RC1802 CPU
tebl/RC1802-Cosmac-ELF
With the RC6502-project for making an Apple 1 replica done I wanted to do something different, so I started designing a simple version of the RCA 1802-based Cosmac ELF instead.

The CDP1802E is a microcontroller made by Texas Instruments with 40 pins. - Microcontrollers (MCU/MPU/SOC).
PCBKit's library has its KiCad symbol (EasyEDA_Cloud:CDP1802E, from EasyEDA) and its footprint (EasyEDA_Cloud:PDIP-40_L52.3-W13.8-P2.54-LS15.2-BL, from EasyEDA), ready for a KiCad board. JLCPCB lists it (part C3232729). 3 open-source boards in 3 repositories on GitHub use it.

The symbol is EasyEDA_Cloud:CDP1802E and the footprint EasyEDA_Cloud:PDIP-40_L52.3-W13.8-P2.54-LS15.2-BL, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.
JLCPCB lists it as part C3232729, with 0 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.
