11.1 Layout Guidelines

In many cases, functions or parts of functions of digital logic devices are unused. Some examples are when only

two inputs of a triple-input AND gate are used, or when only 3 of the 4 channels are used. Such input pins should

not be left completely unconnected because the unknown voltages result in undefined operational states.

Specified in Figure 14 are rules that must be observed under all circumstances. All unused inputs of digital logic

devices must be connected to a high or low bias to prevent them from floating. The logic level that must be

applied to any particular unused input depends on the function of the device. Generally they are tied to GND or

VCC, whichever makes more sense or is more convenient. It is recommended to float outputs unless the part is a

transceiver. If the transceiver has an output enable pin, it disables the output section of the part when asserted.

This pin keeps the input section of the I/Os from being disabled and floated.
