■ Unused Pin (Only for Input)
Insert some 10 kΩ resistor to unused pins (only for input) to pull up or down.
If the input 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 causes power supply noise.
