DESCRIPTION
Synertek SY6522 Versatile Interface Adapter (VIA) in a 40-pin plastic dual in-line package. The photographed unit carries the Synertek logo with the SY6522 and 8135 markings, plus 3040/128 and SINGAPORE on the underside. The top has light surface marks; see photos.

Features:
Two 8-bit bidirectional I/O ports.
Two 16-bit programmable interval timers.
Serial shift register for parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel conversion.
Latching on the I/O port inputs.
Handshake control lines for data transfers between the processor and peripherals.
Single +5 V supply.
1 MHz speed grade.

Compatibility:
Direct replacement for SY6522 in 40-pin sockets designed for the 6522 VIA. Same 6522 VIA function as the MOS Technology 6522 and Rockwell R6522; match the speed grade to your system (the A-suffix versions are 2 MHz). Used with 6502-family microprocessors, including the Synertek SYM-1 and Commodore 1541 disk drive and VIC-20. The W65C22 is a later CMOS version; check electrical differences before substituting.

Q&A:
Q: What does the 6522 VIA do?
A: It is an I/O controller for 6502-family systems, with two 8-bit ports, two 16-bit timers, and a serial shift register.

Q: What is the difference between the SY6522 and SY6522A?
A: The SY6522 is the 1 MHz version. The SY6522A is the 2 MHz version.

Q: Will this work in a Commodore 1541 or VIC-20?
A: Those machines use the 6522 VIA. Confirm your board's clock speed matches the 1 MHz rating.

Q: What does 8135 mean?
A: 8135 is the date code (1981, week 35).

Troubleshooting:
Confirm +5 V at VCC and ground at VSS (pin 1).
Check that the system clock does not exceed 1 MHz for this version.
Verify chip select and register select lines are decoding correctly.
Check that the reset line releases after power-up.
