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.

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. The PCB has more than 2 layers (previous versions up to VX6 had only 2 layers)

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
8 pins. Used in V2, V2.5, VX, and V3.5X boards (the toshiba 763 is a rare variant used in V2 2.14 boards only)

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 a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetoresistance magnetoresistive 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"

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
 
By comparing this chip with the previous Toshiba TC75W54 there are two important differences, most notable is the Toshiba TC75W54 doesnt have the pins dedicated to the sticks subcircuits loops (where the thermistor/s is/are located) but it seems are around it, the Toshiba TC75W54 has 4 thermistors dedicated to this loops and Texas Instruments SN84001 has only one (this is an improvement to reduce costs and to make the circuit more simple and efficient). The point is that loops seems to be similar, maybe not exactly the same but something close to it. The other big difference is the Toshiba TC75W54 doesnt have connections with Toshiba T6UN6EFG pins 37, 38, 39, 40 (but are used connected somewhere else)... most probably is this pins are related with the stick subcircuits loops too

This is the only version of the boards where there is not a transistor (usually marked as <abbr title="Acronym of a Digital Potentiometer ?">'''DP'''</abbr>) to set the resistance that controlls the battery charge speeds, taper, and other battery charge configurations, the reason why this component doesnt exists in VX5 is because is integrated inside Texas Instruments A6044A0. The way it works is 1) toshiba pin 41 sends the signal (that was connected to the base of a transistor in all the other board versions) to Texas Instruments A6044A0 pin 42. Then 2) the signal drives an internal transistor (or digital potentiometer ?) inside the Texas Instruments A6044A0 that has the emitter pin connected to ground, so pin 43 is totally (or partially with a variable resistance ?) connected to ground. Then 3) Texas Instruments A6044A0 pin 45 calculates the battery setpoint by meassuring the resistance in between pin 43 (ground) and 45. Pin 45 works exactly the same way than in other boards models, actually the values of the resistor and diode in between pin 43 and 45 are the same used in some other boards such VX4

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:
| 40 ||  ||
  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)
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


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)

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:
*http://www.analog.com/en/products/mems/accelerometers.html
sensor output -> testpoint -> resistor -> testpoint -> toshiba T6UN6EFG controller
*http://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/semiconductors/sensor-ics/accelerometer-ics/?applied-dimensions=4294967128
The resistor seems to have a value of 33K (verifyed in VX4 board only) and works as a filter
*http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/accelerometer-ics/0412775/
 
*http://docs-europe.electrocomponents.com/webdocs/0aa7/0900766b80aa75b6.pdf
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)

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

*SPI
----
**The SPI port can be used for system debugging. It can also be used for programming the Flash memory
**The DFU boot loader must be loaded into the Flash device before the UART or USB interfaces can be used. This initial flash programming can be done via the SPI


*UART
=== Bluetooth ===
**BlueCore4-External UART interface provides a simple mechanism for communicating with other serial devices using the RS232 protocol. Four signals are used to implement the UART function. When BlueCore4-External is connected to another digital device, UART_RX and UART_TX transfer data between the two devices. The remaining two signals, UART_CTS and UART_RTS, can be used to implement RS232 hardware flow control where both are active low indicators
