This chapter describes the architecture of the PowerBook G4 17-inch computer. It includes information about
the major components on the main logic board: the microprocessor, the other main ICs, and the buses that
connect them to each other and to the I/O interfaces.
Block Diagram and Buses
This section is an overview of the major ICs and buses on the computer’s main logic board.
