SGS Thomson became ST Microelectronics in 1998.

Omega
STI 5518B0C

That should be STi5518BQC.

D1S-G410921
AAAAN VG
TWN AA 422

Microprocessor/decoder/chipset by ST Microelectronics. Datasheet is
probably subject to a NDA.

What did you use for your search query?

I recognised the STi prefix as being used by ST Microelectronics. I
then searched for STi5518 at the following URL:

MALAYSIA
29LV800TE-90PFTN

Low voltage 8Mbit (1Mx8) 90ns flash EEPROM, possibly by Fujitsu.


I am realy curious now where are you getting your info?

I typed 29LV800 into Google. The name "Fujitsu" popped up, together
with brief functional descriptions.

Had you posted a picture earlier, I would have immediately recognised
the /F/ logo. I would then have searched for datasheets at
http://www.fujitsu-fme.com/datasheets/

Your part is actually a Fujitsu MBM29LV800-TE90PFTN:

8420 F32
^^^^
If this is a YYWW date code, then I expect it should read "0420".


It's definitely 8420 F32

See here

There's photos of the board in the STB and it's
definitely 8420 F32

OK, my mistake this time.

Actually, speaking of cheap STBs, I picked up one of those Kross SD
boxes from Woolworths a week ago for $79 and it works a treat (even
has a readable manual).
