Although this device is a dedicated h/w, you should keep the principal.
Did you check the schematic document of TM2? The schematic document
might include the specific device name.

Sometimes, the downloaded datasheet does not include the
all of information of device because of confidential information.
But, I’m not sure. Just it is guess as my experience.

I want to check the manufacturer and name of device with you
on next Monday.

If we never to find the correct device name, we might use your suggestion.
As I already said, I’d like to check it again with you.
