wiring unit that is disposed on the vibrator;

a first wire that electrically connects the first terminal and the wiring unit together; and

a second wire that electrically connects the wiring unit and the second terminal together, wherein

the wiring unit has a substrate disposed on the vibrator element package and wiring provided on the substrate.

2. The vibrator device according to claim 1 , wherein the vibrator is disposed on the base so as not to overlap the circuit element in the plan view of the base.

3. The vibrator device according to claim 1 , wherein

the vibrator element package has a base body, in which the vibrator element is disposed, and a lid, which is bonded to the base body so as to accommodate the vibrator element between the lid and the base body, and is disposed such that the lid faces a base side,

a third terminal electrically connected to the vibrator element is disposed on a surface of the base body on a side opposite to the base side,

the plurality of second terminals are disposed, and

the vibrator device further comprises:

a third wire that electrically connects a second terminal that is not electrically connected to the wiring unit, out of the plurality of second terminals, and the third terminal together.

4. The vibrator device according to claim 3 , wherein

the base body has a base portion and a frame-like side wall portion stretching from the base portion, and

at least one of a connecting portion between the wiring unit and the third wire and a connecting portion between the third terminal and the third wire overlaps the side wall portion in the plan view of the base.

5. The vibrator device according to claim 3 , wherein

the two third terminals are provided and are disposed as a pair of the third terminals,

a center of the surface is positioned between the pair of third terminals, and

the wiring unit is provided between the pair of third terminals.

6. The vibrator device according to claim 1 , wherein a power supply voltage or a reference potential is applied to the first terminal.

7. The vibrator device according to claim 1 , wherein

the base is in a quadrilateral shape having a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side in the plan view of the base, and

the plurality of terminals, including the first terminal, are arranged along the first side, the second side, the third side, and the fourth side.

8. The vibrator device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the vibrator is greater than a thickness of the circuit element.

9. The vibrator device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a mold portion that is disposed on the base and covers the circuit element and the vibrator.

10. A vibrator device comprising:

a base that has a first terminal;

a circuit element that has a second terminal electrically connected to the first terminal; and

a vibrator on which a wiring unit is disposed, the vibrator having a vibrator element package, wherein:

the first terminal and the second terminal are electrically connected to each other via the wiring unit, and

the wiring unit has a substrate disposed on the vibrator element package and wiring provided on the substrate.

11. An oscillator comprising:

a base that has a first terminal;

a circuit element that is disposed on the base and has a second terminal;

a vibrator that includes a vibrator element and a vibrator element package, and is positioned between the first terminal and the second terminal in plan view of the base;

a wiring unit that is disposed on the vibrator;

a first wire that electrically connects the first terminal and the wiring unit together; and

a second wire that electrically connects the wiring unit and the second terminal together, wherein

the wiring unit has a substrate disposed on the vibrator element package and wiring provided on the substrate.

12. An electronic device comprising the vibrator device according to claim 1 .

13. A vehicle comprising the vibrator device according to claim 1 .
