Power Regulator

• TDA3681J : Multiple voltage regulator with switch and ignition buffer [PHILIPS]
• Datasheet

The pins go from 1 to 17 from left to right as you're looking from the inside of the phatbox towards the back.

Constant Power Pins

• Pin 13 is ground
• Pin 15 (Regulator 2) should be 5V. This powers the microcontroller.

These pins should be on at least when the ignition is on, but don't require the head unit to be "on."

Switched Power Pins

• Pin 4 (Regulator 4) is 3.3V, This is the supply for the ARM, SDRAM, Flash, etc.
• Pin 2 (Regulator 3) is 5V
• Pin 1 (Regulator 1) is 8.5V, and I'm not sure it gets used for anything (it might not even be enabled, I haven't checked)

The regulators that supply the power on these pins are controlled by the 8051 and are only on when the PB is powered-up by the head unit.
