NEW Old Stock (and I mean OLD)
Ex the workshop drawers/cabinets, where I am discovering some weird and wonderful "chips" long since forgotten in the mists of time ...
PHILIPS - Teletext Decoder LSI
Type: SAA5244AP/A
Teletext decoder for use with 625 line analog television signals
*** Yes, I hear you, in this age of digital television and with the demise of teletext broadcasts, who on earth would want one? I have no idea but perhaps someone is restoring old equipment and this chip is exactly what they have been hunting for!
+5V single rail
I2C bus control
RGB interfacing to external colour decoding IC's
Full technical datasheets remain readily available online from the usual haunts
I have also included a functional block diagram of the device, see one of the photographs
DIL Plastic 40 pin package
COSMETIC CONDITION:
NEW
Old Stock
CLEAN
Always been treated with respect! Sitting on a bed of ESD material (to protect the pins from physical damage)
Now sealed in a clear plastic packet, ready for a new owner ...
