the industry standard WS82C55A and is manufactured using a self-aligned silicon gate CMOS process (Scaled SAJI IV). The WS82C55A is a general purpose programmable I/O device which may be used with many different microprocessors. There are 24 I/O pins which may be individually programmed in 2 groups of 12 and used in 3 major modes of operation. The high performance and industry standard configuration of the make it compatible with the 80C86, and other microprocessors.

WS82C55A design insures low operating power. TTL compatibility over the full military temperature range and bus hold circuitry eliminate the need for pull-up resistors. The advanced SAJI process results in performance equal to or greater than existing functionally equivalent products at a fraction of the power.
