Looking for a replacement for an IC Labeled Y8031 in a UK device

This is an IC used in a circuit for sequencing LED light strings

Typ in the Subject: Y803A

Hello @glenn5055

Welcome to the TechForum

That IC chip is part number R1172N401B-TR-FE from Nisshinbo Micro Devices

Hi glenn5055,

That’s a very specialized chip designed for that application. We would have nothing like it. One can build lighting controllers with similar functionalities, but this would require writing quite a bit of code and hardware design work.

Here are a few links which might help inspire:

Thanks for the work you did! As this is not either critical or high dollar value, I will not repair it.

And thanks for the hints on a more advanced project for myself!
