Synertek

Synertek

Synertek, Inc. was an American semiconductor manufacturer founded in 1973 as a masked ROM house, whose product range branched into a broad offering of MOS/LSI chips (static RAMs, ROMs, EPROMs, dynamic and static shift registers) and then, sometime before 1979, second sourced versions of MOS Technology's successful 6502 8-bit microprocessor, and the (less successful) Philips/Signetics 2650 processor.

Synertek acquired Microcomputer Associates, consisting of engineers Manny Lemas and Ray Holt, after which the company was renamed "Synertek Systems, Inc.". In 1978, Synertek released a 6502-based single board computer/evaluation kit called the SYM-1, a derivative of MOS Technology/Commodore Semiconductor Group's KIM-1.

Synertek's semiconductor fabrication plant in Santa Clara, California operated from 1974 to 1985. There was Superfund attention to pollution at the Synertek factory site. Sometime after 1979, Synertek was acquired by Honeywell.
