Registers

Write-Accessible Registers:

  • 0x0000-0x1FFF: RAM Enable register
  • 0x2000-0x3FFF: ROM Bank register
  • 0x4000-0x5FFF: RAM Bank register
  • 0x6000-0x7FFF: Mode register

RAM Enable Register

XX XX XX XX D3 D2 D1 D0    0x00 @ reset
            \_________/
                 \-------- RAM Enable

A value of 0x0A enables SRAM access, all other values disable SRAM access.

ROM Bank Register

XX XX XX D4 D3 D2 D1 D0    0x00 @ reset
         \____________/
                 \-------- ROM Bank

ROM Bank selects which bank is mapped to 0x4000-0x7FFF. The written value is zero-adjusted before output on RA18Template:NdashRA14.

RAM Bank Register

XX XX XX XX XX XX D1 D0    0x00 @ reset
                  \___/
                    \----- RAM Bank

RAM Bank selects which bank is mapped to 0xA000-0xBFFF when in mode 4 MBit/256 kbit. When in mode 16 Mbit/64 kbit, it can be used to select the upper two ROM address lines.

Mode Register

                     \/
                      \--- Mode

The mode bit switches between 16 Mbit ROM/64 kbit SRAM mode ('0') and 4 Mbit ROM/256 kbit SRAM mode ('1'). When in 16 Mbit/64 kbit mode, address lines AA14Template:NdashAA13 switch according to A14. When in 4 Mbit/256 kbit mode, the upper address lines AA14Template:NdashAA13 stay fixed regardless of A14.
