8243
MCS-48 Input/Output Expander
The Intel 8243 is an input/output expander designed specifically to provide a low cost means of I/O
expansion for the MCS-48 family of single chip microcomputers. Fabricated in 5 volts NMOS, the
8243 combines low cost, single supply voltage and high drive current capability.
The 8243 consists of four 4-bit bidirectional static I/O ports and one 4-bit port which serves as an
interface to the MCS-48 microcomputers. The 4-bit interface requires that only 4 I/O lines of the 8048
be used for I/O expansion, and also allows multiple 8243’s to be added to the same bus.
