Buck-boost
VT- MAX = VIN- MAX + VO
The current rating should be at least 10% higher than the maximum average NFET current (IT-MAX):
Buck
IT-MAX = DMAX x ILED
Boost and Buck-boost
DMAX
IT-MAX = 1 - DMAX x ILED
Approximate the nominal RMS transistor current (IT-RMS) :
Buck
IT- RMS = ILED x D

10. DIODE
The Schottky diode voltage rating should be at least 15% higher than the maximum blocking voltage (VRD-MAX):
Buck
VRD-MAX = VIN-MAX

VRD-MAX = VO
(77)
Buck-boost
VRD-MAX = VIN-MAX + VO

The current rating should be at least 10% higher than the maximum average diode current (ID-MAX):
Buck
ID-MAX = (1 - DMIN) x ILED
(79)
Boost and Buck-boost
ID-MAX = ILED
(80)
Replace DMAX with D in the ID-MAX equation to solve for the average diode current (ID). Given a diode with forward
voltage (VFD), solve for the nominal power dissipation (PD):
PD = ID x VFD
