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 pull-up or pull-down resistors to prevent undefined operational states.

What are the requirements for input signal edge rates?

Input signals require fast edge rates as defined in the Recommended Operating Conditions to avoid excessive current consumption and oscillations caused by slow transitions.
