Hi Guys,
I am looking at boost converter design at the moment and I came across a
lot of useful and interesting information on the web, but with that I
found a few discrepancies that I would like some advice with. 
On one of the sites I found it says that the forward diode should be
dimensioned to be able to handle at least current equal to the peak
current on the inductor, I can not see why, as the diode should never
see that current. Am I missing something here? What value of max current
would you use for this diode normally on your designs? Best Regards
            Luis
