[misc.misc] What is this Chip ?

stevep@cs.keele.ac.uk (Steve Philips) (09/21/88)

     I'm doing some work with engine management systems and have come across
     a chip that nobody seems to be able to identify. It's fitted in Motorola
     equipment and is a 40 pin dil plastic chip, almost certainly NMOS with
     on board ROM and RAM. I know it has a 4MHz clock and is based on the
     6800, but that's all. The identification numbers on the chip are :-

			 ZC85269CP
			 51R40276505
			 GM58441

     Does anybody have any ideas ?

I have an idea, tho' impossible to verify from where i sit.  GM, Ford, Chrysler,
etc, etc, buy a lot of 6805 family chips (tho this could be a 6801 chip, too) that
come with masked ROM.  When Motorola builds those parts, they are stamped with
the customer's part number, not Motorola's.  I don't know exactly what kind of
records are kept in the factory to identify these customer part numbers but my
experience has been that it is Motorola policy NOT to give out information
regarding such proprietary parts.  The only way to know exactly WHICH MC68705,
MC68701 or MC68704, or HC part or whatever, is to contact the vendor of whatever
equipment you found the thing in and ask them.  If the equipment is all from
Motorola, it is probably from Motorola AIEG (Automotive and Industrial
Electronics Group) and the same policy will still hold -- you'll have to
contact the originating group in AIEG to determine what the part is.  Good
luck!
