*Pin 16 is ither tied to pin 15 or left floating, depending on the board

This chip was found in many NES NTDEC games and acted like CIC stun [1], [2]

It's exact behviour is unknown, but PPU-A0 is probably a source of high frequency signal, whose current is amplified and available on pins 6-11. Next, going through charge pump, a negative voltage of around -4V is produced which disables NES' internal CIC.

The role of other signals (CIC-TO-PAK, CIC-TO-MB, CIC-CLK) is open question.
