Western Design Center

The Western Design Center (WDC), located in Mesa, Arizona, USA, is a company developing and manufacturing MOS 65xx-based microprocessors, microcontrollers (µCs), and related support chips. WDC was founded in 1978 by co-holder of the MOS Technology 6502 patent, Bill Mensch, himself a former MOS employee.

In addition to the actual microchips, WDC offers chips designs in the form of IP cores to be used inside other chips (like ASICs), and provides ASIC and embedded systems consulting services revolving around their processor designs. WDC also makes C compilers, assembler/linker packages, simulators, development/evaluation boards, and in-circuit emulators for their processors.__NOTOC__
