Abstract

A physical quantity measurement apparatus includes a first resonator, a second oscillator, and an integrated circuit device. The integrated circuit device includes a first oscillation circuit that causes the first resonator to oscillate, and thus generate a first clock signal having a first clock frequency, a second oscillation circuit that causes the second oscillator to oscillate, and thus generate a second clock signal having a second clock frequency which is different from the first clock frequency, and a measurement unit that is provided with a time-to-digital conversion circuit which converts time into a digital value by using the first clock signal and the second clock signal.
