An inventive temperature-compensated crystal oscillator has a construction
such that a crystal oscillator element (5) is accommodated in a container
(1) and an IC element (7) for controlling an oscillation output on the
basis of the oscillation of the crystal oscillator element (5) is mounted
on a lower surface of the container (1). A plurality of electrode pads
(10) at least including plural crystal electrode pads connected to the
crystal oscillator element (5), plural writing control electrode pads,
and an oscillation output electrode pad, a ground electrode pad, a power
source voltage electrode pad and an oscillation control electrode pad
connected to surface mounting external terminals are arranged in a matrix
configuration of m rows.times.n columns (wherein m and n are natural
numbers not smaller than 2) in an IC element mounting area. The IC
element (7) is electrically connected to the electrode pads (10). The
temperature-compensated crystal oscillator is excellent in IC element
bonding reliability, and meets the need for the size reduction of the
entire structure.
