A high-speed bus communicating with the flash storage. Unlike earlier models where the eMMC was on a modular daughterboard, the OLED version integrates the storage chip directly onto the main logic board, complicating repair and storage upgrade paths.
For a long time, these files were locked behind paywalls. However, the community recently cracked the encryption for XZZ’s boardview files, making Switch (including OLED) boardviews public. These files contain the trace layers and, crucially, diode readings for many pins. This is a goldmine for repair tasks.

Power management in the Switch OLED is split among three primary chips working in tandem:
It specifically steps down voltage to supply the massive current required by the Tegra X1+ CPU and GPU cores during heavy gaming loads. M92T36 Power Management Controller The M92T36 handles USB Type-C power delivery negotiation. A high-speed bus communicating with the flash storage
A high-efficiency, quad-phase buck regulator working alongside the master PMIC. It is dedicated strictly to delivering clean, low-voltage, high-current power (ranging from 0.7V to 1.2V) directly to the CPU and GPU cores inside the Tegra SoC. 4. Audio, Inputs, and Peripheral Interfaces
And if you’re just curious? Appreciate the engineering. Nintendo may hate right-to-repair, but they build a mean handheld. However, the community recently cracked the encryption for
Manages system sleep states, power sequencing, and generates the low-voltage rails for the CPU, GPU, and RAM.
Negotiates the 15V profile from the official Nintendo AC adapter or standard 5V profiles from generic USB sources.
The OLED model's internal architecture is defined by several critical chips and modular assemblies:
