My application requires that the output of the NOR gate will not exceed 1V during power-up.
The output is pulled-down to GND (R=200kOhm)
Inputs during power-up:
Input 1 is pulled-up to VCC (R=5kOhm)
Input 2 can be low or high (undefined, but not floating)
I figured that an input level of 1V is able to turn on the low-side FET of the input buffer even if the supply voltage is lower than the minimum of 1.65V (Uhigh_min at 1.65V is approximately 1V).
If the internal logic is also functioning at 1V or at least before the output buffer is able to drive the pull-down above 1V, everything should be OK.
Is it possible to guarantee a low output state during power-up (for VCC > 1V and output pulled down)?
