Hi again. Thanks for another comprehensive reply, that is helpful for me in my learning questthe circuit you have drawn is a little complicated for me at this stage (I don't quite understand it all) and it is perhaps a little component-heavy for my application, but it is interesting. How much current would you expect to be able to draw from such a circuit?
I would also like some clarification on my original question, in that what is the relationship between the inductance of the inductor and the available current I can draw from my MC34063?
Thanks
Yes.. this is the relationship it is inversely proportional .. has to do with the duty cycle of the regulator and the voltage across the inductor a whole lot of things that are over my head, I believe you can add a resistor in order to use a smaller inductor if that's the goal. Maybe someone with more knowledge will add more to this.
