The WonderSwan utilizes M93LCx6-compatible EEPROMs:

  • in the SoC:
    • 1 Kbit internal EEPROM (M93LC46-compatible) on the WonderSwan,
    • 16 Kbit internal EEPROM (M93LC86-compatible) on the WonderSwan Color,
  • on cartridges:
    • 1 Kbit cartridge EEPROM (M93LC46-compatible)
    • 8 Kbit cartridge EEPROM (M93LC76-compatible)
    • 16 Kbit cartridge EEPROM (M93LC86-compatible)

Additional variants exists which were not seen on any production cartridge:

  • 2 Kbit EEPROM (M93LC56-compatible)
  • 4 Kbit EEPROM (M93LC66-compatible)

Commands

READ - Read Word

The READ command takes an address of a word (address 0 => bytes 0, 1; address 1 => bytes 2, 3; ...) and returns the word at that address.

WRITE - Write Word

The WRITE command takes an address of a word (address 0 => bytes 0, 1; address 1 => bytes 2, 3; ...) and the word to write to it, then writes the word.

ERASE - Erase Word

The ERASE command takes an address of a word (address 0 => bytes 0, 1; address 1 => bytes 2, 3; ...) and erases the word at that address, setting it to 0xFFFF.

WDS - Write Disable

WRAL - Write All

ERAL - Erase All

WEN - Write Enable

I/O ports

The I/O ports listed refer to the internal EEPROM; for the cartridge EEPROM port numbers, refer to the mapper documentation.

Note that on the original WonderSwan, the data and command registers can only be accessed word-wide via even addresses: access to odd addresses whether byte or word-wide don't provide valid data.

Hardware notes

EEPROM command bits are shifted out starting from the most significant bit of the port.

While the M93LCx6 family supports byte organization, the WonderSwan always uses word organization. As such, this implementation detail is omitted in this documentation.
