Motherboards are printed circuit boards used in PCs, also called system boards or mainboards, and are the central boards needed in a PC. When you build a PC, you attach various necessary components to the motherboard to add functionality.
Motherboards connect most parts that make up a PC: the CPU, memory, graphics board, mouse, and keyboard. Motherboards also contain a chipset and BIOS program that controls the basic functions of the PC.
Motherboards are key components in the controller of a personal computer or any device that needs to be controlled or displayed for analysis.
Motherboards enable the development of controllers and the assembly of personal computers that meet requirements in a relatively short time and at a low cost since they provide the following:
Motherboards allow for product development with only software development and minimal hardware development.
Motherboards interface between the main parts of a computer and allow them to exchange data with each other. Typical parts that are interfaced by Motherboards are:
Motherboards also contain a BIOS program that performs initialization and basic control for each part before the OS is started. Motherboards integrate and manage each part through the interface and BIOS program.
Motherboards are available in a wide variety of products for different applications. The appropriate Motherboards should be selected according to your specifications and budget.
