ISTR one of the early rags (Kilobaud? Microsystems?) describing a
board using one of these things, a 16x16 multiplier by TRW (MPY-16?),
circa 1977-78 or so. ISTR the thing was really power hungry.
Cheers,

Agreed.
I used one of these in early '80s.
PN was something like TDC 1010 or 1020?
TRW made the good mults, AD made the good flash A/Ds

Subject: Unknown 64pin ceramic TRW Chip...
I have an S-100 experimenters board with a ceramic 64pin chip on it
that has a black cap over it and all it says is TRW. Anyone have
any idea what the heck this might be, there are no other markings
what so ever.

Quite likely a combinatorial multiplier, less likely a flash A-D.
