I/O ExpandersI/O (input/output) expanders are integrated circuits (ICs) that are used to increase the number of digital I/O (input/output) lines available in an electronic system. I/O expanders are called "I/O expanders" because they expand the number of available I/O lines in a system. I/O expanders are commonly used in a wide range of electronic systems and devices, such as computers, smartphones, and industrial control systems.
Integrated circuits, or ICs, are small, electronic devices that are composed of a large number of transistors, capacitors, and other electronic components, which are fabricated on a single chip of semiconductor material, such as silicon. ICs are commonly used in a wide range of electronic systems and devices, such as computers, smartphones, and televisions.
I/O expanders are typically used in applications where it is necessary to increase the number of digital I/O lines available in an electronic system. They are available in different sizes and styles, to accommodate different I/O line configurations and circuit designs. I/O expanders are essential components in many electronic systems, and they play a critical role in ensuring the reliable operation of the system.
