The PS3 syscon is the main power controller chip of the PS3. It is responsible for powering up the main 12v rail of the [[Power Supply]] and various power systems by switching different [[Talk:Regulators|voltage regulators]] in the motherboard, and for configuring and initialising the [[CELL BE|BE]], [[RSX]] and [[South Bridge|SB]] via dedicated SPI buses | The PS3 syscon is the main power controller chip of the PS3.

The Syscon is a SoC and based on a ARM7TDMI-S (in the [[Mullion]] syscons) or a NEC 78K0R (in the [[Sherwood]] syscons) design. There is external access by "JTAG" (disabled from factory on retail models), an EEPROM programming interface (only on Mullion) and Serial (UART). | The Syscon is a SoC and based on a ARM7TDMI-S (in the [[Mullion]] syscons) or a NEC 78K0R (in the [[Sherwood]] syscons) design.
