Question: Charles Ingerham Peddle (born 1937) is an American electrical engineer best known as the main designer of a 6502 microprocessor, from MOS Technology, Inc., ("MOS" being short for Metal Oxide Semiconductor), also known as CSG (Commodore Semiconductor Group), was a semiconductor design and fabrication company based in Norristown, Pennsylvania, in which country?
Context: The Renesas 740 is a family of 8-bit microcontrollers based on the CMOS version of the MOS Technology 6502 processor core.  The family was originally designed by the Mitsubishi Electric semiconductor group. The Motorola 6845 (commonly MC6845) is a video address generator first introduced by Motorola and used among others in the Videx VideoTerm display cards for the Apple II computers, in the MDA, HGC and CGA video adapters for the IBM PC, and in the Amstrad CPC and BBC Micro.  Its functionality was duplicated and extended by custom circuits in the EGA and VGA PC video adapters.  It is related to the later 6545 manufactured by MOS Technology (Commodore Semiconductor Group) and Rockwell (in two variations) and was cloned as the Hitachi HD46505 which was used in many Japanese computers from Sony, Sharp, Panasonic and Casio, and later was used in Videx's UltraTerm card). The Western Design Center (WDC) 65C02 microprocessor is an enhanced CMOS version of the popular NMOS-based 8-bit MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor—the CMOS redesign being made by Bill Mensch in 1978.  Over various periods of time, the 65C02 has been second-sourced by NCR, GTE, Rockwell, Synertek and Sanyo.  The 65C02 has been used in some home computers, as well as in embedded applications, including medical-grade implanted devices. Dr. James R. "Bob" Biard (born May 20, 1931) is an American electrical engineer and inventor who holds 73 U.S. patents including the first commercial light-emitting diode (LED), the optical isolator, the Schottky transistor, and Metal Oxide Semiconductor Read Only Memory (MOS ROM).  He has been on the staff of Texas A&M University as an Adjunct Professor of Electrical Engineering since 1980. Synertek, Inc. was an American semiconductor manufacturer founded in 1973.  The initial founding group consisted of Bob Schreiner (from Fairchild), Dan Floyd, Zvi Grinfas, Jack Balletto, and Gunnar Wetlesen.  The manufacturing technology was MOS/LSI.  Initial products included custom designed devices, as well as a line of standard products (static RAMs, ROMs, 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 and Zilog Z8 microcomputer. William (Bill) David Mensch, Jr. (born February 9, 1945), is an American electrical engineer born in Quakertown, Pennsylvania.  He is best known as a major contributor to the design of the Motorola 6800 8-bit microprocessor, part of the small team that created the MOS Technology 6502 (led by Chuck Peddle), and designer of the 16-bit successor to the 6502, the 65816. Bernard A Yurash (February 17, 1921 – January 25, 2007) was a significant contributor to the creation of the first commercially viable CMOS integrated circuits by finding the sources of mobile sodium ions coming from the manufacturing process.  Today, virtually all digital electronics use CMOS circuitry.  Bernard worked at Fairchild Semiconductor in Silicon Valley from 1958 ( he was employee number 158 ), through the buyouts of the company by Schlumberger and National Semiconductor, and finally retiring in 1990.  In the 1960s Fairchild Semiconductor, a division of Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corp., and Texas Instruments, revolutionized electronics by employing the first integrated circuit technology.  Fairchild's Robert Noyce filed for this patent using deposited (printed) metal lines and Jean Hoerni's Planar Process ( patent also filed by Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments but with using bonding wires ).  At the time virtually all the devices were of the bipolar type which were used to construct RTL and DTL type circuits ( Resistor-Transistor-Logic, Diode-Transistor-Logic), which unfortunately drew more power than was desired, and eventually lost ground to Texas Instruments' TTL (Transistor-Transistor-logic).  The next great technological leap in computer chips would be CMOS transistors, which promised significantly lower power and greater circuit density than the Bipolar circuitry.  Although Frank Wanlass first filed for the CMOS patent in 1963, Fairchild could not produce the devices for commercial output for many years because of the mystery of the mobile ions degrading their performance.  Much research time and money was expended in 1967 and 1968 at Fairchild on trying to manufacture the highly promising technology, the MOS SGT ( Metal Oxide Semiconductor Silicon Gate Technology ) circuits utilizing the field effect from the "gate" on the conducting "channel" from source to drain. Charles Ingerham Peddle (born 1937) is an American electrical engineer best 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. The CSG 65CE02 is a 8/16-bit microprocessor developed by Commodore Semiconductor Group in 1988.  It is a member of the MOS Technology 6502 family. MOS Technology, Inc. ("MOS" being short for Metal Oxide Semiconductor), also known as CSG (Commodore Semiconductor Group), was a semiconductor design and fabrication company based in Norristown, Pennsylvania, in the United States.  It is most famous for its 6502 microprocessor and various designs for Commodore International's range of home computers.
