LT3508

Dear EngineerZone,

I have a question regarding the LT3508. The Sckottkydiodes which are positioned near the outputs of the internal power switches, are different in value. Although in examples the same Sckottkydiodes are use, D3 and D4 are never the same in a circuit. My question is, would this matter. Can I for example use the same sckottkydiode in for the 3V3 and 5V? Could you elaborate a bit about the sckottkydiode.

Something else caught my attention. The datasheet calls the D1 in figure 1 a catch diode, but in the figure D2 is the catch diode right?

Thank you
