I want lots of voltage drop at 100 mA or so. A high voltage fast-recovery diode, like ES1G, might work. I suppose I could just put two ES1Gs in series, but that's not sporting. MMBD5004S is two wimpy diodes in series, in SOT-23. That would drop about 2 volts at 100 mA! This is a supply sequencing dilemma with the LT6803. A long story.
need really bad diode

I bet you have 30k of them in stock, amirite? They also come in SC70.

A long story. >I am sure you'll find your way with the problem calling for the diode without any help. I am going to insert a rant-ish comment about the "long story". Every time I have used some readily available convertor part, LTC, Maxim many ears earlier, there were long stories. Which is why to this day I make my own regulators, 1/2 74hc123 and 1/2 lmc6482, typically. Plus a mosfet and its driver of course. Somewhat more complex and the story may be long again on some occasions but the ending is happy and calls for a lot less compromise. Having control over the loop overall etc. gives you that.

Diode solutions aren't all they're cracked up to be.I just need to drop about a volt. A diode would do that just fine. Better yet 2 diodes in series so I can tune the drop. https://www.dropbox.com/s/j72tytvzae0ubf2/T660_Regs_Sep_20.jpg?raw=1 Reg3 has an abs max input of 6 volts. I want at least 6.5 for my linear regs. I can't use 3.3 as the input to reg3 because +1 FPGA core has to come up before 3.3.

Some parts are poorly defined as regards cap ESR and loop stability. Best to breadboard.

Lots of integrated switchers work fine.They take more part obviously but they don't take a much larger area on the board. I am sure lots of integrated switchers work fine, and the few (not more than 5-6) I remember using did work but had either stability issues or noise or whatever, I don't remember, I only remember there were issues beyond my control as they were integrated. I may have been too demanding, of course.> > Synchronous switchers can have bad EMI issues. > > Some parts are poorly defined as regards cap ESR and loop stability. > > Best to breadboard. >Breadboard does not help much with switchers where routing is essential. But I have found out that even for my "home made" switchers ltspice is reasonably accurate evaluating stability over load and input variations, as well as step response etc.

The structure of a PIN diode should give fairly high forward resistivity, though I'm not sure where that'd be found in a datasheet.
