Re: Strange Tek part Numbers in an AM503B. Can anyone identify them


 

A quick GOOGLE search shows several Tek hybrids which have 165- part numbers.

160- were proms, ~1984 the available numbers were almost used up. 165- is probably a continuation.

Pete Lancashire would know more and will most likely respond.

My goal is to unlock the secret of how the AM503B works and ultimately to
find the schematic, theory of operation, maintenance manual, etc. so we can
finally fix the plugins.



I am looking into the unusual parts in them at the moment and these 3 parts
are the most puzzling.



1) 160-9569-02. My wild guess is it is a PROM holding a program. For what
processor it might be I have no clue.



2) 165-2456-00. This is a Hypcon package from MAXTEK. I would guess it is
the ASIC running everything that isn't in discrete transistors or TTL glue
logic.



I cannot find any reference to these two entire categories of parts: I have
no parts catalogs that show 160-xxxx-yy or 165-xxxx-yy parts. I don't even
know what a 160 or 165 part could be. Not even a wild guess. I don't even
know if there is a catalog of those kinds of parts. Does anyone know?



3) Finally I have what looks to be a specialized microprocessor (wild ass
guess). This would be an IMP (International Microelectronic Products)
I10412-01. It is a 28 pin SOIC. They are no longer in business as near as I
can tell. That isn't a Tek part. It is not a company I ever heard of. There
is virtually no reference to it anywhere on the internet except it might be
called a "daculator" (that is not a misprint as far as I know) and it might
be related to a Tek 156-6224-00. All Microprocessor, TTL, special function,
etc, etc chips start with 156-xxxx-yy but my Tek IC parts catalog stops
around 156-3000-yy so I have no information on it.
