Hi,
The LM397 datasheet states "Wide Supply Voltage Range 5 V to 30 V" with the minimum voltage given as 5 V (no tolerance).
Our 5 V power rail has a tolerance of ± 5 - 10%, so I would like to know if I can use it to power this part.
Please advise if the minimum voltage of 5 V is an absolute minimum for the part to work within its specified performance, or if there is some tolerance on this supply voltage and we would be able to operate it from a 5 V ± 5 - 10% power supply.
Thanks!
