PCF84C633A was a 8048 core with 64-segment LCD driver on-chip. I see PCAxxx and PCD3347. Best regards, Spehro Pefhany -- "it's the network..."

FWIW, there's nothing similar in the 1992 Philips "Concise Catalog", but there are about 50 PCFxxx parts (none in a PLCC-44). Best regards, Spehro Pefhany -- "it's the network..."
