Thank you.  So it is probably an MX1508. 
Now if I can only find some information about it that is not in Chinese.
It appears to have a max of 10V, but I'm not even sure what is the current rating?

Peak Current:

2A

Continuous Current?

 1.35A (One channel  only)

or

0.6A (channel 1) + 1.3A (channel 2)

or

0.8A (channle 1) + 1.2A (channel 2)

MX1508 SOP-16 Four-Channel Dual Brushless DC Motor Driver IC
Overview
The product provides an integrated brushless DC motor drive solution for battery-powered toys, low-voltage or battery-powered motion control applications
case. The circuit integrates two channels of N-channel and P-channel power MOSFET design of the H-bridge drive circuit, suitable for driving electric toy car steering
Wheel and rear drive, (drive brushless DC motor or drive two stepping motors). The circuit has a wide operating voltage range (from
2V to 9.6V), the maximum continuous output current of the steering wheel reaches 0.8A, and the maximum peak output current reaches 1.5A. Rear wheel drive maximum continuous output power
Flow reaches 1.5A, the maximum peak output current reaches 2A.
The drive circuit built-in thermal protection circuit. Through the drive circuit load current is much greater than the maximum circuit current, by the package cooling capacity
Limit, the internal chip chip temperature will rise rapidly, once more than the set value (typical 150 °C), the internal circuit will immediately turn off the output power
Rate, cut off the load current, to avoid the temperature continued to rise caused by plastic packaging smoke, fire and other security risks. Built-in temperature hysteresis circuit, indeed
After the circuit is restored to a safe temperature, the circuit is allowed to be re-controlled.
The
Features:
a. Low standby current (less than 0.1uA);
b. Low static operating current;
c. Integrated H bridge drive circuit;
d. Built-in anti-common conduction circuit;
e low conduction resistance of the power MOSFET;
F. Built-in overheat protection circuit (TSD) with hysteresis effect;
g. Antistatic rating: 3KV (HBM).
Typical applications
a. 2-6 AA / AAA battery powered motor drive;
b. 2-6 nickel-hydrogen / nickel-cadmium rechargeable battery-powered toy motor drive;
c. 1-2 lithium battery-powered motor drive

Hello,

Any ideas on this IC?




It is in a USB charge & communication board.
Pin-2 is connecting to USB data-
Pin-3 is connecting to USB data+
Pin-6 is connecting to USB +5V
Pins 1, 4, 5 can be connected at ground or/and one an other.
It is in parallel with USB data pins.
It is not connecting as USB data filter.
The signals don't pass through IC.

Hi all,

Any idea what this part from STMicroelectronics could be? "ST L6401ES" in a Multiwatt-11 package

Thanks!

Found you something: http://www.jotrin.com/product/parts/L6401. There seems to be a datasheet downloadable, but you need a login to do so.

Clicking the datasheet download link on that page (with an account) takes you to a search on the ST site for L6401. With no results...

This doide'ish thing, what is it? It is used in an induction stove, I guess to monitor the temperature of the plate. It has a voltage drop of 3V both ways so what part does that? The drop slightly decreases when I warm it up by hand.
First picture is how it sits in the stove against the bottom of the glass plate (separated by some kind of isolating plate), the 'diode' legs are downwards into the red rubber, the aluminium (?) 'flag' is touching the diode.

Looks like a thermistor. What is the resistance? Probably 10k or 100k.

You are probably right, if I measure the resistance it is around 100K but not stable at all, but the voltage drop is as stable as 2.995V, so that made me wonder.

I have a bag full of them along with other motor control IC's (three phase, Stepper, DC...) so it might be a control IC or similar.

Elusive component! Guess I'll have to. Strange not to find any reference whatsoever...

Seems very probable - the L prefix seems to be used by ST for motor control stuff (as well as a few other oddities), there are even some other L64xx devices such as the L6470 microstepping driver. Perhaps ES indicates engineering sample, and the part never made it to market?

That makes sense... from an ST datasheet:

"Parts marked as "ES", "E" or accompanied by an Engineering Sample notification letter, are not yet qualified and therefore not yet ready to be used in production and any consequences deriving from such usage will not be at ST charge. In no event, ST will be liable for any customer usage of these engineering samples in production. ST Quality has to be contacted prior to any decision to use these Engineering Samples to run qualification activity."

I found these old relays, 12 individual silver-contact glass reed relays to one coil, which looks to be 12v nominal. They are marked as Elliott Brothers 'Sealed Contact Reed Relay' Type ERP. PT No. A. with the number 31262 on the outside, and '32232/105' on the side of the coil itself. According to wikipedia this company was in business in the fifties and sixties as a computer manufacturer. I am wondering whether anyone knows more about these 12 pole reed relays, and what they might have been used for, as google has not been very helpful. The picture shows two assembled units, and one that has been taken to bits.

Edit: It's hard to tell from the photo I posted, but the reed switches are quite large. The glass envelope is 5cm long, with a diameter of about 5mm.

Thanks!

i found this the other day, it looked unusual...

it's a 30 pin sealed metal can with a ceramic hybrid inside containing 32 dies and the usual laser etched resistors and SMD caps

marked as ITT 5C1/137848 AAWJ 80/10B ISSB

any ideas? no purpose for knowing other than curiosity...

That hybrid circuit is a piece of art!
I do not know what its purpose is, but it looks kind of military. To my knowledge ITT industries (International Telephone & Telegraphs Corporation) did have and still has an aerospace and avionics department.
You could send a request via itt.com, or ittaerospace.com.

Here is a short article on hybrid circuits, featuring something in a similar package.

Thanks for the photos, it’s mesmerizing :)

Can anyone make out these hieroglyphics? (pic 1)

The IC is an 8 pin low-side regulator in a small charger for laptops.
The high-side controller markings are clear, and the data was easy to find. (pic 2, SG5842JASZ  http://datasheet.elcodis.com/pdf2/81/67/816778/sg5842ja.pdf )

The charger is 20V 2A output, and I hope to change it to 12V. And a bit more current. Hacking it because I need a physically SMALL power supply for this (pic 3).  Yes, I know I will have to rewind the transformer.

Maybe "103AIW" ?
http://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=30723

From its function-by-location it would be a comparator/op-amp and reference. But I'm not finding data yet.

Edit: Got it!  ST  TSM103. Dual op amp and voltage reference.

  http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/517784/STMICROELECTRONICS/TSM103AIDT.html

Edit 2: Now to see if I can dissolve the epoxy holding the transformer ferrite halves together.
Anyone recognize the make from the part number printed on it? Source? (assuming I break it.)

I've pulled apart old boards that had multi-reed relays like that in the past. I think they were used to select between several different cables, where a cable would have that many wires. Say 4 cables, use 4 of those blocks. Energise only one.
They were from the days when interfaces tended to have a lot of separate wires. So that was the only way to do it.

Anyway, now you have enough reed relays to put sensors on every door in a large house.
