8.2.2.10 Selecting the Schottky Diode (D1)

The high switching frequency of the TPS55330 demands high-speed rectification for optimum efficiency. Ensure that the diode’s average and peak current rating exceed the average output current and peak inductor current. In addition, the diode’s reverse breakdown voltage must exceed the regulated output voltage. The diode must also be rated for the power dissipated which can be calculated with Equation 26.

Equation 26. PD = VD × IOUT

In this conservative design example, the diode is chosen to be rated for the maximum output current of 3.6 A. During normal operation with 2.1 mA output current and assuming a Schottky diode drop of 0.5 V, the diode must be capable of dissipating 1 W. The recommended minimum ratings for this design are a 20 V, 4 A diode. However to improve the flexibility of this design, a Diodes Inc B520-13-F in an SMC package is used with voltage and current ratings of 20 V and 5 A.
