8.2.1.2.4 Diode Rectifier Selection

Voltage rating of high side rectifier diode in boost topology should be higher than the DC output voltage, in addition, margin should be added to withstand switching spikes. Average current going through the rectifier is approximately the DC load current. For this 12 V output application, a 20 V, 1 A Schottky diode B120AF-13 is selected to provide minimal forward voltage drop to improve efficiency.
