This thread was posted a while ago, have there been any tests of updates since then?

Hey Jackie,

Apologies for the late reply - I actually didn't end up requiring it. Did you try it in the end?

To follow up, did you end up successfully using the DEC2 pin LDO output as a 1.8V supply for external components that require low current? I also think it would be very useful to be able to use this, so I'd love to know if you tried it! ~Jackie

The chip and this output has not been designed for this, and we haven't done any tests or verification of it, so I can not recommend it. It could be that it works, but you will be on your own if you chose to do it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
