Pulled from a large tube TV, this one is a real head scratcher. I think it's an RCA chip but all RCA chips I've see use a different part naming scheme (for example CAxxxx).

It's like the parts RCA A23 346-1, and the RCA A23 1101-01 but there's no record (I can find) that lists RCA making parts of this series.

Can anybody identify the IC from the picture below?

  • It's over 20 years old (you can tell from the 9245 date code -- 45th week of 1992). Good luck. – Pete Becker Jun 27 '15 at 12:04
  • Looks like a custom ASIC, so I'm sorry to say it but you're probably SOL – DerStrom8 Jun 27 '15 at 14:56
  • Better to start with the TV model number and search for a manual or schematic. Using that you can locate it by Part ID and a least see the function and hopefully a part number. – user3169 Jun 27 '15 at 19:17

According to Sunergia, A23-837-1 cross references to RCA part #176226. Encompass identifies it as TA7630P, a DC controlled dual volume, balance, bass, treble audio IC. This matches your chip's package and country of origin.
