SN74ALVC244 buffer question

Hello,

What should I do with the unused pins of SN74ALVC244? Ground it or leave it there?

Many thanks in advance.

You can ground the input, and leave the output alone.

Below is an similar application example:

Check the schematic on Page 7.

Thanks.

All unused inputs of the device must be held at VCC or GND to ensure proper device operation.
