Would like to use a STM32L452 MCU with VDD=1.8V but still be able to maintain USB functionality for DFU updates. This device has a separate VDDUSB pin that I would like to power separately (3.3V) from an LDO when VBUS is connected.

As long as the VDDUSB supply is from 3.0V to 3.6V and is the last to be applied and first removed (vs. VDD), there should be no issues?

Hello @JOkam.1

Yes, according to datasheet 3.9.1 Power supply schemes, VDDUSB = 3.0 to 3.6 V: external independent power supply for USB transceivers. The VDDUSB voltage level is independent from the VDD voltage.

Concerning Power-up/down sequence in this same chapter, check that you meet the requirements on VDD & VDDA (no contraints on VDDUSB).
