==== Prototypes ====
===== PP1 =====
*Models
**MSU PP1.2 MAIN ALPS

Notable differences include
* Plastic finish being glossy
* Player LEDs arranged in a square around the USB-mini port and includes a clear plastic shield over the opening for the LEDs
* PS Home button is clear and retains a red LED underneath it
* L2 and R2 buttons are present as opposed to Triggers
* Motors are present
* Battery inside contains a sticker with the date 2006/3/2 and the model of the batter appears to be longer
* Lacks the pinhole and switch on the back
* Label on the front reads '''Gセンサー搭載 Stick動作せず''' once roughly translated it reads '''Powered by the G Sensor, without moving the stick'''
* Label on the back reads '''0604KATA2'''
* Toshiba MCU is on top side of the board (in all the other models is at bottom)
* The main board was designed without gyroscope and without accelerometer sensors, it has a "children board" sticked on top manufactured by HDK (the first 2 letters of the "HDK" brand are partially visible etched on copper on the children board), this children board includes the accelerometer '''HDK HAAM 325B''' [https://www.hdk.co.jp/japanese/topics_j/tpc053_j.htm]. It outputs 3 signals on the 3 white wires "hand made" soldered to the TOSHIBA controller to retrieve the axis data. The other "hand made" soldered component uses 3 wires (black = ground, red = volts, and yellow soldered to TP26) seems to be a '''Murata ENC-03R''' Gyroscope Sensor [http://www.alldatasheet.es/datasheet-pdf/pdf/191258/MURATA/ENC-03R.html]. It seems both components was integrated later in the circuit board of the controllers labeled "sixaxis"

Internally the Gyroscopic sensor for Sixaxis controllers is wired onto the board - presumably as a test for a sensor revision on a spare sample board. The sensor itself appears to be far from complete and very early.
Windows (10) detects the controller when connected via USB; analog sticks do not get detected but all other buttons do. The controller does not work on '''DECHA00A/J''' units, but might work on '''DECR''' units or earlier. <!-- it seems the controller was faulty at some point and was repaired (or attempted to be repaired) by replacing the blue electrolitic capacitor laying horizontally on top of the board, maybe thats the reason why the sticks are not detected on windows -->

<strike>There is not much info about this model, so is not clear if is the official VX8 or a third party clone of VX7</strike>The VX8 is official, the board traces, testpoint locations, and the sensor chips has a lot of coincidences with VX7... the weird thing that is shocking is the toshiba chip and the alps bluetooth module has been replaced

Counting from left to right... pins 8 and 14 are connected together in the PCB and carries 2.8v stanbdy (in the PCB the copper traces are wider than the others for this reason), This means there is a voltage permanently on this ribbon, also the {{padps}} button "wakes up" the controller from standby by sending this voltage back to toshiba chip

QFP package, 80pin

The pinout of the Toshiba T6UN6EFG-003 was traced in a VX4 board. Has not been verifyed if the pinout matches with T6UN6EFG-001 or T6UN6EFG-002 or other boards. It seems the pins can be remapped at bootloder as can be seen in the photos of the [http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/File:Sixaxis-Dualshock_3_Engineering_Sample_-_Front_Board.jpg PP1 prototype] (note the sensors in that photo are connected to pins 77, 78, 79, 80, this doesnt matches with newer dualshocks 3 models). Some people said in most older versions of the controller it was posible to update the controller firmware by USB with a tool that uploads a rom to the controller, this update procedure should be made by using the BT module because all USB connections are managed by it (so in some way it was the BT module the responsible to update the toshiba controller)

<div style="float:right">[[File:Texas Instruments BKO.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Texas Instruments BKO]]</div>
10 pins. Used in PP1, PP4, V2, V2.5 boards (all prototypes and retail sixasix models)
*Texas Instruments BQ24027
*bqTINY-II dual input USB/AC 1-Cell Li-Ion charger with "charge enable" input & "power good" output
*http://www.ti.com/product/BQ24027 http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/bq24027.pdf

