TMS3617 datasheet?

Joe Magiera

Does anyone have a datasheet for a Texas Instruments TMS3617 semiconductor?  This is some type of tone generator.

I tried TI support and they told me it was discontinued so long ago that all info has been removed from their database resources.  I couldn't find anything on the internet searches.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Joe,
    This is a very interesting device.
    Apparently it was available ~1985 for use in electronic organs.

    I find no reference to it in data book archives, nor in present TI archives.

    I do see it available to purchase on eBay.
    However no data sheet.

    I will continue to look this weekend and reply back Monday.

    Hello Joe,
    I have searched in many places but cannot find a specification for this part.
    Like I said before, I see parts for sale on eBay.
    Tracing out the circuit board you might be able to create a schematic of the organ, thus understand the functionality of the device.

    I am sorry but the device specs are not available from TI.

    Thanks for trying Ed.  I know it's out there somewhere.
