Circuit board is the name for the place / board that parts are put on to to make a circuit. All circuit do not have to have a microchip but that board will not do anything fancy. A speaker crossover for example is the only thing I can think of. All micro chips will need a circuit board to connect power, inputs, outputs, or just to mount into a package.
What else can I help you with?
Do all Circuit boards contain microchips?
Yes they all do.AnswerNo, they don't. There are many p.c.bs which use only discrete components.
Where does a microchip go in your computer?
Everywhere. If you open your computer, you'll basically see four things mounted to circuit boards - capacitors, coils, connectors, and microchips. The CPU is a microchip, but there are a number of other microchips which are basically controllers for various other parts. Then there are some pieces which are technically microchips, but which are not really processors. Basically, all of the flat black colored pieces you'd see are microchips.
What holds all of the circuit boards in the computer?
The motherboard
What in a computer holds all circuit boards?
It is the motherboard.
What I hold all of the others circuit board?
In a computer system, the motherboard holds all the other circuit boards. The video, sound, game ports, and all other daughter boards are attached to this important piece of hardware.
What effects do printed circuit boards have on the environment?
All I know is it has heavy metal in it and that's poisonous to the environment.
Are all furnace circuit boards interchangable?
No, not all furnace circuit boards are interchangeable. Each furnace model and brand typically has specific circuit board designs tailored to its particular functions, safety features, and compatibility with other components. Installing an incorrect circuit board can lead to malfunction, safety hazards, or damage to the furnace. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications or consult a professional when replacing a circuit board.
Why is the motherboard is called a mainboard?
Because it is the main circuit board in the computer that connect to all the other boards and component.
Where is the gold located on the computer boards?
It was once used in all the circuit boards such as the motherboard. However this was expensive, and it's rare to find any gold in modern computer electronics.
Are printed circuit boards poisonous?
The short answer is no, but be careful anyway. The board itself is made of paper and epoxy resin which is not toxic but is not good for you. The real problem is the components on the board and the solder. All solder on older boards will contain lead, but most newer boards use lead free solder as much as possible. Electrolytic capacitors if they burst can release corrosive chemicals and many other components contain mercury, gold, silver and various heavy metals. In other words don't eat it and be sure to wash your hands after handling before you eat or smoke. There are often flame retardants that are hazardous (carcinogenic) in PC boards.
Do all circuits contain electricity?
No, not all circuits contain electricity. A circuit is simply a closed loop through which electricity can flow. Electricity will only flow through a circuit if there is a power source, such as a battery or wall outlet, providing the electrical energy.
How were microchips built to go into the machines that now build microchips?
The first integrated circuit masks were hand made, then optically reduced. The wafers were then processed much as they are today using these reduced masks. Hand made masks were used well into the 1970s. All the early microprocessors were done with hand made masks. You can even download from Intel's website now masks and schematics, all hand drawn, for their original 4004.
