Datasheet for memory is for a chip in the same series, it has less memory than the one inside the 3DS (128mbits vs 512mbits).

There is a trove of data on the FCC website at [11].


FCRAM

There is one FCRAM(Fast Cycle RAM) in the 3DS.

DESCRIPTION

The Fujitsu MB82M8080-07L chip internally contains 2 dies, branded MB81EDS516545 and MB82DBS08645. The MB81EDS516545 die is a CMOS Fast Cycle Random Access Memory (FCRAM*) with Low Power Double Data Rate (LPDDR) SDRAM Interface containing 512MBit storage accessible in a 64-bit format. MB81EDS516545 is suited for consumer application requiring high data band width with low power consumption.

SDIO interface is colored red:

  • CLK
  • CMD
  • D0, D1, D2, D3

This is the interface for the 'NEW' WiFi module (based on Atheros AR6002) first included in DSi.

The proprietary and by now ancient DS-mode WiFi is colored yellow, pins are unknown.

I2C eeprom is colored blue:

  • SCL
  • SDA

SPI Flash is colored purple:

  • CLK
  • CS#
  • SI
  • SO
  • WP#
  • NC

Auxiliary Microntroller

Monitors HOME button, WiFi switch, 3D slider, volume control slider. Controls LEDs, various power supplies.

Devices attached to I2C bus:

  • UC (master?)
  • Accelerometer (slave address 0x18)
  • SoC (master? slave?)
