A little more... https://imgur.com/f4noWuk We have this on display under a microscope at VCF Mid-Atlantic museum. It is strangely constructed to my eye. no lead frame or bond wires. Its build ON the leadframe. Its symmetrical, appears to be a dual something. A mixed signal IC design collegue said: ---- That lead-frame is really weird. It seems to be some sort of flip-chip, but the leads don’t even line up from one side of the chip to the other! Never seen anything like it. The only other thing I would GUESS is that this is some sort of analog IC, probably bipolar. ----
