Inverter Gates FAQ

How should unused inputs be handled?

Unused inputs must not be left floating. They should be terminated to either VCC or ground using a pull-up or pull-down resistor, typically 10 kΩ, to prevent undefined operational states.

What is the maximum capacitive load recommended?

The device can drive a load with a total capacitance less than or equal to 50 pF while meeting all data sheet specifications.
