LM2767: Schottky diode change concern for PD EPR schematic

Part Number: LM2767

Hi Team,

Due to my customer would like to change Schottky diode PN from MBR0520LT1G to SS0520, is there any concern?

MBR0520LT1G datasheet: https://www.mouser.tw/datasheet/2/308/MBR0520LT1_D-1810808.pdf 

SS0520 datasheet: https://www.panjit.com.tw/upload/datasheet/SS0520_SERIES.pdf 

Best regards,

Hardy

  • Hello Hardy,

    I cannot find the reverse current on the diode over temperature. As this can change heavily over temperature, this would be my only concern.

  • Hello Hardy,

    You are right, I overlooked this picture. It seems that the reverse current of the second diode is 10 times as high as the one from the first one. I would recommend to test the circuit at high temperature and check if the input current settles at a value that is ok for the customer. I expect reduced efficiency due to this reverse current.

    Best regards,
