MaxLinear GPIO Expanders and Ethernet Bridges can add Ethernet to systems with an available USB port. The devices are designed for embedded and industrial applications where space is at a premium. These bridges pack functionality like I2C master, up to 32GPIOs and 4 UARTs, and RS-485 half-duplex control into small QFN packages. To simplify development, MaxLinear’s USB bridging products work with standard software drivers in Windows, Linux, Android, and Max OS X. MaxLinear’s I2C/SMBus and SPI GPIO expanders add up to 16 general-purpose I/O pins and offer enhanced features and functionality.
