The most popular computers of the 1980s such as the Apple II and IBM PC had published schematic diagrams and other documentation which permitted rapid reverse engineering and third-party replacement motherboards. Usually intended for building new computers compatible with the exemplars, many motherboards offered additional performance or other ...
ITE Super I/O chip (IT8712F) SMSC™ (now Microchip) Super I/O chip (FDC37M813) on IBM motherboard Super I/O (sometimes Multi-IO) [ 1 ] is a class of I/O controller integrated circuits that began to be used on personal computer motherboards in the late 1980s, originally as add-in cards , later embedded on the motherboards.
A PC motherboard is the main circuit board within a typical desktop computer, laptop or server. Its main functions are as follows: Its main functions are as follows: To serve as a central backbone to which all other modular parts such as CPU , RAM , and hard drives can be attached as required to create a computer
Haswell featured a FIVR.. Most voltage regulator module implementations are soldered onto the motherboard.Some processors, such as Intel Haswell and Ice Lake CPUs, feature some voltage regulation components on the same CPU package, reduce the VRM design of the motherboard; such a design brings certain levels of simplification to complex voltage regulation involving numerous CPU supply voltages ...
A SO-DIMM slot on a computer motherboard. A SO-DIMM (pronounced "so-dimm" / ˈ s oʊ d ɪ m /, also spelled "SODIMM") or small outline DIMM, is a smaller alternative to a DIMM, being roughly half the physical size of a regular DIMM. The first SODIMMs had 72 pins and were introduced by JEDEC in 1997.
Desktop personal computers have a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse, and a computer case. The computer case holds the motherboard, fixed or removable disk drives for data storage, the power supply, and may contain other peripheral devices such as modems or network interfaces. Some models of desktop computers integrated the monitor and keyboard into ...
Standby power allows a computer to be started remotely via wake-on-LAN and Wake-on-ring or locally via Keyboard Power ON (KBPO) if the motherboard supports it. This standby voltage may be generated by a small linear power supply inside the unit or a switching power supply, sharing some components with the main unit to save cost and energy.
