LH5323M1 ROM

The LH5323M1 is a 256 KB graphics ROM containing primarily kanji data that is mapped at $5000-5FFF. Each index in this range is a 32-byte space containing 16x16 1bpp graphics, usually for a single character, and each read automatically advances to the next byte in the sequence. The space only covers 128 KB and it is suspected that the other 128 KB can be swapped in for additional characters. Writing to $4xB0.0 might control this bankswap behavior. Reading from $4xB0 might reset to the beginning of the 32-byte sequence.

Expansion Audio

The Famicom Network System does have expansion audio capabilities. The Famicom audio is routed through the modem module, but nowhere directly to either of the large ASICs. It is unknown if this is used for, or limited to, dial-up modem sounds.

Notes:
- +5Vcc pins 18, 59, 81, 100 are all connected together internally.
- GND pins 23, 29, 70, 90 are all connected together internally.
- 43, 44, 45, 46 are GND on the PCB, but have internal protection diodes from GND, suggesting they are logic pins.
- 24, 28, 36, 37, 41, 63 are n/c on the PCB, but have protection diodes from GND, suggesting they may have a function.
- Pins 41 and 42 ranges shown are duplicated at $Cxxx (i.e. ignores /ROMSEL).
  - It is unknown how the 5A18 prevents bus conflict at $Cxxx range when it has no known access to /ROMSEL.
- Pins 45-46, when pulled high, causes oscillation on pin 56.
- Pin 29 (CIC-11) observed only high (with or without card inserted).
  - Seems to be a /reset because it sets pins 52-57 low when this pin is low, and possibly lots of other things.
- Pin 31 (CIC-10) observed only high (with or without card inserted).
- Pin 32 (CIC-15) observed high with card inserted and low with no card inserted or when hot-removed.
  - Does not go high when hot-inserted or Famicom reset in low state, only high when card is present at power-on.
- Pin 16 Pull-up of 20k to 5V is also required in order to avoid triggering reset.
- Pin 16 seems to be related to pin 29.  With pin 29 floating and pin 16 pulled high at power on, the chip runs for 5 seconds, then enters reset.
- Tested 10k instead of 20k (per original PCB) on pin 16, found no difference in time or function.
- Pin 69 has a high pulse of 11.9085 usec at any time that register $4xAC has not been read for 12.4892 seconds.
  - Each additional 12.4892 seconds generates another pulse.
  - It has very repeatable precision, at least 6 figures on each.
  - It is not synchronized to M2 or any other inputs.
  - Note that 12.4892 sec * 21.47727 MHz = 2^28, with an error of 0.075%. (Nominal would be 12.4986 sec.)
  - Note that 11.9085 usec * 21.47727 MHz = 2^8, with an error of 0.093%. (Nominal would be 11.9196 usec.)
- Pins 52-56 drive the address pins of the Kanji ROM.  (See notes below the LH5323M1 pinout.)
- Pin 15 (Card R/W) is a non-inverted buffer of CPU R/W.  This signal connects through the lid switch.
- Pin 26 puts out a 3.58 MHz square wave, ~50% duty.  This corresponds to 21.47727 MHz / 6.
- Pin 79 (Exp 2) puts out a 95.95 kHz square wave, 93.7% duty.  Clock source unknown.
  - Note that this seems similar to FDS serial bitrate.
  - Standalone chip can get into a 341.2 kHz mode when touching pin 80, though pulling 80 high or low doesn't correlate.
  - Either frequency, the negative pulse width is 650 nsec.
- CIRAM A10 follows PPU A10 by default, suggesting horizontal arrangement / vertical mirroring is default.

Notes:
- +5Vcc pins 9, 31, 64, 91 are all connected together internally.
- GND pins 18, 43, 46, 78, 100 are all connected together internally.
- 24, 25, 26 are GND on the PCB, but have internal protection diodes from GND, suggesting they are logic pins.
- 47, 48 are +5Vcc on the PCB, but have internal protection diodes to +5Vcc, suggesting they are logic pins.
- 15, 16, 17, 19, 22, 37, 40, 41, 59 are n/c on the PCB, but have protection diodes from GND, suggesting they may have a function.
- Pin 42 (Exp 16) puts out a 4.92 MHz square wave, ~50% duty.  This is 19.6608 MHz / 4.

Notes:
- 6 & 28 are connected together internally.
- 17 has no measurable connection to 6 & 28.
- All logic pins have protection diode from pin 17, suggesting this is the true GND.
- Pin 25 also appears as a logic pin with respect to pin 17.
- When pins 25 and 27 are both driven low, the data bus becomes an output.  Otherwise it is hi-z.
- Pins 13, 9, 8, 7, 41, 37 are controlled by the RF5C66.
  - Pins 13, 9, 8, 7, 41 are controlled with auto-increment function.
  - The value of these pins increments each M2 falling edge when the CPU is in range $5000-5FFF.
  - Pin 37 is a bankswitch, controlled by register $40B0.0
  - At reset and when reading from register $40B0, these pins reset to 0.
  - The conditions resetting or maintaining the bankswitch pin to 1 are still unknown.
