Thread: Fundamentals of the architecture of a PC

It makes a description of the various components of the system and its functionality. We also analyze the interrelationships between them doing possible operation of an integrated and harmonious system of computing.

Discusses the main components of a computer. In analyzes the input and output devices and finally addresses the storage devices.

We hope this effort will serve as a starting point in the work of research students in engineering and who consider the computer as a powerful tool for the development of their professions.

The motherboard is the card Main and is considered as the nerve center of the computer. All other components of a system consisting connect to it and are under its administration.

Physically, the card is electronic in material synthetic on that there is an electronic circuit that connects different elements that are attachments on it. The main ones are.

The bus is the path that runs an electrical impulse carrying data of a component to another. These roads are the means of communication that allow the exchange of data. On a PC you can find several bus types.

The bus of the processor is the channel communication between processor and components Support such as memory external cache. Furthermore this bus transmits the data to the main system bus. This bus operates regularly much faster than other buses. It consists of three types of circuits. Address of control and data.

This bus serves as a channel of communication between the processor and memory. Of agreement the manufacturer of the main board this bus can be independent of the processor or bus be integrated into it.
