Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the CH438L?
Yes. The symbol is EasyEDA_Cloud:CH438L and the footprint Package_QFP:LQFP-128_14x14mm_P0.4mm, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.
What package is the CH438L?
LQFP-128(14x14), with 128 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.
Where is the CH438L datasheet?
WCH (Nanjing Qinheng Microelectronics) publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.
Where can I order the CH438L?
JLCPCB lists it as part C2685239, with 1 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.
What can replace the CH438L?
Parts like it in the library: the PI7C9X7952BFDEX by Diodes Incorporated. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
