Electronic hardware can range from individual [[chips]]/[[electrical network\|circuits]] to distributed [[information processing]] systems. Well designed electronic hardware is composed of hierarchies of functional modules which inter-communicate via precisely defined interfaces.▼ ▲Electronic hardware can range from individual [[Computer chips\|chips]]/[[electrical network\|circuits]] to distributed [[Data processing\|information processing]] systems.

For example nearly all computers include a [[power supply]] which consists of circuitry not involved in data processing but rather powering the data processing circuits. Similarly, a computer may output information to a [[computer monitor]] or [[audio amplifier]] which is also not involved in the computational processes. ==See also== * [[Digital electronics]] ==References== <references /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Electronic Hardware}} ~~[[Category:Electronics terms]]~~ [[Category:Electronic engineering]]
