PRODUCTION DATA
A Schottky diode should be used for the boost output diode. Do not use ordinary rectifier diodes because slow switching speeds and long recovery times degrade the efficiency and the load regulation. Diode rating for peak repetitive current should be greater than inductor peak current (up to 3 A) to ensure reliable operation in boost mode. Average current rating should 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.
