MotherboardForm Factor: 
 .motherboard comes in different sizes ,shapes and models. 
,the height and width (dimensions) of the motherboard is known as 
motherboard Form Factor. 
 The motherboard form factor describes its general shape, type of case , 
power supply it can use and it’s physical organization. 
 The length to width of Mobo, the placement of the mounting holes, the no. 
of extension slots, the type of supported hard disk interfaces ,USB ports 
etc. determines the quantity of motherboard. 
Some of the different form factors are. 
1) AT 12’’ wide 350*305mm (1992-1993) 
2) Baby AT 8.5’’ wide 330*216mm (1993-1997) 
3) ATX _ 305*244mm (1995-2004) 
4) Micro ATX or _ 
BTX or other 325*266mm (2004 Onwards)

CHIPSET BASICS: 
27/11/2014 
 To reduce the number of chips on the motherboard, the 
logics around the processor are integrated into two or three 
chips. 
 These chips work in conjunction with processor and 
contain more than one logic like DMA logic, timer logic, 
interrupt logic and peripheral interface logic. 
Hence these chips are called as chipset. 
Definition: Chipset 
Set of two or three chips with integrated logics to 
support processor 
kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 4
Chipset: 
. 
 The chipset represents the connection between the 
processor and everything else 
 The processor can’t talk to the memory, adapter 
boards, devices without going through the chipset 
 If processor is the brain, the chipset is spine and 
central nervous system of computer. 
e.g. chipset manufacturers: 
Intel, Acer Labs, Silicon Integrated System (SIS) and 
AMD etc. 
27/11/2014 kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 5
Chipset Architecture: 
Intel has used two different chipset architectures: 
i. North/South bridge architecture 
ii. Hub architecture 
 All the chipsets introduced from the 800 series onwards, 
use the hub architecture. 
27/11/2014 kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 6
North/South Bridge Architecture: 
Most of Intel’s earlier chipsets are broken into a multi-tier architecture, 
consisting North and South Bridge components as well as a Super I/O 
Chip. Fig. 1.2 shows North/South Bridge architecture.

 North/South Bridge Architecture: 
27/11/2014 kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 8
 i. The North Bridge :(MCH) 
 Also known as Memory Controller Hub MCH. 
 North bridge is the connection between the high-speed 
processor bus and the slower AGP and PCI 
buses. 
 It is referred as the PAC (PCI/AGP Controller). 
 main component of the motherboard and is placed 
beside the processor. 
 runs at high/full motherboard (processor bus) speed 
 modern chipsets use a single chip North bridge 
 however older ones consist of up to three different 
chips. 
27/11/2014 kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 9
 Functions of Northbridge: 
 North bridge controls the flow of data between CPU and RAM. 
 It also controls the data transfer from graphics port(AGP) & Ethernet 
(LAN) 
 It has a heat sink attached over it for used for cooling effect for heat 
generated because of the very large amount of data traffic which 
passes it .

 ii. The South Bridge: (ICH) 
 Also known as I/O controller Hub (ICH). 
 connection between the PCI bus and the slower ISA bus. 
 It is the lower speed component in the chipset and has 
always been a single individual chip. 
 It also contains dual IDE hard disk controller interfaces, 
one to two USB interfaces and even CMOS RAM and real-time 
clock functions. 
 It contains all the components that make up the ISA 
bus, including the interrupt and DMA controllers 
27/11/2014 kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 11
 Functions of Southbridge: 
 It is responsible for data transfer from the hard disk, 
CDROM, other I/O devices into the link channel which 
connects the north bridge to south bridge . 
 Some of the other components used by south bridge are 
PCI ports, USB ports & ATA. 
27/11/2014 kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 12
 Hub Architecture: 
 The newer chipsets from Intel use hub architecture. 
 In hub architecture , North bridge chip is called as 
Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and South bridge chip is 
called as I/O Controller Hub (ICH). 
 MCH is connected to ICH via a 266 MB/s bus sometimes 
also known as DMI (Direct Media Interface). 
 MCH chip supports memory and AGP while ICH chip 
provides connectivity for PCI,USB,sound,IDE hard disk and 
LAN. 
 Systems that include integrated graphics use a Graphics 
Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) instead of MCH. 
27/11/2014 kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 13
 Hub Architecture: 
There are two main variations in the hub 
interface: 
i) AHA (Accelerated Hub Architecture): Intel Hub architecture 
also known as AHA 
It is used by 8×× series of chipsets. 
ii.) DMI (Direct Media Interface): 
It is used by 9×× and 3× series chipsets. DMI is basically 
a dedicated 4 bit wide PCI Express connection allowing 1 
gbps in each direction

