MOTHER BOARD

Microprocessor, one slot of a card cage or a chain connected to the motherboard with equipment before the advent of mainframe computers made in the cable is connected with, very old designs are wire connections between the discrete card connector pins, but Bare board soon became standard practice. Central processing unit, memory and peripherals plug into individual printed circuit boards were located in the motherboard.

During the 1980s and the 1990s, the increasing number of functions for the peripheral action on the motherboard has become economically (see below). In late 1980, including plate ICs start (Super I / O chips are called) a series of low speed peripherals: keyboard, mouse, disk drives, serial and parallel ports able to tolerate. Since the 1990s, many personal computer expansion card for all motherboards without the need for audio, video, storage and networking activities supporting the full range, 3 to play D and more common as computer graphics, graphics whole system card only as a separate component retained. Motherboard early pioneers to build Micronics, Mylex, AMI, DTK, Hauppauge, Orchid Technology, gigabyte, DFI, and a number of manufacturers based in Taiwan. PC, as Apple II and IBM PC is published as schematics and other documents that the Board of rapid change and allow third-party reverse engineering. Generally, to build computers compatible with the new instance additional performance or other attributes many motherboards and original equipment manufacturers had offered to improve. And card with a pre Motherboard equipment is applied for any terms or additional capacity expansion. In modern terms, this integrated system and Control Board for the TV, washing machine, etc. to add a special motherboard or with the ability to expand their performance refers to a printed circuit / daughterboards' with additional capacity "

Most computers IBM compatible computer motherboards produced today, now about 90% of global PC sales represent Citation [prepared for the needs] are doing. A motherboard, like a backplane, communication system, other factors such electrical connection provides, but also a central processing unit and motherboard, unlike other sub homes and equipment. Motherboards, such mobile phones, timers, clocks, as is used in many other electronic devices, and other small electronic devices. A typical desktop computer, a microprocessor, main memory, motherboard and other necessary components. Such external storage, controllers for video display and sound as the other components and peripheral devices can be connected to the motherboard and plug, card or wire, although in modern computers is increasingly common for these external devices on motherboard Some of the integrated. An important component of a microprocessor chip motherboard is set, the CPU and various buses and provides external support for interfaces between components are supported. Chipset some extent, facilities and capabilities of the motherboard determines.
