8.2.2.7 Output Diode Selection

The maximum voltage stress experienced by the diode on the secondary side can be calculated using Equation 57.

Equation 57. VD_STRESS= VOUT+VIN_MAXNPS
Equation 58. VD_STRESS= 5V+36V2=23V

The maximum expected voltage is 23V, but a higher rating needs to be selected to provide margin by allowing for transient voltage spikes. Note that an RC snubber across the output diode is potentially required depending on the extent and magnitude of the ringing across the power diode at turn-off. The current rating of the diode needs to be sufficient to handle the maximum load current of the converter. The diode was selected to have ratings of 80V and 15A to provide significant margin above the maximum operating conditions.