This component is designed to work as a battery charger able to select automatically the power source from 2 optional inputs (based in the presence of them), from either an external AC adapter or from a USB cable. In the datasheet this 2 power sources are connected to pin 1 (AC) and pin 2 (USB). But the playstation 3 controllers doesnt have a connector for an AC adapter aaauch... This is the reason why the V_USB rail of the circuit board is connected to pin 1, and pin 2 seems to be unconnected. In other words... the USB is connected to the pin where it was supposed to be connected an AC adapter (pin 1) and there is nothing in pin 2

There are three consequences of this "hack", every power input pin has specific features for it (internally the component has different subcircuits for each power input). Basically the most important ones are the charge current from pin 2 (intended for USB power input) can be controlled by pin 7, it has 3 charge modes for the battery (high=500 mA, low=100mA, hi-z=disable USB charge), but because there is nothing connected to pin 2 all this internal circuits are pointless... This is the reason why in the photos looks like pin 7 is connected to ground, by grounding it sets the charge mode in 100mA but the only purpose of grounding it is to set that pin in a stable state, so is grounded for safety

The second consequence of this hack is the power input connected to pin 1 allows for a much more better control of the charge voltages (it was intended for an AC adapter but here is used for USB), the datasheet tells this is made by using an external resistor connected to pin 6, the value of the resistor indicates the charge mode, intensity, and other settings for a special function able to "wake up" faulty batteries and for the "<abbr title="A charge regime delivering moderately high-rate charging current when the battery is at a low state of charge and tapering the current to lower rates as the battery becomes more fully charged">taper charge</abbr>". Instead of a simple resistor to control all this, what the playstation controller has is several resistors connected in a <abbr title="all board models controls the battery this way, and the components involved seems to be the same in the same configuration... the resistor values and the control signal could vary by board though">very characteristic way</abbr> to a transistor, and this transistor is driven by the main MCU

Another pin that changes his function is pin 8, is intended to indicate the presence of an AC adapter connected to pin1, but here we have USB connected to pin 1, so pin 8 indicates the presence of USB power

The reason why sony chose this component (even being over the requirements of the playtation 3 controller) is because seems to be very accurate in voltage regulations and it has some additional features to control and monitor the charging processes

*PG
**The open-drain PG (power Good) indicates when the AC adapter is present. The output turns ON when a valid voltage is detected. This output is turned off in the sleep mode. The PG pin can be used to drive an LED or to communicate to the host processor.

*CE
**The CE digital input is used to disable or enable the charge process. A low-level signal on this pin enables the charge. A high-level signal disables the charge, and places the device in a low-power mode. A high-to-low transition on this pin also resets all timers and timer fault conditions. Note that this applies to both AC and USB charging.

*ISET1
**The bqTINY-II offers on-chip current regulation with a programmable set point. The resistor connected between the ISET1 and Vss , Rset , determines the AC charge rate. The V(set) and K(set) parameters are specified in the specifications table

*ISET2
**When charging from a USB port, the host controller has the option of selecting either a 100-mA or a 500-mA charge rate using the ISET2 pin. A low-level signal sets the current at 100 mA, and a high-level signal sets the current at 500 mA. A high-Z input disables USB charging

*STAT1 and STAT2
**The open-drain STAT1 and STAT2 outputs indicate various charger operations as shown in the following table. These status pins can be used to drive LEDs or communicate to the host processor. Note that OFF indicates the open-drain transistor is turned off

|-
| Charge suspend (temperature) || OFF || OFF
|-
| Timer fault || OFF || OFF
|-
| Sleep mode || OFF || OFF
|}

*BATTERY PRE-CONDITIONING
**If the battery voltage falls below a threshold during a charge cycle, the bqTINY-II applies a precharge current to the battery. This feature revives deeply discharged cells. The resistor connected between the '''ISET1''' and VSS determines the precharge rate. Note that this applies to both AC and USB charging. The bqTINY-II activates a safety timer during the conditioning phase. If threshold is not reached within the timer period, the bqTINY-II turns off the charger and asserts a FAULT code on the STATx pins

