MP2759 and Schottky diode

Hi,
can you explain what is needed the schottky diode across IN and PMID pins? Datasheet states for 40V/2A rating but in EVB there’s a B140 - 40V/1A, so is it sufficient 1A?
Also, the difference between MP2759 and MP2759A is only Jeita charging profile?

Thank you

Hi,
Apologies on the delayed response to your request,
Thank you for posting on the MPS Technical Forum.

The diode is needed in case a high voltage battery is plugged in. For the EVB, its for general testing, typically low power, but in case higher overshoot is expected. The SMA pkg can be easily swapped.

The main difference b/n the version is the narrow JEITA ntc range.
