I'm designing an analog circuit with a regulated +/-12V supply. I want to include a 4000 series CMOS logic device to switch a sub-circuit at sub-Hz frequency.
I haven't worked out all the details but, at this stage, using ground as Vdd and -12V as Vss looks like a convenient way to go. Is there any reason why this is inadvisable? Any caveats? (Proper care will be taken to ensure that no pin will be pulled outside Vdd and Vss).
