Logic devices ease MCU I/O expansion
Logic family helps designers overcome the limited number of I/O ports in microcontroller and microprocessor-based embedded systems.
STMicroelectronics has introduced the Xpander Logic family to help customers overcome the limited number of input/output (I/O) ports in microcontroller and microprocessor-based embedded systems Any existing or additional I/O-intensive tasks on the central processing unit (CPU) can be now reassigned to the Xpander Logic IC that operates off ultralow power and comes in a very small package, making it ideal for portable multimedia devices such as mobile phones, smartphones and personal digital assistants
