Yes, the data sheet specifies the range for VD as +4.5V to +5.5V, but is there any reason why it can't work at +3.3V?
Thanks !

Andy,
Wait, is this a trick question? :)
I'm 99.7% sure that 3.3V is NOT supported, but I've asked the PGA guru to comment to remove that 0.3% doubt in my mind.

Andy,
It might "work" but it won't meet the specs... So, if you can sacrifice some performance, maybe it will be ok. I'm sure Luis will chime in next week.

Hi Andy,
The Switching timing characteristics are tested/characterized using the VD=5.0V supply; therefore we can only guarantee the correct working on the device using VD= 4.5 to 5.5V. The timing characteristics and logic levels are only guaranteed using the VD=4.5V-5.5V over all temperature, process and device variations.
Best Regards,
Luis

That's kinda what I expected; I just wanted a bit of verification. I suppose that I'll use a small switcher to give me 5V from my 15V (actually, pre-regulator so more like 18V) and then an LDO to get the 3.3V micro/etc supply. I wanted to just use a switcher to give me 3.3V from unregulated DC. Another dollar, I guess!
