Hello PIC List!

I have a design that uses the 74LVC1G332. I found that it draws about 45mA
when 2.2V is applied to all three inputs and does not even get hot. The
purpose of this gate is to square a very slow moving voltage, the threshold
voltage accuracy and stability is unimportant. Hysteresis is not required.

My application is space and power constrained. Is there a logic gate that
does not exhibit this behavior? (100uA in the undefined would be much more
acceptable than 45mA) Maybe a schmitt trigger would be designed to
accommodate this?

Otherwise I think I will be forced to use a comparator which would add two
(or three) resistors to the design for a reference voltage. A single
transistor solution would probably not be optimal due to the limited gain.


Thanks!
