I'm finding the pin numbers for this Toshiba IC. Google search results shows this Datasheet, but it doesn't have the pin numbers written. Thank you.

Bonus: What does this logo represents? They're all over the places in this PCB. enter image description here

As you've discovered, TC160G is a family of gate arrays by Toshiba.

A gate array is a silicon chip pre-loaded with transistors, gates, etc., and no interconnects. A customer provides specifications for what gates, pins, etc. shall be interconnected, and the foundry builds that (metallization layers on top of the gate layers).

In short, it's a totally custom chip. You would have to ask the customer who ordered it.

The logo appears to be NSD Corporation.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Most likely. ABS24201A is probably their internal part number. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 6 at 2:50
