PRODUCTION DATA
The flyback diode reverse voltage is given by Equation 19.
Select a 60-V, 3-A Schottky diode for this application to account for inevitable diode voltage overshoot and ringing related to the resonance of transformer leakage inductance and diode parasitic capacitance. Connect an appropriate RC snubber circuit (for example, 100 Ω and 22 pF) across the flyback diode if needed, particularly if the transformer leakage inductance is high. Also, choose a flyback diode with current rating that aligns with the maximum peak secondary winding current of NPS × ISW-PEAK.
