What is a single board computer (SBC)?
|
A single board computer (SBC) is a complete computer system on a single board. The design is centered on one or more microprocessors with RAM, I/O and all other features needed to be a functional computer on the one board. The first true single-board computer, called dyna-micro, was based on the Intel C8080A and used Intel's first EPROM, the C1702A. E&L Instruments in 1976 re-branded the dyna-micro as MMD-1 (Mini-Micro Designer 1). It was used as an example microcomputer in the popular 8080 "BugBook" series of the time. Embedded SBCs today are boards providing all the required I/O with no provision for plug-in cards. Applications are typically gaming (slot machines, video poker), kiosk and machine control. SBCs are most commonly used in industrial situations where they are used in rackmount format for process control or embedded within other devices to provide control and interfacing. Because of the high levels of integration, reduced component counts and reduced connector counts, SBCs are often smaller, lighter, more power efficient and more reliable than comparable multi-board computers. |
