WDC 65C22

W65C22S Versatile Interface Adapter in a DIP-40 package.

The W65C22 versatile interface adapter (VIA) is an input/output device for use with the 65xx series microprocessor family. Designed by the Western Design Center, the W65C22 is made in two versions, both of which are rated for 14 megahertz operation, and available in DIP-40 or PLCC-44 packages.

As with the NMOS 6522, the W65C22 includes functions for programmed control of two peripheral ports (ports A and B). Two programcontrolled 8-bit bi-directional peripheral I/O ports allow direct interfacing between the microprocessor and selected peripheral units. Each port has input data latching capability. Two programmable data direction registers (A and B) allow selection of data direction (input or output) on an individual I/O line basis.

Also provided are two programmable 16-bit interval timer/counters with latches. Timer 1 may be operated in a one-shot or free-run mode. In either mode, a timer can generate an interrupt when it has counted down to zero. Timer 2 functions as an interval counter or a pulse counter. If operating as an interval counter, timer 2 is driven by the microprocessor's Ø2 clock source. As a pulse counter, timer 2 is triggered by an external pulse source on the chip's PB6 line.

Serial data transfers are provided by a serial to parallel/parallel to serial shift register, with bit transfers synchronized with the Ø2 clock. Application versatility is further increased by various control registers, including an interrupt flag register, an interrupt enable register and two Function Control Registers.
