LM25118: output diode

Fred Cheng

Part Number: LM25118

Hi team,

my customer wonder if we can remove this output diode,

seems like for regular non-sychronous topology, the diode is not needed.

Hi Fred,

if you remove this diode and the FET at LO will be switched on, the VOUT will be shorted to GND.

I do not think that this is what the customer would like to get.

Best regards,

Stefan
