Total Power Requirements

1️⃣ Normal Operating Power

 Voltage: 3.3V
 Total Current (Average): 355.5mA ≈ 360mA
 Power: 3.3V × 0.36A = 1.18W

2️⃣ Peak Power (Max Load)

 Voltage: 3.3V
 Total Peak Current: 62️5mA ≈ 630mA
 Power: 3.3V × 0.63A = 2.08W

Power Source: 12V, 10A Solar Panel

How to Power the System?

Since all components run at 3.3V, you'll need a DC-DC Step-Down Converter (Buck
Converter) to drop 1️2️V → 3.3V efficiently.

Recommended options:
1. LM2596S Buck Converter (3A output, 90% efficiency)
2. AMS1117 3.3V Regulator (Only for low-power cases, max 1A)

Final Power Recommendation

1. DC-DC Buck Converter to step down from 12V to 3.3V.


2. Estimated continuous current requirement: ~360mA
3. Peak current capacity: ~630mA (design for at least 1A safety margin)
4. Total power needed: ~2.1W max, which is easily supported by a 12V, 10A panel.
