The peak reverse voltage for a boost converter is equal to the
regulator output voltage. The diode must be capable of han-
dling this peak reverse voltage. To improve efficiency, a low
forward drop Schottky diode is recommended.
POWER MOSFET SELECTION
The drive pin, DR, of the LM3481 must be connected to the
gate of an external MOSFET. In a boost topology, the drain
of the external N-Channel MOSFET is connected to the in-
ductor and the source is connected to the ground. The drive

level MOSFET can be used. For very low input voltages, a
sub-logic level MOSFET should be used.
