Crossover network for a 2 way speaker.
Thanks. That came in a "grab bag" of random components and stumped the entire EET department.

+1 yes it is sad that they did not know what it was (or is)
Well, they were able to isolate it to "audio component". That's something.

Seriously? Wow.
There seems to be a whole generation (or two?) of people who have never practiced "Don't turn it on, take it apart!", and likely don't even understand why anyone would do that. They are appliance operators who don't have the slightest clue (or even curiosity) what's inside their high-tech toys. Users of a certain brand of computers and other products named after a common fruit are a prime example of this "dumb-user" class.
I wouldn't have thought that would have applied to an EET department!
I take exception to your careless slander of Apricot PC users!
Awww..... The Apricot. *fond memories*
I remember them when they first came out. They weren't too bad.
This Mitsubishi chip is coming from 1990s wireless modem. My Google-fu technique is pretty good but I failed to find any reference to it. What is this? Mixer, amplifier, filter? Perhaps somebody recognize this or somebody know how to look it up?
Dear Forum members,
Does anybody have clue where I can find the datasheet of this IC ? It seems to be re-badged or something. Seems to look like this one, VX1937 VGA-to-AV/S Video Converter, but the crystal which is on the pcb is 24Mhz not 27Mhz...
Thanks in advance.

Did you try checking pins? If Ground pins, power pins and other pints that you can identify are on same positions then it must be just re-branded IC you guessed.
Yes I tried checking some pins, but I can't find the datasheet of the vx1937 (pin layout) either, so this makes it a bit harder. Well maybe its just better to put this vga converter in the bin, and connect my c64 to a lcd instead of an old crt

We had an "Orange" at work.
I only remember the name because of the time I upset everyone.
The "Computer Guru" had written a nice program that allowed you to enter the name of a remote radio or TV site,& it would show the status of that station.
In its final form,it was intended to dial up the site & download the data ,but at the time was set up with a dummy source of information.
I entered "Kununurra",& it went crazy,scrolling through every station on the network.
It turned out that the programmer had misspelled the station as "Kununarra".
I swore off Computers for a while!
I got plenty of these in a grab bag. Wondering what they are, and how they can be used. There is a part number but I cannot find any datasheet. Looks like some sort of LED/optical component. Would be great to know how to use the component.
A guess would be an LDR, but never seen one in a package like that.
My guess: It is a position sensor. I have a similar sensor in a different package. It is either 4 independent photodiodes, or a single large photodiode with connections on all 4 sides. If you measure and compare the 4 currents you can estimate the exact position of a small light beam on the sensor.
I found this, it looks like my guess is correkt:

Thanks for your answers. It seems like it is in fact some sort of position sensor. What would something like this be used in? I am assuming that for anything that wants to move across and get detected the travel would be very small. Any ideas where this might come from or be used?
This is the kind of sensor you see used with a laser beam and X-Y servos where you can sense how far to the right or left you are from the beam, and how high or low. And then re-position to center the beam in the mid-point of the sensors. Or using a pin-hole beam from a sun-tracking system to follow the sun across the sky, etc.
I love the idea for tracking the Sun Richard. I'll see if I can put something together with two of these to track on a vertical+horizontal axis. Might be a cool little project to maximize solar cell efficiency. I don't have any large panels, but it will be interesting to see if it's worth the power needed to run a small system. I am assuming that it is always worth it with large panels. Thanks everyone.
