Anyone know what IC is this is?

Does anyone know what type this ic is? Cant find the datasheet online.
Thanks.
Hi,

Could that be one of the famous waveform generator chips.

Do you have a schematic of this circuit or can make one? We could probably tell from that.

Welcome to AAC.

What device is this IC in?

A candidate is the Harris Semiconductor 8038, but without knowing the application and/or seeing the other side of the board where the traces are, it's not possible to provide a confidence level. Even though the chip seems to have an "HS", I have never seen, and cannot find an example of, Harris using that logo.

Hi,

Beat ya to it (ha ha).
But maybe it is a fake 8038 chip.
I'd like to see a schematic of the circuit, that would tell all.

Here is the layout. U1 - U4 is that ic. What I know is, that ic is from Siemens.
This circuit is different from the picture but the ic is the same.

Unfortunately, that PCB layout is just a breakout board for the chips so it adds nothing, except, that Vcc and Vss are on pins 7 and 14, so it could be an SN7405 six way hex inverter.

And a badly designed one at that... the decoupliing caps should be at the start of the power traces, nearer the board edge. They're doing nothing for U1 & U2, they're placed for artistic balance than real-world noise suppression.
