A motherboard (sometimes also known as the motherboard, motherboard, motherboard, flat plate or logic board, or colloquially, a mobo) is the main printed circuit board (PCB) found in general-purpose microcomputers and other expandable systems. It maintains and allows communication between many of the crucial electronic components of a system, such as the central processing unit (CPU) and memory, and provides connectors for other peripherals. Unlike a backplane, a motherboard usually contains important subsystems, such as the central processor, chipset input / output and memory controllers, interface connectors and other integrated components for general use.
The motherboard specifically refers to a PCB with expandability and, as the name implies, this board is often referred to as the "mother" of all connected components, which often include peripherals, interface cards and daughter cards: sound cards, video cards, network cards, hard drives or other forms of persistent storage; TV tuner cards, cards that provide additional USB or FireWire slots and a variety of other custom components. Similarly, the term motherboard is applied to devices with a single board and without additional expansions or capabilities, such as control panels in laser printers, televisions, washing machines and other integrated systems with limited expansion capabilities.
