Triangulum and charge pump

[ErickPulido]

is it OK to use 1n5817 instead of the 1n4001 in the charge pump?

Normally as a polarity protection diode I would say go for it...but considering there’s quite a few in series I would stick with the 1n4001. 5817 have a .3-.4v forward voltage while the 1n4001 has a .7v-ish drop. A trivial difference when there is only one...but with a bunch it may not work as intended with 5817.

You could always socket them and try it though, it may not make a difference.

I don't have sockets, I'll run a simulation to see, thanks

It will be fine, you won't hear the difference. Make sure your caps have the voltage rating called out in the BOM.

thank you I ended p using some 1n4007 that I forgot I had
