Hello everyone,

I'm desperately searching for a datasheet for an LSI device ... marked as
IX0217 by Sharp (~64 pin, square, SMD). It appears to be a function and
LCD driver in a small hifi system.

Other package numbers include D753017A.

Try UPD753017A - microcontroller with LCD Controller

It is most likely Pre-programmed (in other words if it is stuffed you will
need one that has been programmed ) and I am guessing that IX0217 is going
to refer to the software programmed into it....

I've searched bucketloads of 'datasheet' sites, and Sharps sites but to no
avail :-(

Data sheet - try
http://www.eu.necel.com/_pdf/U10140E...h=%22753017%22

However you will need a Programmed one from Sharp....
