(Updated footnote on pin 34. This pin appears as an input. I drove this pin with 100 Hz square wave while writing randomly to registers. I did not observe 100 Hz coming out on any other pin.)

The Namcot 129 and 163 seem to be identical. The Namcot 175 and 340 have minor but vital differences.

19,32,43 Some boards connect a battery (through a standard diode switch) to this pin to make the waveform memory nonvolatile.
22 This pin is a mysterious open-collector output, reflecting the inverse of bit 7 in register $E000.
30 Pull-down resistor present on boards with battery for low-power mode.
33 Ground this pin if CHR's /OE and /CS lines are separate.
34 No known function.  This pin behaves as a digital input.  Namco PCBs tie this pin to GND.
44 Might be an enable for CHR RAM.  It is a push-pull output reflecting bit 7 in register $F000.

(r) - this pin connects to the ROM chips
(f) - this pin connects to the Famicom connector
(w) - this pin connects to the WRAM

Internal Vcc Connections:
19 ------- 43
32 --|>|-- 19/43 (0.7V diode drop)
Powering only 19/43 does not allow any digital operation.
