Discrete components to a complete machine

The 8086 is already a machine described at higher levels of abstraction. However, if you
break it down, its parts are actually electrical components. What components do you think
to make up these elements?
1. BUS
A Computer bus consists of a set of parallel conductors, which may be conventional wires,
copper tracks on a PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD, or microscopic aluminium trails on the
surface of a silicon chip. Each cable carries just one bit, so the number of wires
determines the most significant data WORD the bus can transmit: a bus with eight wires
can carry only 8-bit data words, and hence defines the device as an 8-bit device
2. Multiplexer
The basic structure of an n-input multiplexer is n (m + 1)-input AND gates (that is one
AND gate to decode each of the n = 2m possible combinations of the m control inputs),
all feeding into a single OR gate. The extra (to the m control lines) input to each gate is
connected to one of the n inputs.
3. Registers
In digital electronics, notably computing, hardware registers are circuits
typically composed of flip flops, often with many characteristics similar to memory, such
as The ability to read or write multiple bits at a time, and. Using an address to select a
particular register as a memory address
4. RAM
RAM cell is made up of a transistor and a capacitor within an integrated circuit, and a data
bit is stored in the capacitor.
5. System clock
The system Clock is basically used to maintain a regulated time and it is done using a
quartz crystal located on the motherboard.It is used to synchronize the necessary
components on the motherboard which means they are active when clock is high and
dormant when clock is low.
