hmm could be a dual driver or comparator. it's got two beefy output stages. I don't see any compensation capacitors so I don't think it is an op amp.

I think it might be some sort of ECL level shifter. using a multimeter to measure ESD diodes, I think this thing has two supply rails, one of them negative.

Do you know already or were you asking?

It’s a 16-pin EEPROM, newer MB series are/were marketed as FRAM being faster and having greater flash cycles than traditional EEPROM but given that package it’s probably first gen FRAM or last gen EEPROM.
