PRODUCTION DATA.
A Schottky diode must be used for the boost output diode. Peak repetitive current must be greater than inductor peak current (up to 9 A) to ensure reliable operation. Average current rating must be greater than the maximum output current. Schottky diodes with a low forward drop and fast switching speeds are ideal for increasing efficiency. Choose a reverse breakdown voltage of the Schottky diode significantly larger than the output voltage. Do not use ordinary rectifier diodes because slow switching speeds and long recovery times cause the efficiency and the load regulation to suffer.
