Diode selection

11.1

Freewheeling diode

A rectifier across the low-side MOSFET is recommended. The rectifier works as a voltage

clamp across the synchronous rectifier and reduces the negative inductor swing during the

dead time between turning the high-side MOSFET off and the synchronous rectifier on. It

can increase the efficiency of the switching section, since it reduces the low-side switch

losses. A Schottky diode is suitable for its low forward voltage drop (0.3 V). The diode

reverse voltage must be greater than the maximum input voltage. A minimum recovery

reverse charge is preferable. Below there is a list of some Schottky diode manufacturers.

11.2

Charge pump diode

The charge pump capacitors are fed by the current supplied by LGATE1 (output of the low-

side driver for the section 1). Dual in package diodes, in series configuration, could be used

to reduce the area occupation.
