2.5 Output Schottky Diode (D3) and LED Indication:

Schottky diode D3 is populated on EVM by default and is recommended where output voltage can have negative transients that can exceed absolute maximum ratings of LM74721-Q1. It can be removed if negative transients are not possible at the output.

D4 provides an indication on the status of the output voltage.
