+Topmark decodes as (per 2000 Philips Quality Manual, repeated at https://www.dutchaudioclassics.nl/TDA1541-Product-manufacturing-codes-and-markings/):
-<code>
+  * Commercial part number: SA572N  (SA572, 16-pin dual in-line package)
-</code>
+  * Diffusion lot GGW17, assembly sequence 91
+  * Date of manufacture 1998, week 14. Diffused at Philips Semiconductors Nijmegen (H), assembled in Bangkok (n)
+Later parts carry the more recent (~2000) Philips line-3 topmark format of ''YYWWDAR'' -- Year, Week, Diffusion, Assembly, (centre of) Responsibility. These later parts usually indicate "centre of responsibility" being Sunnyvale, i.e. Signetics. This matches up with the Philips datasheet indicating that this is a Signetics part.
+====== Decap ======
+Decap took three attempts.
+  * First: rosin decap left residue stuck to the die surface.
+  * Second: Blowtorch caused thermal damage to the die.
+  * Third: rosin decap with hotter boil successfully decapped the chip.

+====== Circuit analysis notes ======
+  * The circuit is mirrored roughly down the centre.
+  * A 2.5V bandgap voltage reference is shared by both channels. This is likely the non-quite-symmetrical centre section.
+  * Bipolar process with extensive use of polysilicon resistors
+The [[https://www.onsemi.com/pdf/datasheet/sa571-d.pdf|SA571]] is a mono version of this chip. A SPICE model is available from [[https://modwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=208611|jorg on the Mod Wiggler forums]], including a transistor-level schematic. This may make it easier to follow the circuitry on the IC.
