PS3 Heatsink
The PS3 uses Furukawa Electric heatsinks to cool the Cell and RSX chips. As the PS3 went through various hardware revisions,
the cooling technology was also updated. In summary, CECHA to CECHD used five heatpipes to cool the chips. CECHE to
CECHG used 2 heatpipes.
rom CECHH and later models, no heatpipes were used, although Cell and RSX aluminum heatsink cooling was introduced.
Variations (merged block and separate blocks) of this aluminum heatsink started with CECHL. The primary objective of these
changes were to lower the weight, parts count, and cost of the PS3.
PS3 Power Supply
All the PS3 models have a built in universal power supply. What this means is that even though a specific voltage is written on
the outside of the PS3, the PS3 can actually be plugged into any voltage anywhere in the world and work (as long as you have
the correct cable).
Therefore if you opened up the PS3, the supported voltages should be stated (on the power supply) as 100-240, which is the
range for all power outlets in the world.
The CECHJ and later models use a 261W Delta EADP-260AP power supply. It is fanless and all capacitors inside are made by
Japanese companies: Chemi-Con, Rubycon, and Nichicon.
PS3 Peripherals
Many PS3 specific peripherals have a CECHZ prefix. Also listed are peripherals that are compatible with the PS3 (like the
PlayStation Eye).
Model
Number
Name Description
CECHZC1 Sixaxis
SCPH-98040
DECR-1010: developer model
CBEH-1010: prototype
DC 3.7V, 30mA
The standard gamepad that came with the earlier PlayStation 3.
It has a 3-axis MEMS accelerometer (Hokuriku HAAM0325B) to detect XYZ velocity, and a MEMS
Piezoelectric vibrating gyroscope (Murata ENC-03R) to detect yaw (z-axis). Pitch (x-axis) and Roll
(y-axis) are calculated from gravity detection in the accelerometer.
You can upgrade the firmware by flashing it using a program running on Windows PC.
There is a small hole in the back of the keypad that when pressed resets the device (useful for
bluetooth connections gone awry).
CECHZC2 DualShock 3
SCPH-98050
CBEH-1018: prototype
DC 3.7V, 300mA
Same as the Sixaxis that came with the original PlayStation 3, but has vibration support.
It has a 3-axis MEMS accelerometer (Kionix KXPC4) to detect XYZ velocity, and a MEMS
Piezoelectric vibrating gyroscope (Epson-Toyocom XV3500CB) to detect yaw (z-axis). Pitch (x-
axis) and Roll (y-axis) are calculated from gravity detection in the accelerometer.
There is a small hole in the back of the keypad that when pressed resets the device (useful for
bluetooth connections gone awry).
CECHZK1 Wireless Keypad
SCPH-98048
DC 5V, 500mA
Battery Supply: DC 3.7V
Attaches to the Sixaxis or DualShock 3 controller and allows keyboard input. The touch pad can
be recalibrated by pressing the touch button, then holding both blue and orange shoulder
buttons for 3 seconds.
There is a small hole in the back of the keypad that when pressed resets the device (useful for
bluetooth connections gone awry).
CECHZM1
PlayStation Card
Adapter
SCPH-98042
This adaptor allows you to plug in PlayStation and PlayStation 2 memory cards into the PS3. The
adapter itself connects to the PS3's USB port.
CECHZR1
Blu-ray Disc
Remote
Controller
SCPH
-
98046
Allows you to control the Blu-ray playback via a more standard controller, rather than using the
Sixaxis or DualShock 3. By default, the controller will use slot 7 of the allowed 7 Bluetooth
