Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the AP6256?

Yes. The symbol is EasyEDA_Cloud:AP6256 and the footprint EasyEDA_Cloud:QFN-44_L12.0-W12.0-P0.90-TL_AP6256, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the AP6256?

SMD, with 47 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the AP6256 datasheet?

AMPAK Tech publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the AP6256?

JLCPCB lists it as part C5248079, with 3,442 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the AP6256?

Parts like it in the library: the FCU760KAAMD by Quectel, the FCS950RACMD by Quectel, the FCS950UAAMD by Quectel and the ESPC5-32-H4 by DOIT. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.

Which open-source boards use the AP6256?

3 boards in 3 repositories on GitHub; the most starred are listed on this page, with their KiCad files.
