In all the boards (except sixaxis models) there are 2 small components to controll the vibration motors (small and big motors, usually labeled as SM and BM). All them seems to be manufactured by http://www.keccorp.com/

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:
