Hello, I have a new design and would like to know if it is OK to use one of the OPA2180 Op Amps as a Comparator to drive a small MOSFET.
Thank you,

You need to place a large enough resistor to limit the max current to 10mA or less but this will still cause erroneous tripping threshold voltage by the voltage drop across the series input resistor unless the input transition signal is slow enough for the input current to stop flowing before comparator is tripped.
