SLVSAX2B September 2011 – June 2020 TPS61170-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA.
The high switching frequency of the TPS61170-Q1 device demands a high-speed rectifying switch for optimum efficiency. Ensure that the average and peak current rating of the diode exceeds the average output current and peak inductor current. In addition, the reverse breakdown voltage of the diode must exceed the switch FET rating voltage of 40 V. So, the ONSemi MBR0540 is recommended for the TPS61170-Q1 device. However, Schottky diodes with lower rated voltages can be used for lower output voltages to save the solution size and cost. For example, a converter providing a 12-V output with 20-V diode is a good choice.
