When the highly stable oscillator of this embodiment is used in space, when the ambient temperature drops, the temperature control circuit 5 detects a change in the resistance value of the temperature sensitive resistor 3 and increases the current supplied to the heating element 2. As a result, the heat generation amount of the heating element 2 increases, and the temperature of the crystal oscillation circuit 1 is kept constant.0 Since the case of the crystal oscillation circuit 1 where the heating element 2 is wrapped is covered with the heat insulating material 6, It is difficult for heat to escape, and the crystal oscillation circuit 1 can be heated with less current than in the past. On the other hand, when the ambient temperature rises, the temperature control circuit 5 reduces the current supplied to the heating element 2, thereby reducing the amount of heat generated by the heating element 2.
