  • Unused CMOS input pins must never be unconnected because they tend to float towards the dangerous region which is in the middle between VDD and GND.
  • A CMOS Schmitt Trigger has the following advantages-
  • High input impedance, Low power consumption, even during transitions, High noise immunity, 0.7 Vcc typical.
