TTYL The same Fairchild Tinylogic section may have on Open Collector buffer. you might be able to use that as a low-side switch. Not sure if they have them or on the operating range. Btw, why not use a 1.2V-3.3V charge pump? They tend to be 1 SO-8 IC and 2-3 chip caps, so it's pretty small if that's an issue. --Brendan -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
