OSC Pin in other modes than inverter

Category: Hardware
Product Number: ADM660

The datasheets of all x660 voltage inverters like the ADM660, MAX660, LTC660 are quite clear that the OSC input can only be driven in inverter mode and not in votlage doubler mode. I am aware that the OSC pin and its internal current sources are referenced to LV on the low side and V+ on the high side. I would assume that with proper level shifting (swing between LV and V+?) one should still be able to overdrive the oscillator. Is there anything else that would prevent that?
