Our factory mission is repair systems; today we are working with a
Texas Instruments microcontroller marked TMS375c717FNL or TMS375c017.
This microcontroller is used on a balance system produced by Sartorius
a.g. (Germany company).
How I can find information about a old or obsolete TI device? There is
no way?
You Know this component??
Thanks a lot
Best Regard
Alberto

You can always contact Texas Instrument Technical Support

There is a risk that the part isn't obsolete, but is rather a special
part made specifically for Satorius. You best bet would be to cotact
Satorius.

Here's a bit of general information on the family:
http://www.etlweb.com/doc/spnd005.pdf

If there's actually something wrong with the micro, you're going to
have to go back to the manufacturer and buy the part from them anyhow,
since their proprietary program will have to be burned into the
on-chip EPROM (24K if it follows TI's usual numbering system). Or
cannibalize another unit etc.
