gEDA-user: Need help finding Conexant CX25874-24 (TV chip)

[Timothy Normand Miller <theosib@xxxxxxxxx>]

We've got OGD1 boards at the assembly house, and we've run into a
supply problem.  The Conexant CX25874-24, the TV output chip we
selected, has reached end-of-life, and we're having trouble finding a
broker who will supply them at a reasonable price.  For instance, one
broker we contacted hasn't even responded to our inquiries.

So, we're asking for help on this one.  We need to find the best price
on 25 to 30 of these chips.  Our original quote (which we had factored
into the budget) was $9.68 each.

We should also discuss the option of skipping this altogether, which
would save us time and money.  Plus, if the best price is too high,
we'll skip it anyhow.  We can come up with a clever FPGA solution that
involves using the VGA DAC to generate s-video.

The Conexant CX25874-24 is in a 64-pin TQFP package.


P.S. I wanted to be sure to thank those of you who helped with my
previous question regarding the fried FPGA dev board.  We're in the
process or locating replacements for the capacitor, diode, and the
voltage regulators.
