SN74LVTH244A: SN74LVTH244A for the unused pins

Part Number: SN74LVTH244A

Hi team,

The customer has a question for SN74LVTH244A.  The datasheet shows "Active bus-hold circuitry is provided to hold unused or

floating data inputs at a valid logic level. Use of pullupor pulldown resistors with the bus-hold circuitry is not recommended." on page 2.

Also, the datasheet shows "NOTE 5: All unused control inputs of the device must be held at VCC or GND to ensure proper device operation.".

So, How to deal with the unused input pins and output pins? keep floating?

Best Wishes,