*BATTERY CHARGE CURRENT
**The bqTINY-II offers on-chip current regulation with a programmable set point. The resistor connected between the '''ISET1''' and VSS determines the AC charge rate

*BATTERY VOLTAGE REGULATION
**The voltage regulation feedback is through the OUT pin. This input is tied directly to the positive side of the battery pack. The bqTINY-II monitors the battery-pack voltage between the OUT and VSS pins. When the battery voltage rises to a threshold, the voltage-regulation phase begins and the charging current begins to taper down. As a safety backup, the bqTINY-II also monitors the charge time. If the charge is not terminated within a time period the bqTINY-II turns off the charger and asserts a FAULT code on the STATx pins

*CHARGE TAPER DETECTION, TERMINATION AND RECHARGE
**The bqTINY-II monitors the charging current during the voltage-regulation phase. Once the taper threshold is detected, the bq24027 terminates the charge. There is no taper timer for this version. The resistor connected between the '''ISET1''' and VSS determines the taper-detect level for AC input. In addition to taper-current detection, the bqTINY-II terminates charge if the charge current falls below the a threshold. This feature allows quick recognition of a battery-removal condition, or insertion of a fully charged battery. Note that the charge timer is bypassed for this feature. The resistor connected between the ISET1 and VSS determines the taper detection level

*SLEEP MODE
**The bqTINY-II enters low-power sleep mode if both AC and USB are removed from the circuit. This feature prevents draining the battery in the absence of input supply

*Notes
**This component seems to provide with several voltages to the BT module that i could not identify... probably are for the different components inside the BT module
**The connections with the toshiba controller probably are to provide voltages for the subcircuits inside it. There must be at least one exception because the toshiba is the "boss" of the board so it needs to be able to send some controll signal to this component to enable/disable power rails and things like that
**<strike>The toshiba controller probably is connected to the battery + or/and the 5V USB (so it should work even if this component is disabled because this one is a slave), is just i have not tryed to find all the pins of the toshiba chip</strike>, wrong, the toshiba chip is not connected to battery/USB, it seems to be connected only to "low voltage" lines

*Texas Instruments TS3A5018 TSSOP package
*http://www.ti.com/product/TS3A5018
*http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/ts3a5018.pdf

The TS3A5018 is a quad single-pole-double-throw ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch#Contact_terminology SPDT]) bidirectional solid-state analog switch

For this device, NC stands for normally closed and NO stands for normally open. When powered on, each COM pin is connected to its respective NC pin

The switch is enabled when EN is low. If IN is also low, COM is connected to NC. If IN is high, COM is connected to NO

The TS3A5018 is a break-before-make switch. This means that during switching, a connection is broken before a new connection is established. The NC and NO pins are never connected to each other

damn, i just noticed there is a mistake since begining the first time i copyed the pinout from the datasheet, switches 3 and 4 are inverted, and i used some of that ones comparing them with the photos to imagine the purpose of the other pins so high chances there are others wrong... the lines, pins of other components, and tespoints involved in this circuit dedicated to the sticks are the ones i been messing with, promise, is just at this point i think are connected in a different way

There are 2 components like this one in the boards where are used, every one of them is for an stick, is connected to that stick and the toshiba main controller to send the values of the X and Y axis of that stick, this two lines uses to have a testpoit

The 763 is a rare variant used only in MSU V2 2.14 boards, the only notable difference is the connections named <abbr title="the traces cant be followed in the photos, in some models seems to do some kind of loop, and in others seems to go far away maybe to the toshiba T6UN*EFG">something weird</abbr> in the pinout table are located in pins 3 and 5 (instead of pins 2 and 6), other than that there are no differences, is exactly the same component

Since this revision of the board the stick pots has 4 pins each (pole_1, pole_2, v_sticks, gnd) in that order from left to right (previous models has sticks with 3 pins pots)

In [http://www.alps.com/products/e/category_multi.html ALPS] webpage are only available sticks with 3 pins pots, there are two posible explains for this, maybe ALPS manufactured the sticks without pots and sony ordered this special version of the pots to other company then sony asembled the pots and sticks together.... or... ALPS made an special production of sticks with 4 pins pots. anyway, this pots with 4 pins are a bit special

