    Trying to locate an IC

    This isn't carPC related - I guess it could be if anyone has enough room for a 21" CRT monitor in their car but here goes the question. I'm searching for a Sanyo VP453 IC (video driver IC). Googleing it only comes up with sites that want you to buy qtys of 100 or more. Anyone have a good supplier for simiconductors they can point me to?

    It is just a video amp right? (http://www.ortodoxism.ro/datasheets/sanyo/VP453.pdf)

    So any video amp should work. Why are you stuck with that component?

    Correct, it is a video amp. To say "any" video amp would work is, well, a broad statement. Yes, any video amp with the same specs and pin outs would work. So far I have found no cross refs to any - NTE, ECG, SK.

    Well you didnt say you needed the same pinouts. I am guessing a chip blew, so you are trying to replace it?

    you could also just get another IC and put it on a different small PCB and wires from pins to pins.

    Discontinued

    This mfgr site says that IC has been discontinued. You may find it through their distributors though.

    Correct again, and absolutly possible to mount another elsewhere. I would only do that as a last resort - OEM or a direct cross would be my preferred method but thanks for your help.

    Thanks, I guess I should have mentioned thats where I started - none of the distributers have been able to help so far - thanks again.

    Hunting a chip like that is a waste of time - when google turns up crap distrubutor sites, you're SOL.

    The good news is that as long as you have the datasheet, you can retrofit a modern replacement.

    I'd check the Analog Devices web site for something similar. I think they even do free samples.
