IC market experts : HELP !

IC market experts : HELP !

IC market experts : HELP !

(OP)
Today I have spent one hour searching for the data sheet
of an IC made originally by MOTOROLA in 1996. I wasn't able to find out who makes it now?

Could anyone who knows the IC market please post here the
"family tree " of the IC manufacturers or any help you can
give us to find the data sheets of these orphaned
products ?

IC Master use to be (and may still be) the best place to start for cross referances.

Also search for "obsolete semiconductor".  Original parts are often available on the secondary market.

RE: IC market experts : HELP !

What's the part?  

8 yrs is a trifle bit long, depending on what the market was.

Sreid: A * for your tip !
IR: Sreid solved the actual problem. It still would be nice
to have a "family tree" -- a list of new companies who
took over old products like MOTOROLA --> ONSEMI or HP-->
AGILENT,  Etc...
