Functional operation under these condition is not implied. Externally applied V+ and V- can have a maximum magnitude of +7 V, but their absolute addition can not exceed 13 V. Running on internal charge pump, intrinsic self limitation allows exceeding those values without any damage. Startup voltage sequence (VCC, then V+, then V-) is critical, therefore it is not recommended to use this device using externally applied voltage to V+ and V-. 4/18 ST3232B - ST3232C Electrical characteristics 3 Electrical characteristics Table 4.
