Electronics engineer Chuck Peddle is mostly known as the main designer of the MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor; the KIM-1 SBC; and its successor the Commodore PET personal computer, both based on the 6502. Peddle was born in 1937 in Bangor, Maine. He worked in a radio station while in high school and joined the Marine Corps in 1955. He attended the University of Maine and afterward went to work for General Electric working with time sharing systems.

  • Electronics engineer Chuck Peddle is mostly known as the main designer of the MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor; the KIM-1 SBC; and its successor the Commodore PET personal computer, both based on the 6502. Peddle was born in 1937 in Bangor, Maine. He worked in a radio station while in high school and joined the Marine Corps in 1955. He attended the University of Maine and afterward went to work for General Electric working with time sharing systems. Later, he worked at Motorola from 1973 on the development of the 6800 processor. Peddle recognized a market for an ultra low price microprocessor and began to champion such a design to complement the £150 Motorola 6800. His efforts were frustrated by Motorola management and he was told to drop the project. He then left for MOS Technology, where he headed the design of the 650x family of processors; these were made as a £60 answer to the Motorola 6800. The most famous member of the 650x series was the 6502, which was subsequently used in many microcomputer devices (some well-known examples from the consumer market being the Apple II, the Commodore VIC-20, the Nintendo Entertainment System or NES, the Atari 8-bit computers and the BBC Micro from Acorn Computers). The 6502 microprocessor design was also modified to support other computers while maintaining backwards compatibility. One such example was the 6510 used in the Commodore 64. Peddle left the company in 1980 together with CBM financer Chris Fish to found Sirius Systems Technology. There, Peddle designed the Victor 9000 personal computer/workstation.

Peddle är mest känd för mikroprocessorn 6502 samt datorkortet KIM-1 SBC och den följande mikrodatorn Commodore PET, båda baserade på 6502-processorn. Peddle arbetade från 1973 på Motorola med 6800-processorn, men lämnade Motorola för MOS Technology, där han designade 650x-processorfamiljen tillsammans med Bill Mensch. Av dessa är 6502 mest känd eftersom den användes i historiskt betydelsefulla mikrodatorer som Apple II och Commodore VIC-20, men även i tv-spelet Nintendo NES.
