STiD325 discontinued ? dev kit ? Alternatives ?

[sgmihai]

Hello. I am researching for development of a multi channel digital tv tuner. I have found chips like maxlinear puma 7, broadcom's BCM3390, and STMicroelectronics' STiD325.

It seems this part number is not available when searching for it on the st website. Was it abandoned, or did it fail vs the competition ? I can't find it in any actual producs, but some stock appears to be available here:

So I am guessing this might be a dead end for development, since there's most likely no devkit/software available ?

Broadcom appear to only work with its big partners, so that leaves just Maxlinear as a possibility ?

Are there any other such chips ?

Thanks.

Welcome @sgmihai, to the community!

Correct, the STiD325 has long been obsolete and has no successor nor a similar device. I am very sorry not to be able to give you more positive information.
