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.

=== Ribbon Circuit Boards ===
=== Ribbon Circuit Boards ===
For any arcade stick builders soldering to the vias on the PCB board (in the models where there are no testpoints availables) isn't exactly the easiest thing to do, using the copper contacts for the ribbon board is really the best option. In some board models (VX3, VX4, VX5, VX6, VX8) the copper contacts are covered by a black carbon material that needs to be removed if these spots are to be used to solder in them, this can be done with an X-acto knife or some fine sandpaper, just be careful and when you get to the shiny copper, STOP, you're done. Tin it up with some solder and there are your spots to use. Try and use a 30awg wire, or 28awg at the largest, and make sure to secure the wiring with some hot glue after you make the connection, but don't glue over the solder joint you just made, secure the wire to the board back from the solder joint, in case you ever have to get to it again for any reason.
The pull-up 7.5k Resistors ("printed" on the ribbon circuit boards) also need to be put back in the circuit as they're built into the ribbon board and when it's removed they're not, and the controller will act up on you if these are not in the circuit. There needs to be 2 of these pull-up resistors installed, one goes from V_STBY to COM1, the other goes from V_STBY to COM2. If you don't have any 7.5k resistors you can use anything from 6.8k to 10k really, but they do need to be installed since the ribbon board is removed when building an arcade stick, all of the PS3 controllers are setup this way and need those pull-up resistors if the ribbon board is removed

If you scroll down this wiki page a bit you will notice the pinout of the first EEPROM is the same than the next ones, the pinout tables are repeated for convenience, in the case of the Renesas 504E it was used in boards PP1, PP4, V2, V2.5, VX, V3.5X but that boards had different versions of the toshiba MCU (T6UM'''2'''EFG-0'''103''', T6UM'''3'''EFG-00'''1''', T6UN'''6'''EFG-00'''1''', T6UN'''6'''EFG-00'''2'''), some pins of that component was remapped at some point, probably this changes never affected the EEPROM pins (so this info about the toshiba pinout could be removed from here because can be seen in the [[Template:Toshiba T6UN6EFG Pinout]]), but by now are kept here inside the EEPROM pinout tables just incase someone needs or wants to add accurate pin-to-pin details of an specific board model. If at some point it can be verifyed that all EEPROM pins are connected to the same toshiba MCU pins in all the board models then it will be better to replace all duplicated EEPROM pinout tables by a single one but until that happens is better this way. Also the tables can be used to add info about the board testpoints, new board models doesnt have testpoints for EEPROM lines but is posible some old models have them, in that case this tables can be used to add info about them (while rushing as i did) and later move that EEPROM testpoint info to [[Template:PlayStation 3 controller PCB TestPoints]]

**The connections named in the table BT_POWER_ON and STICKS_POWER_ON with the toshiba T6UN6EFG could have two purposes, either to provide voltages for the subcircuits inside toshiba T6UN6EFG, or to allow the toshiba T6UN6EFG to send control signals to switch the low voltage power rails (marked in orange in te table). This is a big blind shoot though, based in how some groups of connections are grouped at the toshiba T6UN6EFG side (see the [[Template:Toshiba T6UN6EFG Pinout]])

This is a big blind shoot though, based in how some groups of connections are grouped at the toshiba T6UN6EFG side (see the [[Template:Toshiba T6UN6EFG Pinout]])
**The toshiba T6UN6EFG (pin 4) is connected to the battery + pin so it should work even if the texas instruments SN89062 is disabled, is unknown how much of the internal circuits of the toshiba T6UN6EFG are enabled by pin 4, but there are some other subcircuits of the toshiba T6UN6EFG that are powered by the standby power rail generated by the instruments SN89062 (the V_STBY pin in the table). The importance of this details is at logic level in the way the circuit works and who is the "boss" of the board
**The toshiba T6UN6EFG (pin 4) is connected to the battery + pin so it should work even if the texas instruments SN89062 is disabled, is unknown how much of the internal circuits of the toshiba T6UN6EFG are enabled by pin 4, but there are some other subcircuits of the toshiba T6UN6EFG that are powered by the standby power rail generated by the instruments SN89062 (the V_STBY pin in the table). The importance of this details is at logic level in the way the circuit works and who is the "boss" of the board
**The battery power rail has 3 connections, to the battery + pin connector, to the Texas Instruments SN89062 pin 16 (there is a direct connection in between this two), and also connected to the T6UN6EFG pin 4 by using an intermediate 147K/190K diode ?, and another diode of the same value to ground. The point of this diodes is to protect the toshiba chip because the other side of the battery power rail can work in two modes, when the controller is working and the only power source is the battery then the battery power rail provides power to the toshiba T6UN6EFG and Texas Instruments SN89062, and when the USB cable is connected then the Texas Instruments SN89062 checks the battery charge and starts the recharge, this recharge is made by using variable voltages (if the battery is very empty the voltage is higher and at the end of the chargue it starts reducing the intensity), the toshiba T6UN6EFG cant work with this variable voltages (other than using this voltage values as a check to know how the charge process is being made in a very accurate way), so the diodes seems to work as a barrier to stop that variable voltage to reach the toshiba T6UN6EFG
**All the boards has a component (with 5 pins) that protects the USB lines from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_discharge ESD] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_interference EMI] and other kind of dangerous voltage effects that could appear on the USB data lines, is connected to the USB power rail (pin 4), standby power rail (pin 3), USB data + (pin 1), USB data - (pin 5), and to ground (pin 2). In some of the board models (the ones that has that side of the board printed such V2.5) it can be seen is labeled D1 (diode 1, the first and most important diode of the board), the component is listed in [https://www.electronicproducts.com/Sony_Playstation_3-whatsinside_text-10.aspx this link] as one of the parts of the PP4 boards and is marked 500 (when looking at a photo of a PP4 board search for the component labeled D1, and marked 500, next to the USB connector), sadly i could not find a accurate datasheet of it (if someone finds something please post it), but is something close to [http://www.syncpower.com/datasheet/SPE6V8UN.pdf this] (dual) or [https://assets.nexperia.com/documents/data-sheet/BZA800AVL_SERIES.pdf this] (quad). The component is actually a diode array made either with standard or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient-voltage-suppression_diode TVS diodes]. It can be defined as something such... "multichannel ESD protection diode array" (the 2 channels are the USB data lines + and -, and the 2 voltages are the USB or battery power sources). In VX4 version of the board this diode is marked N13, in VX5 N1W, in PP1 prototype (and PP4) 500, in VX7 N1D ?

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:
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
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)

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)

*SPI
==== ALPS 203A ====
**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
**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

Without knowing what is inside, just based on the size of this BT module... the logic "chip" inside probably is a bluecore4-ROM based model (or 5-ROM series), this means the flash memory is integrated inside the "chip"
 
The pin numbers can be seen on VX7 boards

===== Cambridge Silicon Radio unknown =====
<div style="float:right">[[File:Cambridge Silicon Radio BT bluecore unknown.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Cambridge Silicon Radio BT bluecore unknown]]</div>
Used in boards: VX8 only
 
This version of the logic "chip" probably is pretty similar (or exactly the same) than the one used inside the previous ALPS 603A BT module, the difference is the crystal and the "chip" itself has been moved out of the "old" BT modules PCB, that BT module PCB had 6 layers in previous versions and the dualshock 3 PCB had 2 layers. To make this change posible the PCB of VX8 boards is multilayer (there are a lot of traces "hidden" connected to the BT "chip")
<!--Actually, VX8 board doesnt have a MCU (the toshiba main controller was removed, wtf)... this is very weird, it means everything is connected to the bluecore chip... so is doing a lot more than previous versions -->
