PGA2320 with a 3.3V logic supply

Subject says it all. 
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!
