7.2.2.4 Diode Selection

A Schottky diode is the preferred type due to the low forward voltage drop and small reverse recovery charge. Low reverse leakage current is important parameter when selecting the Schottky diode. The diode must be rated to handle the maximum output voltage plus any switching node ringing. Also, the diode must be able to handle the average output current.
