Z80 memory controller. Has a hardwired 32KiB bank and switchable 16/8/4/2KiB banks arranged as a register file. To save pins the high address lines (A15-A8) are used for data input. The chip's write strobe is (port) address decoded inside the console.
{{Chipname|Z80}} '''M'''emory '''C'''ontroller. Handles the [[Z80]] bankswitching in cartridges. To save pins, the Z80's upper address line are also used as data input. The chip's write strobe SDRD0 is [[Z80 port map|port]] address decoded inside the system.

SDA10,SDA9,SDA8 are bank selector and SDA1,SDA0 range size selector or rom size selector.
SDA8~SDA15 are used for the bank number (data), SDA0 and SDA1 for selecting the window.
SDA1,SDA0 = 0,0 (Z80 port 8) select bank ranges for the Z80 $F000~$F7FF range (2Kbytes) (64k M1)
SDA1,SDA0 = 0,1 (Z80 port 9) select bank ranges for the Z80 $E000~$EFFF range (4Kbytes) (128k M1)
SDA1,SDA0 = 1,0 (Z80 port A) select bank ranges for the Z80 $C000~$DFFF range (8Kbytes) (256k M1)
SDA1,SDA0 = 1,1 (Z80 port B) select bank ranges for the Z80 $8000~$BFFF range (16Kbytes) (512k M1)
SDRD0 is the /write signal: the bank configuration is latched and the address output lines are changed on the rising edge.
'''Details:'''
SDRD0 must be high before configuring banks.
To configure a bank to be accessed (e.g. bank 0 in the $8000~$BFFF range):
*Set SDRD0 low (prepare for new bank configuration, outputs are tri-stated)
*Set SDA0~15 = '''$8003''' (select bank 0 and 16k range size) Why $8003 and not just $0003 ?
*Set SDRD0 high (latch bank, ready to convert inputs to proper output signals)
*Now, when the Z80 accesses the '''$8000~BFFF''' range, NEO-ZMC will convert this the M1 ROM zone '''$00000~$03FFF''';
To configure a bank to be accessed (e.g. bank 1 in the $8000~$BFFF range):
*Set SDRD0 low (prepare for new bank configuration, outputs are tri-stated)
*Set SDA0~15 = '''$8103''' (select bank 1 and 16k range size) Why $8103 and not just $0103 ?
*Set SDRD0 high (latch bank, ready to convert inputs to proper output signals)
*Now, when the Z80 accesses the '''$8000~BFFF''' range, NEO-ZMC will convert this the M1 ROM zone '''$04000~$07FFF''';
To configure a bank to be accessed (e.g. bank 3 in the $C000~$DFFF range):
*Set SDRD0 low (prepare for new bank configuration, outputs are tri-stated)
*Set SDA0~15 = '''$8302''' (select bank 3 and 8k range size) Why $8302 and not just $0302 ?
*Set SDRD0 high (latch bank, ready to convert inputs to proper output signals)
*Now, when the Z80 accesses the '''$C000~DFFF''' range, NEO-ZMC will convert this the M1 ROM zone '''$06000~$07FFF''';

To configure a bank to be accessed (e.g. bank 1 in the $8000~$BFFF range):
* Set SDRD0 low (prepare for new bank configuration, outputs are tri-stated)
* Set SDA0~15 = '''$8103''', select 16KiB bank 1 in window 3 (Why $8103 and not just $0103 ?)
* Set SDRD0 high (latch bank, ready to convert inputs to proper output signals)
* Now, when the Z80 reads the '''$8000~BFFF''' range, NEO-ZMC will map this to the M1 ROM zone '''$04000~$07FFF'''
