A single-board computer (SBC) is a complete computer built on a single circuit board, with microprocessor(s), memory, input/output (I/O) and other features required of a functional computer. Unlike a typical personal computer, an SBC may not include slots into which accessory cards ("daughterboards") may be plugged. An SBC may be based on almost any available microprocessor, and may be built up from discrete logic or programmable logic. Simple designs, such as built by computer hobbyists, often use static RAM and low-cost eight or 16 bit processors.

Famous quotes containing the word computer:
“The computer takes up where psychoanalysis left off. It takes the ideas of a decentered self and makes it more concrete by modeling mind as a multiprocessing machine.”
—Sherry Turkle (b. 1948)
