The design of the Super Nintendo/Super Famicom was unusual for its time. It featured a what appeared to be a low-performance CPU, but which could process instructions twice as fast as the Sega Megadrive, supported by very powerful custom chips for sound and video processing. This approach would become common in subsequent video game hardware, but at the time it was new to game developers. As a result early third-party games were of low technical quality. Developers later became accustomed to the system, and were able to take advantage of its full potential. It was the first console capable of applied acoustics in video game audio sold in North America, Europe, and Japan.

Core
CPU: Nintendo custom '5A22', believed to be produced by Ricoh; based around a 16-bit CMD/GTE 65c816 (a predecessor of the WDC65C816). The CPU runs the 65c816-alike core with a variable-speed bus, with bus access times determined by addresses accessed, with a clockspeed of 3.58 MHz. The SNES/SFC provided the CPU with 128 KB of Work RAM. The CPU also contains other support hardware, including:

• for interfacing with controller ports
  
  
• for generating NMI interrupts on Vblank
  
  
• for generating IRQ interrupts on screen positions
  
  
• DMA unit, supporting two primary modes, general DMA (for block transfers, at a rate of 2.68 MB/second) and Hblank DMA (for transferring small data sets at the end of each scanline, outside of the active display period)
  
  
• multiplication and division registers.

Cartridge Size Specifications: 2 - 32 Mb which ran at two speeds ('SlowROM' and 'FastROM'). Custom address decoders allow larger sizes, eg. 48 Mb for Star Ocean: Fantastic Space Odyssey and Tales of Phantasia

Sound

• Sound Controller Chip: 8-bit Sony SPC700 CPU for controlling the DSP; running at an effective clock rate around 1.024 MHz.
  
  
• Main Sound Chip: 8-channel Sony S-DSP with hardware ADPCM decompression, pitch modulation, echo effect with feedback (for reverberation) with 8-tap FIR filter, and ADSR and 'GAIN' (discretely controlled) volume envelopes.
  
  
• Memory Cycle Time: 279 Minutes
  
  
• Low-pass filter for improved quality of low-frequency (bass) tones
  
  
• Sound RAM: 64 KB shared between SPC700 and S-DSP.
  
  
• Pulse Code Modulator: 16-Bit ADPCM (using 4-bit compressed ADPCM samples, expanded to 16-bit resolution, processed with an additional 4-point Gaussian sound interpolation).
  
  
• Note - while not directly related to SNES hardware, the standard extension for SNES audio subsystem state files saved by emulators is .SPC, a format used by SPC players.

Video

• Picture Processor Unit: 16-Bit
  
  
• Video RAM: 64 KB of VRAM for screen maps (for 'background' layers) and tile sets (for backgrounds and objects); 512 + 32 bytes of 'OAM' (Object Attribute Memory) for objects; 512 bytes of 'CGRAM' for palette data.
  
  
• Palette: 256 entries; 15-Bit color depth (RGB555) for a total of 32,768 colors.
  
  
• Maximum colors per layer per scanline: 256.
  
  
• Maximum colors on-screen: 32,768 (using color arithmetic for transparency effects).
  
  
• Resolution: between 256x224 and 512x448. Most games used 256x224 pixels since higher resoulutions caused slowdown, flicker, and/or had increased limitations on layers and colors (due to memory bandwidth constraints); the higher resolutions were used for less processor-intensive games, in-game menus, text, and high resolution images.
  
  
• Maximum onscreen objects (sprites): 128 (32 per line, up to 34 8x8 tiles per line).
  
  
• Maximum number of sprite pixels on one scanline: 256. The renderer was designed such that it would drop the frontmost sprites instead of the rearmost sprites if a scanline exceeded the limit, allowing for creative clipping effects.
  
  
• Most common display modes: Pixel-to-pixel text mode 1 (16 colors per tile; 3 scrolling layers) and affine mapped text mode 7 (256 colors per tile; one rotating/scaling layer).

Enhancement chips

• SuperFX Developed by Argonaut. The Super FX chip is a supplemental RISC CPU for the main SNES CPU. The chip was primarily used to create 3D worlds made by shaded polygons, texture mapping and light source shading. The chip however could also be used to enhance 2D games such as Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Some other carts that the chip can be found in are Star Fox, Doom, Dirt Trax FX, Stunt Race FX, Vortex, and Winter Gold. A SuperFX2 chip was also created that used two chips each with a speed of 10.5Mhz that worked together in tandem. Many of the games designed to use it were never released.
  
  
• SA-1 65c816 8/16-bit processor, clocked at 10MHz. It contains some extra circuits developed by Nintendo, which includes some fast RAM, a memory mapper, DMA, several real-time timers, and the region lockout chip. The SA-1 was a multipurpose chip that could be found in games such as Kirby Superstars, Kirby Dreamland 3, and Super Mario RPG.
  
  
• DSP1 The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) chip was created to generate more enhanced Mode 7 rotation and scaling effects using floating-point processing. The chip can be found in Pilot Wings and Super Mario Kart.
  
  
• DSP2 A more advanced DSP chip developed by Seta that increases the SNES´s speed from 3.58MHz to 8MHz. The chip was created for Seta's own F1 Race of Champions.
  
  
• SDD1 Other than its normal processing and copy protection duties, this chip was primarily a memory compression chip. This allowed games to be bigger than normal by compressing the data. Games that used this chip were Street Fighter 2 Alpha and Star Ocean.
  
  
• C4 A chip created by Capcom. This chip was used to create enhanced transparency effects such as rain and water. The chip was used in Mega Man X2 and Mega Man X3 games.
