I have a LOT of old components from the workshops, some might be useful for service/restoration projects but other components are antiquities only - this IC probably falls into this category!
Weltrend were a major integrated circuit designer/manufacturers of devices to be used in the world of display technology - that is, CRT display technology (although they did move on to LCD technology in later years)
Dig around inside a decent quality CRT based monitor from the 1990's and there is a very good chance you will find some Weltrend devices.
Weltrend
Type: WT8046
Function: This chips is designed for synchronous signal processing, power saving detection of multi-sync display monitors and these chips were used across a wide range of monitors in the day.
CRT Display monitors supporting standard IBM VGA, VESA super VGA and IBM 8514/A video modes often had these chips although it can also be found in other high-end display monitors supporting non-standard video modes with user-defined horizontal/vertical frequency ranges - these devices are very versatile.
The WT8046 has multiple functions such as horizontal/vertical frequency discrimination, display mode selection, synchronous pulse polarity, power saving detection and even a basic test pattern generator is built into the chip!.
24 pin DIL plastic package
If you should need a datasheet, these are available (by request)
Stored and supplied in suitable safe material (ESD sheet foam, more to keep the legs straight as these are not CMOS devices)
Automatic discounts apply for 5+ devices
