This is the datasheet of the MUX (74LVC1G157) I am working with. While I was doing the power calculation, came to the following parameter, ΔICC.

enter image description here

1) What is this additional supply current stands for?

2) What is the significance of this value?

    \$\begingroup\$ The triangle symbol means 'delta' or 'the change in'. So yours means 'the change in Icc' under certain conditions. (The answers below explain the conditions.) It's not a separate current to Icc, its describing a behaviour of Icc. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ As it says : additional supply current per pin. Vi=Vcc-0.6 suggests this applies to each input pin held high but not actually at VCC. There will be some explanatory note in the text. \$\endgroup\$

To avoid the "additional supply current" Vin must be 0V or Vcc.

Note that ΔIcc is spec'd as Vcc-0.6V.

This implies the beginning towards Vgs(th) output crossover conduction currents which with thermal drift in threshold cause the nominal additional current to reach 500uA max.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Yes but NO this is an addon to supply current if the input voltage is offset from either rail. They spec'd the input at Vol typical outputs that might a pull up load. It is an unusual spec. The supply current will be even more if the input is Vdd/2 \$\endgroup\$
