PRODUCTION DATA.
The external diode used in the typical application should be a Schottky diode. If the switch voltage is less than 15 V, a 20-V diode such as the MBR0520 is recommended. If the switch voltage is between 15 V and 25 V, TI recommends a 30-V diode such as the MBR0530. If the switch voltage exceeds 25 V, a 40-V diode such as the MBR0540 should be used.
The MBR05XX series of diodes are designed to handle a maximum average current of 0.5 A. For applications exceeding 0.5 A average but less than 1 A, a Microsemi UPS5817 can be used.
