About IC Checker
IC Checker is a free reference for one narrow, stubborn problem: working out how much storage a phone board has when you cannot switch the phone on.
What it is
A searchable catalogue of 16,776 mobile memory IC part numbers, each mapped to the storage capacity it carries, the RAM stacked alongside it where the package is an eMCP or uMCP, the chip type and the physical package. You enter the code etched on the chip; it tells you what that code means.
Everything runs in the browser. There is no app to install, no account, no lookup limit and no paid tier.
What is in the catalogue
- 15 manufacturers — Samsung (7,796), SK hynix (5,252), Micron (2,013), YMTC (1,103), SanDisk (120) and others.
- Chip types — eMCP (6,434), UFS (4,909), eMMC (3,418), uMCP (1,065), MCP (780), NAND (34).
- Capacities from 4GB to 1TB, plus legacy sub-gigabyte NAND parts.
Where the data comes from
Records are compiled from manufacturer part-number documentation, FBGA marking
references and verified bench readings, then normalised into one consistent shape —
which is more work than it sounds, given the source material spells the same vendor
three different ways and records the same capacity as both 1024GB and
1TB.
How accurate it is
Accurate enough to price a board, and not a substitute for the manufacturer's datasheet when you are ordering silicon. Markings get misread, second-source parts exist, and vendors occasionally reuse a code across revisions. Treat a result as a strong indication and verify against the datasheet before you commit to a purchase or a reball.
If a code returns the wrong specification, or returns nothing at all, tell us — that is how the catalogue improves.
Who it is for
Board-level repair technicians, dead-phone and scrap buyers, refurbishers sorting stock by capacity, and anyone who has paid for a 128GB board that turned out to be 32GB.
