What is Mother Board

• The motherboard is the main circuit board inside
  your PC.
• Every components at some point communicates
  through the motherboard, either by directly
  plugging into it or by communicating through one
  of the motherboards ports.
• One big communication highway.
• To provide a platform for all the other
  components and peripherals to talk to each other.

COMPONENTS

• Some of the key components found on a motherboard
  include
• The CPU (microprocessor)
• Microchips that provide support for the CPU.
• Random Access Memory (RAM) chips.
• The system Bus
• A Keyboard controller and connector.
• A mouse connector.
• Power connectors.
• Serial and parallel communications ports.

How it works?

• Specific actions
• Electronic impulse
• Board determines
• What the impulse is?
• What is needed?
• Which component?
• Signal sent to component
• Examples (type a key from the keyboard)

• NON-INTEGRATED
• Commonly used mother boards
• AT
• ATX

SUMMARY

• to provide the electrical and logical connections
  by which the other components of the system
  communicate.
• nearly all motherboards include logic and
  connectors to support commonly-used input devices
  
• With the steadily declining costs and size of
  integrated circuits, it is now possible to
  include support for many peripherals on the
  motherboard.
• The "Chipset" is the set of integrated circuits
  that control most of the activities that take
  place on the motherboard. They also interface
  with most of the circuits of the motherboard.