 BUSES ON MOTHERBOARD 
(EXPANSION OR I/O SLOT): 
Definition: BUS – 
a set of electronic signal pathways that allows information and 
signals to travel between components inside or outside of a 
computer. 
 Bus is a group of wires through which the CPU 
communicates with memory, coprocessor, keyboard and other 
ICs in the motherboard. 
 These electronic pathways are nothing but a tiny wires that 
carry information, data and different signals throughout the 
computer between the different components. 
27/11/2014 kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 23
 Bus is divided into two types: 
 Internal Bus: (system bus) 
connects the different components inside the case CPU, system 
memory, and all the other components on motherboard. 
 External Bus: (Expansion Bus) 
connects different external devices ,peripherals ,expansion slots,I/o 
ports and drive connections to rest of computers. 
 It is slower than the system bus. 
 Data Bus : 
 these are dedicated pathways of internal bus or external bus are 
used to carry the data or information around different components . 
 Address Bus: 
 computer has to keep a map of different locations in memory, and it 
has to transmit and describe those memory locations to the other 
parts so that they can access it ,these memory locations travels along 
address bus. 
27/11/2014 kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 24
BUSES ON MOTHERBOARD 
(EXPANSION OR I/O SLOT): 
 The PC has a hierarchy of different buses as the processor 
bus and I/O buses 
 processor bus : 
• also called as Front Side Bus (FSB). 
• It is the communication pathway between the CPU and 
motherboard chipset. 
 I/O bus : It enables your CPU to communicate with peripheral 
devices.

Difference between PCI and PCI Express: 
PCI/PCIX PCI-Express 
PCI was created by Intel in 1993 PCI Express was created in 2004 
It has a backward compatibility to older 
PCI devices. 
It offers no compatibility with older PCI 
devices 
PCI,PCI-X buses are half duplex 
bidirectional. 
PCI-e are full duplex bidirectional. 
PCI-X slots are longer than PCI-e ,which 
can be a problem for ATX motherboard 
with small form factor. 
PCI-e slots are smaller than PCI and hence 
good for small motherboards. 
PCI-X has a parallel interface PCI -e has a serial interface . 
It uses parallel technology and shared 
parallel buses. 
It uses high speed serial technology and 
high speed point to point serial buses. 
Parallel interface is wide, slower, 
unidirectional. 
Serial interface is narrow, fast, 
bidirectional 
PCI-X is currently supporting upto X16 
standard at 4Gbps. 
PCI-e is currently supporting upto X32 
Standard at 8Gbps.

Processor Bus: 
 Also called as Front Side Bus(FSB) is a communication path 
between CPU and motherboard chipset specifically north 
bridge(MCH). 
 FSB serves as a connection between the CPU and rest of the 
h/w via a chipset . 
 FSB includes data bus and address buses of CPU. 
 This bus runs at full motherboard speed between 66MHz and 
800MHz in modern systems. 
 Buses like PCI,AGP and memory bus all connect to a chipset in 
order for data flow between connected devices. 
 This same bus also transfer data between CPU and external (L2) 
Cache. 
 Bandwidth of FSB is determined by width of data bus ,it’s 
frequency and data transfer per clock. 
 E.g. a 8 bit bus at a frequency of 100MHz that performs 4 
transfer per cycle has 
= 8B*100MHz*4/cycles 
=3200MB/s

Logical Memory Organization: 
27/11/2014 
( Conventional Memory, Expanded Memory, 
Extended Memory, Upper Memory) 
The first version of this logical memory “map” divided the 
1 MB into two sections – conventional memory and upper 
memory. 
 Conventional Memory: 
 The first 640KB of system memory is called Conventional Memory 
 This area is available for standard DOS programs ,driver 
programs etc. For this conventional memory has also been 
called DOS memory or lower memory. 
 conventional memory occupies first 640 kb address from 
00000h to 9ffffh. 
 The lowest part of conventional memory (0 – 1 KB) would be 
used to store interrupt vectors. 
i.e. addresses that point to actual BIOS routines and device 
drivers that execute in response to certain events, for example, 
pressing a key on the keyboard 
kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 37
 Conventional memory would also be used to hold device driver 
code and TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) programs. 
e.g.-: small special-purpose applications that remain in 
memory even when they are not running, so that they can be 
recalled quickly if needed (for example, virus checking Software). 
 Features: 
 Limited to 640 KB. 
 Available to all the pc’s. 
 By default DOS, device driver’s and TSR’s 
load in conventional memory but virtually 
every program can use this memory.

Upper Memory Area: 
 The upper 384kb of system memory between 640 KB and 1 MB 
immediately above conventional memory is called Upper 
Memory Area or UMA . 
 It is reserved by certain devices (such as video cards, network 
cards, etc.) as buffer areas - to store data so that it could be 
accessed directly by the CPU, this area of memory was also 
called reserved memory. 
 Upper memory would also incorporate the physical memory 
found on the BIOS ROM chip (on the motherboard).

 Expanded Memory: 
 An older standard for accessing memory above 1MB is 
called expanded memory. 
 software vendors such as Lotus and Microsoft were 
already developing application programs that would 
require more memory 
 Installing more memory on the motherboard was not 
possible, since the 20-bit address bus of the 8088 
processor could only support 1MB of RAM. 
 To solve this problem, a special adapter board called an 
EMS (expanded memory system) card was developed 
that would plug into an expansion slot. The card was 
capable of holding an extra 32 MB of RAM. 
 Expanded memory uses a protocol called Expanded 
Memory Specification. 
 Expanded Memory Specification developed by Lotus, Intel 
and Microsoft (LIM) so, it is also called as(LIM) meory.

