Nice TI chips Kosmo. Congrats!
The only problem with calculator chips is because they are almost always soldered Sad

the Zebra TMC173x is nice

by the way,
according to the Ti datasheet

there are 3 Ti prefix (TMX,TMP,TMS)

prototypes
TMX: experimental
TMP: prototype
------
qualified
TMS: qualified

i cant find TMC mean
does C stand for
customer or something else (caculator?)

there was other TI chips marked TMC that were not calculator chips.

one was the TMC0280... the first one-chip LPC speech synthesizer used mainly in toys

Im guessing it was early TI marking for ceramic ICs
