}} introduced in 1975 that was originally developed by a team led by the engineer Chuck Peddle at MOS Technology (later purchased by Commodore).


The '''MOS 6502''' is an 8-bit processor that was originally developed by a team led by the engineer Chuck Peddle. It was introduced in 1975 and it is still being produced. It was produced by the following companies.
It was second-sourced by other companies such as California Micro Devices (GTE Microcircuits), Rockwell, and Synertek. There are several less popular variants, including the 28-pin 6503, [[Rockwell R6504|6504]], 6505, 6506, and 6507 with fewer address pins (4K or 8K address space) and various control signal options.
California Micro Devices (GTE Microcircuits)
*  Commodore Semiconductor Group (MOS Technology)
Rockwell
Synertek
* Western Design Center
Currently it is only produced by Western Design Center (WDC)


It was a popular choice of processor because of its low price and high capabilities. It was used in multiple early computers such as the Commodore 64, Commodore VIC-20, Apple II, BBC micro, and many others.  
Western Design Center (WDC) first developed a CMOS version, which is still in production as of 2019.  In addition, several implementations (commercial as well as free) are available to synthesize the core into FPGA designs.
