When not using /CS of TLC2543, is it necessary to make GND connection?
Since No Connect will be in a floating state, can't it be recommended?
Thank you for your consideration.

Hi Satoshi,
For predictable chip operation, it is always a good idea to maintain the digital inputs in a known state; floating them is not recommended. When the /CS pin is not being used pulling it up to logic "1" (>3V) would be best.

Hi Satoshi,
I re-read your post and I believe I may have misinterpreted your question. Here is a timing diagram from the TLC2543 datasheet that applies to the case where /CS is not being used:
Basically, the timing diagram shows /CS transitioning from high to low, and from that point on /CS remains low because, according to the datasheet, driving /CS high disables serial data transfer. So with /CS high you will not be able to send or receive data from the ADC. To be safe I would recommend replicating the timing diagram above exactly if possible. I hope this helps.
Thanks,
