A real-time clock device includes a resonator, a clock signal generation circuit, a time-counting circuit, a terminal, and a time-to-digital conversion circuit. The clock signal generation circuit outputs a time-counting clock signal based on an oscillation clock signal. The time-counting circuit generates time-counting data based on the time-counting clock signal. An external signal is input to the terminal. The time-to-digital conversion circuit measures a time difference between a transition timing of a first signal based on the external signal and a transition timing of a second signal based on the oscillation clock signal or the time-counting clock signal with a resolution higher than a time-counting resolution of the time-counting circuit, and obtains time difference information corresponding to the time difference.
