Multi-chip module

Okay kiddo, have you ever played with LEGOs? Do you know how you can put different blocks together to make a bigger and more complicated structure? Well, a multi-chip module is kind of like that.

You see, computers and other electronic devices have things inside them called "chips." These are very small and very important parts that help the device work correctly. But sometimes, one chip isn't enough. Sometimes the device needs lots of different chips to do lots of different things.

That's where the multi-chip module comes in! It's like a special LEGO block that has lots of little compartments inside. Each compartment can hold a different chip. This means that instead of having to fit lots of different chips onto a circuit board, you can put them all inside one multi-chip module which can then be placed onto the circuit board like a regular chip.

Using multi-chip modules can make devices smaller, faster, and more efficient. It's like having a special compartment that lets you keep all your important things organized and working together!
