PRODUCTION DATA.
The Schottky diode voltage rating should be at least 15% higher than the maximum blocking voltage (VRD-MAX):

The current rating should be at least 10% higher than the maximum average diode current (ID-MAX):
Buck
Boost and Buck-Boost
Replace DMAX with D in the ID-MAX equation to solve for the average diode current (ID). Given a diode with forward voltage (VFD), solve for the nominal power dissipation (PD):
