The '''Peripheral Interface Adapter''' (PIA) is a [[peripheral]] [[integrated circuit]] providing parallel I/O interfacing capability for [[microprocessor]] systems. Common PIAs include the [[Motorola]] MC6820 and MC6821, and the [[MOS Technology]] MCS6520, all of which are functionally identical but have slightly different electrical characteristics. The PIA is most commonly packaged in a 40 pin [[Dual in-line package|DIP package]].
