What is the maximum supply voltage at which the MAX1464 can operate without damaging the part?
A. Applying 6.0V on the MAX1464 does not seem problematic. There have been instances that we supplied this level of voltage on the ASIC and did not observe any adverse effects when returned to normal supply levels after few minutes, though no official data was recorded. Of course, the part will not operate per data-sheet specifications at supply levels higher than 5.5V.
