Overview
The N8251A is an UART made by AMD in a CDIP-28 package with 28 pins. 1 4.5V~5.5V with Modem Control、Automatic error detection CDIP-28 Interface - Specialized.
PCBKit's library has its KiCad symbol (EasyEDA_Cloud:LD8251A, from EasyEDA) and its footprint (EasyEDA_Cloud:PDIP-28_L35.0-W7.3-P2.54-LS7.8-BL, from EasyEDA), ready for a KiCad board. JLCPCB lists it (part C3312589).
