Hi,
We are using two channel AND gate in one of our circuits. Only one channel is used & the other one is completely not used. Is it okay to put all the inputs & output of the unused channel as no connection (NC).
Regards,

Hi Sradha,
Leaving those inputs floating could cause the device to consume more power or even harm the device. I recommend tying to ground through a pull-down.
Please see [FAQ] How does a slow or floating input affect a CMOS device?
