An image forming apparatus includes a light source, a reflector, a photosensitive member, a light receiver, and an integrated circuit chip. The integrated circuit chip outputs, to the light source, a lighting signal for controlling lighting of the light source. The integrated circuit chip includes a synchronizing signal output circuit, a receiver, a first OR circuit, and a first wiring line. The synchronizing signal output circuit is configured to output a synchronizing signal for lighting the light source. The receiver is configured to receive a first image data signal outputted from an external circuit, the first image data signal being for lighting the light source. The first OR circuit is configured to output a first lighting signal that is a logical sum of the synchronizing signal and the first image data signal. The first wiring line connects the synchronizing signal output circuit with the first OR circuit. |
