Thats pretty good, perfect for battery operation.

I don't think we need a regulator. If we have 4.8V from the battery,
the digital parts will run happily, though it's hard to tell for how
long, as the voltage drops. For the analog section we can let digital
ground be -2.4V and digital VCC +2.4V. If we need more than that,
it's possible to add two batteries at the 'ends' to achive +/- 3.6V,
more than enough for a lot of opamps. What do you think about that?
