On the LM2574 datasheet (page 4) in the absolute maximum specification it has the output voltage to ground steady state voltage rating.
I'm wondering if there is a transient output voltage pin undershoot maximum? For most switching power regulators I've seen use a transistor to switch power and transistors have a maximum Vce rating.
I'm concerned in my design if the output voltage has enough undershoot before the Schottky diode switches on it will break some part of the circuit. Is this generally an issue to be concerned about? I haven't found much specific data on catch diode switching time requirements.
