boomstick diode sub?

[eniacmike]

I have a bunch of 1n5818 schottky diodes and I was wondering if I could sub them for 1n5817 diodes.

looking at the data sheet the difference is
forward voltage on the 1n5818 is 550mV vs 450 mV on the 1n5817
and the maximum reverse voltage is 30 on the 1n5818 and 20 on the 1n5817.

looking at the schematic it's in the power section not sure if this is just for filtering or reverse protection or how that works.

Yes, you can easily sub. Even a 1N4001 is fine. Probably the 1N5817 was chosen because there is an additional voltage drop (albeit small) across the 82R resistor in series with the supply rail.

I just noticed that the schematic lists that resistor as R19 and a value of R22. Obviously, that is incorrect. It should read a value of 82R. The BOM does list the correct value.

I noticed that r22/r19 thing last night and I figured you just copied some of the bom from the version with the boost, and went with the 82r.
