Schematic from the game 'Stray'
« on: July 24, 2022, 10:20:27 am »
Hi all
was watching a streamer and this schematic was on the wall but upside and flipped etc. What would it do? I see ACDC conversion going on at least. Please excuse the awkward removal of the streamer

It definitely looks like some kind of switched-mode power supply. There's obviously a bridge rectifier at the left side, the transformer seems to be a step-down one, I think the label says "24 V". in the middle there's are multiple chips, each with a series output inductor, and a parallel diode between the ground and the output, this is a textbook buck converter. Notably, the power converter at the top right says "OPTION 11 AMPERE". At the rightmost side of the schematic it shows a battery. I also see +5 V and +12 V labels around here. Finally I can also recognize the word "charger" in the title block at the bottom right.

So yeah, a battery charger implemented by a linear AC-DC power supply, followed by switched-mode DC-DC converters.

That's brill. Thank you for the detailed and polite response. I had charger also!

There's several schematics used as decorations. Another one appears to be a discrete transistor OTL amp, though it is possibly incomplete as there are current shunts on the output transistors not being measured by anything.

This is pretty, cool. I wonder how they came up with these models? Any other games have anything remotely like this lol

I cranked up the contrast a bit.

looks like something from a magazine. probably french. "batterie" "amperes"
classic diode bridge but also a boost converter with a diode OR , then a switching stepdown with optional parallel stepdown for current doubling.

Pretty much what niconiconi said. AC into some switchers and into a battery. Not unlike a USB charger wall wart thing, but much beefier.

Here is another one which is a 200W(!) ATX power supply:

I think I found the one OP is asking, it's from this site: http://matthieu.weber.free.fr/electronique/chargeur/index.html

@free_electron Thanks for pointing it out the wording is french. I just lookup "lead acid battery charger Schematic" in french and it shows up in the first couple of images.

Their purpose and functionality are similar, but the implementations differ greatly. Nearly all USB chargers and wall-warts for electronics do ~KHz switching at the AC primary side at a high voltage to reduce transformer size. But this battery charger does a linear step-down first to 24 V using an old-fashioned 50 Hz transformer, and only performs DC-DC conversion at the secondary side. I guess for a heavy device like a lead-acid battery charger, the extra weight or size doesn't really matter (and since it's switched-mode the efficiency can still be high). From the schematics, it's also an easy way to allow an aux DC input.

P.S: in my original answer I almost recognized the letters "LT" on the DC-DC chips, but I wasn't sure whether it was an illusion caused by reading too much Linear App Notes so I didn't say anything. It turned out I wasn't wrong, it was just that there's another National chip with "LM" on it that confused me.  :popcorn:

Another fun easter egg within this game: during one mission you need to turn on power generator that can supply 1.21GW.

Look closer at those characters there too...they'll look familiar.

unlikely this schematic has anything deeper. my impression it is just added as wall art.
having played all the Ratchet games up to playstation 4. I would give this Japanese style cat game, set in the age of robots, a 10 out of 10 .
as a solid 15 hr single player platformer. they should make a sequel to Stray.

Thanks for this post. It reminded me that I need to buy this game when on sale. The fact that it has schematics in the game makes me want to play it even more now.
I really enjoyed playing it. It had this great ambiance. Felt like every single screenshot could be a piece of art.

If it's of interest to anyone: That schematic was drawn with SPlan https://www.electronic-software-shop.com/splan-80.html?language=de.

Very nice and simple piece of software. Sadly the schematic editor and their layout tool do not communicate whatsoever. So useless for any type of serious work.
Still useable for simple stuff.

Nice looking bit of equipment here too though I cannot fathom what it might be.

Looks kinda like a freq counter or highly accurate power supply but there are too many knobs on the right hand side.

Given that the game devs are ex-Ubisoft Montpellier, it's no surprise to see a schematic in French. I'd expect the TE to be similarly French/Belgian/Dutch etc, and indeed it looks very much like a Philips combined RF gen and counter, possibly one they created themselves by merging two or three images together; either way it gives of a definite Philips vibe.

Looks similar to a paper chart recorder - I seem to remember that color theme and the knob configuration.
