voltage regulator?

No, that's the LM358 next to it buffering the 1/2Vdd...

wild, uneducated guess. Maybe it stored if the second RAM bank is active or not?

No. It has *something* to do with vref but I have no idea *what*. It was broken and thus actively messing with it.

Protection diodes maybe. Just guessing however.

Doesn't make a lot of sense. Pinout was +3v3, GND, unk1, unk2, Vref, +1.5V. unk[12] were at 3.3V during normal operation

Currently my best guess would be something to ensure proper power sequencing.

Could be, or a monitor of some kind. But it's weird they'd need special sequencing for Vref... And it works without.

Power sequencing is to avoid latchup inside the chips. Can work or not, depending on the chips internal design.

I assume pin 5 is the 358 output, so for power sequencing it shorts the output. Power sequencing doesn't make sense.

5 is the 358 *input*, connected to a resistor divider over half the Vdd, so that would work.
