The PGM is designed to work at 5V. Yes,12V is used as well.. BUT this is ONLY for the Sound Amp chip.. and to go into the 12V to 5V voltage regulator for the DSP / DAC chip. (You CAN make a PGM run with ONLY 5V just incase you didn't know)
So at the end of the day is STILL a 5V system. When you look at ANY datasheet for a flash chip.
Lets look at the MXIC MX26L6420 datasheet. (I have seen these used on many "Conversion" pcbs). "Output voltages and input voltages on the device is determined by the voltage on the V I/O pin. This range is "1.65V TO 3.6V". So there is a big difference from 3.6V to 5V!!
