Hey ya'll!! I hope this is in the right forum, But I have an Orion OEC0015C chip that i can't find any info on. Does anyone know what that IC does? It's a 64-pin DIP chip. It can out of a VCR. I'm thinking it might be a video processor of some sort.
thanks for any help you may have!!

At best you could try to find schematics of particular VCR and figure it out. You won't find any datasheet on the IC itsef.

Orion used to be a Hungarian A/V company. They made ICs and the semiconductor part was bought by Philips, later NXP. This might help tracking down a datasheet.

yeah I could, but the only problem is I don't remember what brand the VCR was made by or the model number. I took it apart years ago. Ill I have was the circuit boards. So I guess i'm screwed!!! :-//

What's the point of having the data sheet for an IC that you won't be able to get more of, and for a device that you already took to pieces years ago, and can't get the schematics of? :-//

Curiosity?

Mainly just wanted to know what it did, I have desoldered the chip so the chip it still good, just don't know what it is or does!!

This site says it's a 240-Pin unbuffered DDR2 SDRAM Modules which makes no sense since it's a DIP-64

This one says in the description that it is an ACT16861 that can be used as two 10-bit transceivers or one 20-bit transceiver.

The ACT16861 is a 56-SSOP which is closer.
But most likely is something else.
Seems like the absence of a datasheet might indicate it's really a knock off for a well known manufacturer.
The good thing is that you can buy more, since they seem to be available from a lot of Chinese distributors but no one has a datasheet nor even a description of what they do.

Those are likely old stock that's been sitting in a warehouse for years, or pulls from recycled VCRs.
I found http://www.belielektronik.rs/document/ICKOLA.pdf (http://www.belielektronik.rs/document/ICKOLA.pdf) which suggests it's an MCU. Then I found an image of the IC, http://www.battery-shop.com.pl/images/oec%200015%20dem..jpg (http://www.battery-shop.com.pl/images/oec%200015%20dem..jpg) , and noticed that "614042" text at the bottom... reminds me of Hitachi part numbering.
And sure enough, the HD614042 is a 4-bit mask-ROM MCU in a DIP64 package (http://www.datasheet-pdf.com/datasheetdownload.php?id=499740). :)

I think it might be a nock-off of the hitachi HD614042!! Thanks guys for the help!!!

Yes, about the only 64 pin DIP you would see in a VCR would be the main microcontroller. Fairly useless for anything else, as they are mask programmed for that specific model VCR.
