Q1 | What should be done to unused inputs on TTL gates?
  • they should be left disconnected so as not to produce a load on any of the other circuits and to minimize power loading on the voltage source.
  • all unused gates should be connected together and tied to v through a 1 k resistor.
  • all unused inputs should be connected to an unused output; this will ensure compatible loading on both the unused inputs and unused outputs.
  • unused and and nandinputs should be tied to vccthrough a 1 k resistor; unused or and norinputs should be grounded.
