Abstract
A vibrator device includes a vibration element, a circuit element configured to drive the vibration element, and a package that accommodates the vibration element and the circuit element. The package includes a mounting surface having a rectangular shape in a plan view and a plurality of external terminals arranged at the mounting surface, the plurality of external terminals include a corner terminal disposed at a corner of the mounting surface and a side terminal disposed at a side of the mounting surface, and an area of the corner terminal is larger than an area of the side terminal.
Claims8
A vibrator device comprising:
- three axes orthogonal to each other being defined as an X axis, a Y axis, and a Z axis;
- a vibration element that is an angular velocity detection element, the vibration element being configured to detect an angular velocity;
- a circuit element including;
- a drive circuit configured to apply a drive signal to drive the angular velocity detection element;
- and
- a detection circuit configured to detect the angular velocity based on an output signal from the angular velocity detection element;
- and
- a package that accommodates the vibration element and the circuit element, the package being configured with a base and a lid, the base having a recess in which the vibration element and the circuit element are provided, wherein
- a bottom of the base of the package is a mounting surface having a rectangular shape in a plan view and a plurality of external terminals arranged at the mounting surface,
- the plurality of external terminals include a corner terminal disposed at a corner of the mounting surface and a side terminal disposed at a side of the mounting surface,
- an area of the corner terminal is larger than an area of the side terminal,
- an outer edge of each of the plurality of external terminals is aligned with an outermost periphery of the base of the package in the plan view,
- the mounting surface includes:
- a first side and a second side that face each other and respectively extend along the X-axis in a plan view viewed along the Z axis;
- and
- a third side and a fourth side that face each other and respectively extend along the Y-axis in the plan view,
- the side terminal includes a first side terminal arranged along the first side and a second side terminal arranged along the second side in the plan view, and
- the corner terminal extends along the Y axis.
