Tulolähtöliitännät

Tulolähtöliitännät, often abbreviated as I/O (Input/Output) liitännät, refer to the hardware interfaces that allow a computer system to communicate with the outside world. These interfaces enable the transfer of data into and out of the central processing unit (CPU) and memory. Input devices, such as keyboards, mice, and scanners, use I/O ports to send data to the computer. Conversely, output devices, like monitors, printers, and speakers, receive data from the computer through these same or similar interfaces.

Modern computer systems utilize a variety of I/O technologies to accommodate different types of peripherals and data transfer speeds. Common examples include Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports, which are versatile and widely used for connecting a broad range of devices. Other important I/O interfaces include those for networking (e.g., Ethernet), audio (e.g., headphone jacks), and display (e.g., HDMI, DisplayPort). The design and management of these tulolähtöliitännät are crucial for the overall functionality and usability of any computing device, ensuring seamless interaction between the internal components of the system and external hardware. The efficiency of I/O operations can significantly impact system performance.
