System Overview

The Famicom Network System is a complicated device with its own memory mapping system and internal CPU. The RF5C66 chip provides the main mapper functionality, delegating its own registers at $40A0, RF5A18 Famicom registers at $40D0, an internal Kanji ROM at $5000, an internal 8kByte W-RAM at $6000. It also controls the bank of a built-in 16kbyte CHR-RAM.

The RF5A18 contains CPU2, which is a 65C02 processor with its own independent CPU clock. It has a built-in 4kByte ROM. This chip is responsible for controlling the modem communications. It communicates with the Famicom CPU through several dual-port registers at $40Dx.

The Famicom Network System plugs into the Famicom through its cartridge connector and provides the user a ZIF style slot to insert a "card". The card is similar to a normal cartridge but does not have access to any PPU signals. Commercial cards are observed to have their own MMC1 memory mapper, which does not interfere with any of the registers of the Famicom Network System. The CPU data bus is routed through the RF5C66 chip before making it to the card, possibly acting just as a bi-directional buffer / signal conditioner. It is unknown what other reason the data bus would be passed through the RF5C66 like that. Older revisions of Famicom Network System buffered the Famicom address bus with 74HC541 chips, so it is plausible that this function is literally just a bi-directional buffer integrated into the RF5C66.

LH5323M1 Kanji Graphic 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. There are 2 128kByte banks, and the low bank is default at power-on. Writing 1 to $40B0.0 selects the high bank. Reading from $40B0 resets to the beginning of the 32-byte sequence. Writing $40B0 does not reset the sequence however. No values written to $40B0 were observed to arbitrarily change or reset the position in the 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. Dial tones have been observed through the television speakers. It is unlikely but unknown if there are other possible sources of sound.

Disk Drive Support

According to a block diagram with potentially dubious origins, the RF5C66 chip contains a disk drive controller. Similar design in several ways to the Famicom Disk System, it is suspected that a disk drive can be connected to the expansion port and controlled by the RF5C66. Since this feature was never used, it is unknown how to use or activate it, or even if that feature is fully implemented. The original FDS has a large DRAM that is not present as a discreet chip in the Famicom Network System. It is unknown if such a DRAM could be already integrated into the RF5C66, or could be attached externally and simply not populated, or if a special card was to be constructed containing this RAM. All original FDS registers are notably absent and all discovered registers start immediately after where the FDS registers would normally be. This remains a mystery presently.

Known Registers

Note: All registers available to the Famicom ignore address bits 8-11 because those bits are not physically connected to the RF5C66. Therefore, register $4xA0 has mirrors that exist at $40A0, $41A0 ... $4FA0. For simplicity, this page shows all registers as the $40xx mirror.

    • Writes $FF to this register and appears to keep a RAM copy at $19.
    • Does a BIT operation on this register and makes decisions based on D7 and D6.
      • Probably the same: Reads this register once per frame, which reports value $E0.
    • Also writes value $BF to this register, not in connection with $19.
    • Does multiple writes of various values to this register when opening and closing a connection.
  • Bits 4,3,2,1,0 follow pull-ups and downs on the data bus.
  • Writing a value to this register does not cause the read value to change.
    • This shows that Famicom -> CPU2 and CPU2 -> Famicom directions each use separate physical registers.

RF5A18 Internal CPU

Note that the RF5A18's CPU2 has its own parallel execution with its own address and data busses that are not available to the Famicom's CPU. CPU2 also has its own clock source, so it does not execute synchronously with the Famicom CPU. This section describes CPU2's own memory mapping and its own internal registers.

Notes:
- +5Vcc pins 18, 59, 81, 100 are all connected together internally.
- GND pins 23, 39, 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:
- This chip contains its very own 65C02 CPU, with built-in ROM.
- +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.
