Abstract
A circuit board on which a first semiconductor device or a second semiconductor device which is different from the first semiconductor device is exclusively mounted, wherein the circuit board comprises a region in which a component configured to form a circuit for achieving a function incorporated in the first semiconductor device but not incorporated in the second semiconductor device is to be mounted, and wherein the component is prevented from being mounted in the region in a case where the first semiconductor device is mounted, and the component is mounted in the region in a case where the second semiconductor device is mounted.
Claims10
A circuit board on which a first semiconductor device or a second semiconductor device which is different from the first semiconductor device is exclusively mounted,
- wherein the circuit board comprises a region in which a component configured to form a circuit for achieving a function incorporated in the first semiconductor device but not incorporated in the second semiconductor device is to be mounted, and
- wherein the component is prevented from being mounted in the region in a case where the first semiconductor device is mounted, and the component is mounted in the region in a case where the second semiconductor device is mounted.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a constituent component for use in forming an image;
- and
- a circuit board which is connected to the constituent component, and on which a first semiconductor device or a second semiconductor device which is different from the first semiconductor device is exclusively mounted,
- wherein the circuit board includes a region in which a component configured to form a circuit for achieving a function incorporated in the first semiconductor device but not incorporated in the second semiconductor device is to be mounted, and
- wherein the component is prevented from being mounted in the region in a case where the first semiconductor device is mounted, and the component is mounted in the region in a case where the second semiconductor device is mounted.
