Hi Bala, If its mounted on a circuit board then you can make out from its behavior on board with DMM, the circuit section in which it is used and components connected to its terminal. Like if it's in power section then it may be a LDO or a Transistor switch or Thyristor or Power Supervisor/Reset chip etc. If it's not mounted on board and if it's a transistor/thyristor then you may use DMM in diode mode to check the conductivity among the pins and guess. If it's an IC like OpAmp, Logic Gate/Buffer or any ASIC then it will not be possible to make out with DMM and rather impossible to make out without the knowledge of pin out.
