I don't know the status of the 21065L EZ KIT. I doubt very much that the
ADSP-21065L is EOL. ADI has been very good at keeping older parts in
their line. You can still buy the ADSP-2101. This was an old part when I
first started using ADI DSPs in 1991.
The 21065L is not a good choice for new design. EZ-Kits are usually
aimed at new applications, so it would not surprise me to see DigiKey or
ADI drop the kit.
I suggest that you consider the ADSP-21371 (or possibly 21375 if cost
driven). These parts are substantially better parts and available for
about the same cost. The lowest cost SHARC is the ADSP-21261. It is also
much better in most respects to the 21065L.
If you are concerned with fabrication issues, especially BGA, you may
want to check out our dspblok and dspstak boards. Our most popular
boards for new design are ADSP-21369 based.
