Abstract
Disclosed herein is a circuit apparatus including: plural modules having functions which can be substituted for each other; a function allocation section configured to set a one-on-one corresponding relationship between a plurality of predetermined functions and the plural modules in response to a control signal inputted thereto and allocate the functions coordinated in accordance with the one-on-one relationship individually to the modules; and first power inputting sections configured to input power supplies to be supplied to the modules. The apparatus further includes: second power inputting sections configured to input power supplies each corresponding to at least one of the functions; and a connection section configured to connect at least some of the first power inputting sections and the second power inputting sections so that each of the power supplies inputted by the second power inputting sections is supplied to that one of the modules to which a function corresponding to the power supply is allocated.