In the boards where this component is present (or his replacement upgraded versions) every stick has two pots (to meassure rotations of X and Y axis of that stick), and every pot has 2 pins that are carrying the signals related with the rotation of the axis (pin 1 and 2 of the pot). This signals are voltages, but there is also another pin of the pot that has an additional voltage (pin 3). Inside the pot there are two separated voltages, this seems to create a magnetic field with the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect hall effect]. Also this allowed them (in further versions of the pots) to separate the mobile parts inside the pot by an intermediary "seal" that prevents dust and degradation of the parts

So... this component is the initial version that gives support for this "special sticks with 4 pins pots"

28 pins. Used in VX3, and VX4 boards

This component is dedicated to controll the sticks, the internal circuits inside it has some kind of simmetry, the V_STICKS voltage is only used to enable it. VX3 and VX4 boards has 7 capacitor networks in total and this component uses 4 of them. The 3 resistors used in the subcircuits are colored in blue which seems to indicate that are high precision.

*The subcircuit seems to work this way, im going to use rounded numbers for the math calculations because the values could vary at the time was meassured (in the schematic image at right)
**The resistance between pins inmediatly (in the first few miliseconds) when is powered up is:
***In between pin 12 and pin 15 = 35.8K + 6.70K = 42.7K
***In between pin 12 and pin 16 = 35.8K + 6.70K + 1K = 43.7K
***In between pin 13 and pin 14 = 42.7K
***In between pin 13 and pin 17 = 42.7K + 1K = 43.7K
**After some time has passed, the thermistor starts heating up, and its resistance decreases (not sure if down to zero), it works as a bypass for the 6.70K blue resistor
***In between pin 12 and pin 15 = 35.8K + <abbr title="this is the thermistor when is hot, working as a bypass">0K</abbr> = 35.8K
***In between pin 12 and pin 16 = 35.8K + <abbr title="this is the thermistor when is hot, working as a bypass">0K</abbr> + 1K = 36.8K
***Only this two lines decreases his resitance along time. The other lines (connected to pin 13) doesnt changes because doesnt have a thermistor

So the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermistor NTC thermistor] is working as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current_limiter Inrush current limiter] for pins 15 and 16. And this pins seems to be related with the negative pole of the potentiometers

In VX5 board there are 2 capacitor networks composed by 4 capacitors packed together, all them are connected in between this component and the toshiba T6UN6EFG, a total of 8 lines related with the sticks

=== Stick types ===

==== ALPS sticks with 3 Pins pots (rev 1) ====
Used in PP1 (prototype), and PP4 (first sixaxis retail) boards

==== ALPS sticks with 4 Pins pots (rev 2 and 3 ?) ====
Two rotational potentiometers (variable resistors) are positioned below eack stick to meassure X and Y displacement. Current flows constantly through each one, and the amount of current is determined by the amount of resistance. Resistance is increased or decreased based on the position of the stick in a range from 0V up to 2.8V with center point at 1.4V

----

=== Motors ===
In all the boards (except sixaxis models) there are 2 small components to controll the vibration motors (small and big motors, usually labeled as SM and BM). All them seems to be manufactured by http://www.keccorp.com/

*3 pins (transistors ?)
**In PP1.2 prototype boards the components are marked as '''-KF''' (Q7 and Q8 in [http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/images/2/27/Sixaxis-Dualshock_3_Engineering_Sample_-_Front_Board.jpg this] photo, close to the pads where the motors wires are soldered). [http://www2.kec.co.kr/data/databook/pdf/BC_/Eng/BC846_7_8W.pdf KEC BC84] based ?
**In VX boards (first dualshock 3 model with motors) components are Q4 and Q5 in [http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/images/0/08/MSU_VX_1.03_%28Top%29.jpg this] photo... the marks are not readable
*5 pins (voltage regulators ?)
**In V3.5X, VX3, VX4, VX5, VX6 ... first time the components are marked as '''KEX'''
**In VX7 and VX8 are marked as '''KE4''' (one is Q3... the other is not labeled)

