AN-006: W65C21S Replacement Notes for Obsolete PIA Devices


The W65C21S can replace older and obsolete NMOS and CMOS versions of the 6520/6521/6820/6821 Peripheral Interface Adapter (PIA) supplied by WDC's licensees and others.






Comparison of W65C21S to other PIA Devices

The W65C21S is Pin and Functionally Compatible with the following devices.

CMD / GTE - G65SC21
Hitachi - HD6821, HD6321 (CMOS)
MOS Technology - 6521
Motorola / Freescale - M6820, M6821
Rockwell - R6520, R6521, R65C21
ST Micro - EF6821

Features for New Designs

- RoHS/Green Compliant
- Two 8-bit bidirectional I/O Ports with individual data direction control
- Static to 14MHz operation
- The PIA has been used with many different 8/16/32-bit processors
- Two program controlled interrupt outputs
- Extensible architecture provides easy I/O expansion
- Compatible with the WDC 65xx 14MHz microprocessor family 8-bit data bus

Buffer Differences

- Port A Input buffers supply 50 uA pull up current
- Port A Output buffers match Port B drive current when in output mode
- The changes were made to both reduce the current for lower power CMOS systems and to speed up the output drivers for higher speed
