Hi
I'm looking at a Hitachi HA13525B on a PCB on an old harddrive.
It is the motor driver controller for the harddrive motor and the harddrive is from around year 2000.
I've found a datasheet that is kind of similar but it is for the HA13501S which seems to have a similar application and it has the right package.
All in all it is a hard chip to find a datasheet for. It may be that it is some kind of bespoke chip.
The package is: MP-26DT
As I'm an intrepid noob
, and I'm doing this to learn things for the fun of learning
.
Is there a way to poke at the chip and see if one can figure out what the function of the pins are?
Like I wrote, it is still on the PCB and not all the legs are connected from what I can see.
Thanks for any pointers!