 Expanded Memory: 
 Features of Expanded memory: 
 It is also called as LIM memory or EMS memory. 
 It can be used with PC’s, AT’s , XT’s or 8 bit systems. 
 80386 and above pc’s can make their extended memory to 
expanded memory. 
27/11/2014 kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 41
 Extended Memory: 
 The 80286 and 80386 processors introduced a 24-bit 
address bus, and with it the capability of addressing 
up to 16 MB of RAM. 
 This extra memory above the 1 MB limit would be 
known as extended memory 
 A special program called HIMEM.SYS is used to 
control the extended memory, which is used to store 
the operating system and application programs while 
they are being executed by the CPU. 
 HIMEM.SYS is a manager which sets up extended 
memory according to extended memory 
specification(XMS). 
 XMS is a standard that pc program uses for accessing 
extended memory. 
 Extended memory is also referred as XMS which is act 
a protocol for using extended memory. 
27/11/2014 kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 42
 Applications : 
 Best for Windows and multitasking OS. 
 Used by OS/2,Unix,win(3,95,98,NT/2000/XP). 
 Only possible with system based on 80286 and later ;impossible 
with XTs. 
 On 80286 or 80386 systems, extended memory limit is 16MB(16 
bit addressing) 
 On 80386,80486,Pentium,PentiumMMX, Pentium pro systems 
limit is 4GB(32 bit addressing). 
 On Pentium-II and newer processor have a limit of 64GB(36 bit 
addressing)

  • 1. YOGESHWARI EDUCATION SOCIETY’s Approved By: AICTE New Delhi,DTE Government of Maharashtra & Affiliated to MSBTE,Mumbai 27/11/2014 kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 1
  • 2. kshirsagar M.R.(CO 27/11/2014 Dept) 2 Chapter 1: MOTHERBOARD AND ITS COMPONENTS presented By: Ms. Kshirsagar M.R M.E.(CNE) Lecturer Computer Department
  • 3. 27/11/2014 MotherboardForm Factor:  .motherboard comes in different sizes ,shapes and models. ,the height and width (dimensions) of the motherboard is known as motherboard Form Factor.  The motherboard form factor describes its general shape, type of case , power supply it can use and it’s physical organization.  The length to width of Mobo, the placement of the mounting holes, the no. of extension slots, the type of supported hard disk interfaces ,USB ports etc. determines the quantity of motherboard. Some of the different form factors are. 1) AT 12’’ wide 350*305mm (1992-1993) 2) Baby AT 8.5’’ wide 330*216mm (1993-1997) 3) ATX _ 305*244mm (1995-2004) 4) Micro ATX or _ BTX or other 325*266mm (2004 Onwards) kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 3
  • 4. CHIPSET BASICS: 27/11/2014  To reduce the number of chips on the motherboard, the logics around the processor are integrated into two or three chips.  These chips work in conjunction with processor and contain more than one logic like DMA logic, timer logic, interrupt logic and peripheral interface logic. Hence these chips are called as chipset. Definition: Chipset Set of two or three chips with integrated logics to support processor kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 4
  • 5. Chipset: .  The chipset represents the connection between the processor and everything else  The processor can’t talk to the memory, adapter boards, devices without going through the chipset  If processor is the brain, the chipset is spine and central nervous system of computer. e.g. chipset manufacturers: Intel, Acer Labs, Silicon Integrated System (SIS) and AMD etc. 27/11/2014 kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 5
  • 6. Chipset Architecture: Intel has used two different chipset architectures: i. North/South bridge architecture ii. Hub architecture  All the chipsets introduced from the 800 series onwards, use the hub architecture. 27/11/2014 kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 6
  • 7. North/South Bridge Architecture: Most of Intel’s earlier chipsets are broken into a multi-tier architecture, consisting North and South Bridge components as well as a Super I/O Chip. Fig. 1.2 shows North/South Bridge architecture. North Bridge South Bridge USB ATA Floppy,COM,LPT, keyboard,mouse BIOS and other I/O devices CPU RAM Video card (AGP) Ethernet PCI Express,PCI 27/11/2014 kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 7
  • 8.  North/South Bridge Architecture: 27/11/2014 kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 8
  • 9.  i. The North Bridge :(MCH)  Also known as Memory Controller Hub MCH.  North bridge is the connection between the high-speed processor bus and the slower AGP and PCI buses.  It is referred as the PAC (PCI/AGP Controller).  main component of the motherboard and is placed beside the processor.  runs at high/full motherboard (processor bus) speed  modern chipsets use a single chip North bridge  however older ones consist of up to three different chips. 27/11/2014 kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 9
  • 10.  Functions of Northbridge:  North bridge controls the flow of data between CPU and RAM.  It also controls the data transfer from graphics port(AGP) & Ethernet (LAN)  It has a heat sink attached over it for used for cooling effect for heat generated because of the very large amount of data traffic which passes it . CPU AGP North Bridge RAM South Bridge PCI USB ISA IDE BIOS 27/11/2014 kshirsagar M.R.(CO Dept) 10
  • 11.  ii.
