 My power comes from a CR2032 coin cell. 
 My board has a 1.8V LDO (Toshiba TCR3UM) because my temperature sensor is calibrated for 1.8V (TMP112B). I would like to know if I can get rid of the LDO and use the internal LDO instead</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Tue, 30 Nov 2021 13:40:53 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/82238/do-i-need-my-ldo" /><item><title>RE: Do I need my LDO?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/341320?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Nov 2021 13:40:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:81f0b5f6-0944-4e1f-9c78-d2e1c3519ad3</guid><dc:creator>ketiljo</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Normally, you could connect the battery to VDDH, configure REG0 to 1.8 V and power the temp sensor from VDD. See high voltage mode at&lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ps_nrf52840/power.html"&gt;https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ps_nrf52840/power.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But as the module seems to have VDDH connected to VDD internally, this functionality is disabled and you must use an external LDO.&lt;/p&gt;
