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-C531F311-04B5-412D-9B7E-36735B99E733-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-86346933-D56C-4408-8D49-3EB76996DAF6-low.gif
Equation 43. GUID-4F290167-D7C0-4E3C-9625-50B1220B9B62-low.gif

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

Equation 44. GUID-CD5A21FC-7F31-4756-A0E2-745C07F70942-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.
