This is next circuit switching converter. This converter reduces the voltage from 12V to 3.3V with very popular DC/DC converter MC34063. The coil was calculated on the 22uA, but the efficiency was very low. The coil is 470uH/3A because other coil wasn't to available. A efficiency is 73.086%. In the datasheet is efficiency 80%. The switching converter was designed for 500mA with max ripple 100mV. When measuring ripple was the current drawn 550mA. Frequency of switching was 68KHz.
