A typical       silicon diode has a barrier potential of between 0.6 and 0.7 volts;       schotkeys less than half that so it seems slightly low but probably still       good. You can always look up the datasheet for that particular diode and       see what the Vf should be just to be on the safe side.                                          --       This message may be freely reproduced without limit or charge only via       the Usenet protocol.
