Within this paper, we describe architecture and functionality of the Wide Field Imager (WFI) control and data processing electronics. WFI is one of two scientific instruments of the next European X-ray observatory ATHENA whose development started five years ago. A conceptual design, development models and a number of technology development activities have been performed and results will be shown.
