Address Bus B, also known as the SNES bus, is 8-bits wide on the SNES Motherboard. Its individual address lines are labeled PA0-PA7, which stands for "peripheral address," as in S-CPU peripherals (not SNES peripherals). It is connected to:

which is the exact same set of components that the CPU Data Bus is connected to. The SNES bus is drawn in purple in the colorized jwdonal schematic. Some people like to think of Address Bus B as being 16-bits wide, with the high byte being fixed to $21.[1]