<div style="clear:both;"></div>

=== Sensors ===
About sensors and testpoints... In a PS3 controller board (sisaxis or dualshock 3) there are 4 data lines that are the outputs of the sensors (accelerometer X, accelerometer Y, accelerometer Z, and gyroscope), that goes from the sensor itself to a resistor and then to the toshiba T6UN6EFG controller. Every one of that lines has 2 testpoint, one before and one after the resistor, the purpose of this testpoints is to meassure the raw data from the sensors and also to check the health of that resistor (seems to be critical, either because is degraded with the use, or because could be fryed suddenly), the schematic for every one of this lines is as simple as this:
 sensor output -> testpoint -> resistor -> testpoint -> toshiba T6UN6EFG controller
The resistor seems to have a value of 33K (verifyed in VX4 board only) and works as a filter

When the controller is turned off is posible to meassure the value of the resistor by meassuring resistance in between the two testpoints. When the controller is working is posible to check the sensor "raw" signal by touching in the first testpoint, and the "filtered" signal by touching the second testpoint (this is what the toshiba T6UN6EFG really gets)

About sensors location in the board... The giroscope is always located at the center of the board in between the sticks and aligned with the USB connector, this is because it meassures rotations around an imaginary axis located in that position (vertically in your room from floor to roof and passing exactly in between your controller sticks). The accelerometer is always located in the left-top corner of the board, this seems to be because this area is more sensitive for right handed people (if you are right handed and shake it with only right hand... the left side of the board is going to suffer more g-force)

14 pins (pin numbers are painted in white in some boards). Accelerometer - 3-Axis

This component seems to be fully compatible with the KIONIX KXPC4 accelerometer, actually most boards models has solder points to mount both, the kionix and this one (the boards are "ready" for both, is at manufacturing time when they decides which component to use)

Most of the photos of the different board models here in wiki uses the kionix (and this is a coincidence)... but if you look at the photo of the other side of that same board you will see an "empty" placement for this chip instead, aligned with it, in a corner of the board. The few exceptions are the most older models

== Ways to tell if the controller is not original ==
[[File:Dualshock 3 fake (leds light transpassing the plastic case).jpg|400px|thumb|right| Dualshock 3 fake (leds light transpassing the plastic case)]]

*The SONY logo on the top of a counterfeit controller will not be aligned correctly with a originall controller.

*Different sticker label
**Counterfeit controllers have an extra screw on the back, hidden beneath the sticker.
**The label on the back of a counterfeit controller will be paper sticker.
**The label on the back of an official controller will have a thin layer of plastic over the paper sticker, giving it a matte finish and a more protected feel.
**The paper label on the back of a counterfeit controller will not be correctly aligned with the shape of the device on the back, as it was most likely put on by hand.

*Buttons
**The center Home button on a counterfeit controller will be marginally darker than the Home button on an official controller.
**Square, Triangle, Circle, and Cross buttons will be raised higher on a counterfeit controller.
**The colors of these face buttons will be dull, compared to the bright colors of an official DualShock 3.

*Sticks
**Compared to an official controller, the seams beneath the analog sticks where the bottom and top halves of the plastic meet will be sharp.

*Leds
**The LEDs lights on the controller that signify which Player it is controlling will not be flush with the outside shell. Official controllers are relatively level all the way across. Some controllers may have minor protrusion of the LEDs, though this should not be significant.
**When you turn on a counterfeit the controller, the flashing red lights on the outside will actually shine THROUGH the casing of the device, something that would never happen on an official product. 

*Syncing
**If you have consistent trouble wirelessly syncing your controller to your PS3, the device may be counterfeit.

==Homebrew==

*PS Seismograph 0.2.0 from Deroad:

 I have updated my homebrew to 0.2.0. now it supports all tv resolution (old versions were only for 1080p/i tv)
 This is a simple Seismograph for ps3. it uses all the axis of the first controller.
