Abstract:
An angular velocity sensor includes a first substrate having first and second surfaces, a vibrating member disposed on the first substrate and including a drive piece capable of vibrating along the first substrate, a second substrate disposed on the first surface side, a first drive piece control electrode, a first drive piece auxiliary electrode, and a first drive piece control circuit applying a voltage to the first drive piece auxiliary electrode. The first drive piece control circuit adjusts, based on the capacitance generated between the first drive piece control electrode and the first drive piece auxiliary electrode, the voltage to be applied to the first drive piece auxiliary electrode to maintain a constant distance between the first drive piece control electrode and the first drive piece auxiliary electrode.
