Have you looked at the data*** available at National? It clearly
shows:

On/Off Threshold Voltage VO=3V
On 2.0 1.2 VMAX
Off 2.2 3.25 VMIN
On/Off Threshold Current 20 50 µAMAX

The figure on page four shows the ON/OFF pin pulled up to Vcc/IN with a
51K resistor for "off" and the pin is directly tied to ground/GND for "on".
