Rectifier Diode Selection

A low-forward voltage drop Schottky diode is used as a rectifier diode to reduce its power dissipation and improve efficiency. Using 80% derating, on VOUT for ringing on the switch node, the rectifier diode minimum reverse break-down voltage is given by Equation 41.

Equation 41. GUID-1D8EBC6D-245A-4816-A93A-AD315393C3B2-low.gif

The diode must have reverse breakdown voltage greater than 30 V. The rectifier diode peak and average currents are estimated by Equation 42 and Equation 43.

Equation 42. GUID-3DB7E4FA-1B3F-45DE-A07E-82222C82D51D-low.gif
Equation 43. GUID-E56BEFFC-3E4B-4286-A57C-03B780CC13C4-low.gif

For this design, 2-A average and 6.57-A peak is:

The power dissipation in the diode is estimated by Equation 44.

Equation 44. GUID-6725C8F6-6050-4E85-9E16-8995FE39E968-low.gif

For this design, the maximum power dissipation is estimated as 1 W. Reviewing 30-V and 40-V Schottky diodes, the MBRS340T3 40-V 3-A diode in an SMC package is selected. This diode has a forward voltage drop of 0.48 V at 6 A, so the conduction power dissipation is approximately 960 mW, less than half its rated power dissipation.
