Need help with motherboard question.

I need help with an explaination of motherboard parts. If a motherboard has a haswell chip, msata card, battery, wifi AC, soldered ram like macbook, various connects, and battery. What else does it need for chips? Trying to create a motherboard in auto card. I see in the macbook pro retina tear down that it has some other chips and ...objects.....that i have no idea what they are or what they do. Can anyone help me? See reference image please.

original site and images and some good break downs. Also what is the intel thunderbolt controller and intel platform controller that site shows?

As always thanks!


EDIT: there is also stuff on page three i don't now what it is like that stellar chip or whatever. When, why, where, would you need them?

 

bump....any help?

 

Not sure what you are trying to accomplish without a background in electrical engineering but those "thingies" are comprised of resistors, capacitors, transistors, and diodes. Those are the basic building blocks of any modern electronic product. Even for microprocessors. For RF circuitry, there's coils, transducers, crystals, etc.

There's also relays, opto-isolators, FETs, MOSFETs.

As integrated circuits on a modern motherboard, there are clock generators, voltage regulators, thermal diodes, keyboard controllers, flash memory/EEPROM (BIOS), Controller for each subsystem (USB, firewire, FSB, Audio, etc).

 

First get your hands on any old motherboard. Then go over the components and search for their part numbers online. That will help you figure out the answer to your question a lot better than anyone else can.

And did I have a previous post in this thread that got deleted, or am I just imagining things?

 

thank you 2.0! +1 I forgot about EEPROM and a few of those but wow i have no idea all those things existed (never bothered in the past to understand what all those things were). That is a lot of little stuff in there. If it is not too much to ask do you know or feel confident enough to speculate on the macbook pro board i posted how much of those "little things" are related to GPU, 3.5mm, usb, HDMI out, and SD card? If those were gone how much would "disappear" I am about to look at some netbooks and the macbook air to see what is different. I am making a drawing and wonder how accurate it would be....as in if there is enough space for everything.

Thanks! you been a huge help!
