Abstract

A physical quantity detection circuit including a differential amplification circuit that differentially amplifies a signal pair based on a first signal containing a first physical quantity component and a first vibration leakage component and a second signal containing a second physical quantity component having a phase opposite the phase of the first physical quantity component and a second vibration leakage component having the same phase as the phase of the first vibration leakage component, an adder circuit that adds the signal pair, a first synchronous wave-detection circuit that performs synchronous wave-detection on a signal based on an output signal from the differential amplification circuit, a second synchronous wave-detection circuit that performs synchronous wave-detection on a signal based on an output signal from the adder circuit, a physical quantity detection signal generation circuit that generates a physical quantity detection signal based on an output signal from the first synchronous wave-detection circuit, and a vibration leakage signal generation circuit that generates a vibration leakage signal based on an output signal from the second synchronous wave-detection circuit.
