(Redirected from Standard Data Transmission Region)
There are two ARAM chips on the SNES Motherboard, both connected to S-DSP. All accesses from the SPC700 go through the S-DSP. ARAM is a total of 65,536 bytes (or 256 pages, or one bank, or 512 kilobits) in size. ARAM is timeshared between the S-SMP and S-DSP.
According to fullsnes, ARAMs consisting of two Motorola MCM51L832F12 32Kx8 SRAM chips tend to contain a repeating 64-byte pattern of 32 zeros and then 32 FFh's at power up.
