315-5297 (and more Japanese MS stuff) pinout
Post Posted: Wed Nov 26, 2014 2:20 pm
Some time ago I started studying the Japanese Master System board scans available here as an exercise to figure the pinout of 315-5297 I/O chip.

I took some time to finish it recently and completed it with pinouts for the rest of the chips, maybe this could be interesting or useful to someone.

Pins marked with '?' are not 100% verified (signals function should be correct but exact position within a group of signals could not be confimed, only guessed from visible tracks).



Notes :
-------

(1) I/O chip decodes full Z80 address range and does not use /KBSEL (neither /CSRAM) generated by VDP, which means:
.I/O ports are likely not mirrored in whole $00-$3F range as with SG-1000, Mark-III and export Master System
so it should not be necessary to disable I/O ports before accessing FM chip (Japanese BIOS doesn't)
.I/O and memory control registers (ports $3E and $3F) are likely not mirrored in whole $00-$3F range as with
export Master System

(2) TH pins are connected to I/O ports (CN5 & CN6) pin 7 and port $3H is used to configure TH & TR pins as inputs
or outputs but according to Enri's website, reading TH bit only returns the current i/o state (0 for an output
and 1 for an input). That's said, it could be that:
. when set as an output, the written value is correctly output to the controller port but not buffered in I/O chip (returning 0 when read)
. when set as an input, it correctly returns the state of the TH pin from the controller (which would be 1 if left unconnected as with gamepads).

This means that contrary to Mark-III console, peripherals using this pin (export Sports Pad & Paddle, 3-Buttons & 6 Buttons controller, Light Gun) might still be compatible ?

(3) /RESET_IN comes from POWER SW and /RESET_OUT goes to Z80, VDP, YM2413, CN3 and CN4 /RESET pins

(4) LED is controlled by I/O chip (maybe it can be enabled/disabled from software through unused port in $00-$3F or $C0-$FF range ?)

(5) FM & PSG analog outputs are controlled by I/O chip through a 74HC40066 analog switch (cf. pin analysis below):
.Japanese BIOS enables both by writing $03 to port $F2
.Mark-III softwares enable (resp. disable) FM output by writing $01 (resp. $00) to port $F2

(6) 3D Glasses are controlled by I/O chip through a BA10324 analog amplifier connected to a 3-wire jack plug (cf. pin analysis below)

pins 2 (IN1-), 5 (IN2+) & 10 (IN3+) seems logically connected to GND but, for some unknown reason, the signal is coming from the audio/video circuit and is also connected to CA358E pins 3 & 5 (INA- & INB-) and CXA1145 pin 14 (Vref)

pin 1 (OUT1) & pin 8 (OUT3) are inverted outputs connected resp. to CN8 pin 1 (orange cable) & pin 2 (yellow cable) going to 171-5542 (3D) board
-> 315-5997 pin 35 connected to pin 3 (IN1+) & pin 9 (IN3-) is used to control left/right 3D glass selection (either as stereo or balanced mono signals)

pin 7 (OUT2) is connected to CN8 pin 4 (black cable) going to 171-5542 (3D) board
-> 315-5997 pin 34 connected to pin 6 (IN2-) is used to control 3D glasses common (ref) signal

pin 4 (V+) is connected to a voltage multiplier circuit (Vcc/5V -> 12V ?) & 315-5997 pin 33
-> 315-5997 pin 33 is used to power on/off 3D glasses


The voltage multiplier & jack amplifier circuit seems similar (but not exactly the same) as the one used in Mark-III 3D card adapter (cf. Enri's website)

Pinout is identical to export Master System card connector.

Compatibility with Mark-III cards is maintained, the only differences being that:

. pin 3 (/CSRAM on Mark-III) is connected to Z80 /MREQ
. pin 13 (Z80 /MREQ + /CARD input from cartridge port pin B2 on Mark-III) is connected to 315-5297 /CE2 pin (card /CE)

Pin B2 on cartridge port which was used to disable or enable the card port from hardware on Mark-III is not used here and card port is now only controllable by software. It might be possible to use a second pair of 3D-Glasses with Mark-III card adapter if card port is enabled through port $3E.

Pinout is identical to SG-1000 & Mark-III cartridge connector except that:

. pin B2 (/CARD on Mark-III only) is connected to Vcc

. pin B3 (/CSRAM on Mark-III & SG-1000) is not directly connected with VDP /CSRAM pin or RAM /CE but to 315-5297 pin 57 (with pull-down resistor) instead, which still allows to disable internal RAM from cartridge hardware.

. pin B7 (N/C on Mark-III & SG-1000) is connected to 315-5297 /RESET_OUT pin (not confirmed)

. pin B9 (N/C on Mark-III & SG-1000) is connected to Z80 /MREQ

. pin B10 (Z80 /MREQ on Mark-III and SG-1000) is connected to 315-5297 /CE3 pin (cartridge /CE), controlled from software (BIOS), but is also connected to /EXM2 pin on CN2/CN3/CN4 through diode D2 (so cartridge is enabled by default in $0000-$8000 if /CE3 pin is left floating)

Pins marked with '?' could not be confirmed.



Pinout seems identical to export Master System expansion connector and is not compatible with SG-1000 or Mark-III peripherals.
