Component DK-2 0315

The 0315 is probably the date code (YYWW). For the rest, it would help if you could identify the package of that small IC.

The canonical on-line listing of surface mount components is over at

This is a picture of the trigger circuit board. It's small, about 30mm x

My enquiry on DIYnot:

The IC is that small 8 pin IC towards the LH side of the circuit board.

Marked: DK-2

I wonder if it's a PWM ic.

Mosfet (not on circuit board) is simply marked D4v313. An ST component, so possibly STD4v313. Cannot locate that either on Google.

Put a scope on the MOSFET gate and you'll see the PWM clear as day. I doubt there's any current sense or other feedback into the PWM chip but the best tools would have some flavor of that.

The halfway decent cordless tools implement battery charge smarts too. It seems obvious to me that this will eventually be integrated into the tool itself although many current variations put it into the battery pack (for rapid recharge this makes some sense as you need to sense the cell temperature) or more traditionally just current-voltage- limited wall warts.

I don't see any obvious charger functionality on that little PCB.

Hi.

Yes, it's cheaper model "Classicpower CP-18-2" bought here in the UK. Bought I think 2003.

The 8 pin chip marked DK-2 0315 will I guess be the PWM generator. MOSFET will be the motor driver.

Not possible to identify the chip. No real problem though.

The "313" marking on the MOSFET may be a YWW date code. This would be consistent with the marking on the PWM controller. ST markings often have a code letter before the YWW. IIRC, this letter indicates the country of manufacture. I'd say the part marking is probably D4 or D4v, depending on how it is laid out.

I'm wondering whether both part markings are house codes rather than regular marking codes. Maybe "D" stands for "Drill", and perhaps the "4" indicates a 4 amp device ???
