Unused Pins
Unused Pin (only for output)
Unconnect the unused output pin.
Unused Pin (only for input)
Pull-up (or down) the unused input pins with the resistor, the value of which is typically between 10 kΩ and 100
kΩ.
When the input voltage level is unstable, Pch transistor and Nch transistor of input inverter are on, and through
current goes to the input circuit. That increases current consumption and becomes noise sources to the internal
power supply.
