I was trying to make a signal inverter using HD74HC.
Signal input is 2.5 V negative. What surprised me is that HD74HC still works without being powered (Vcc +5V)!
I checked the output signal (without Vcc), it shows lower output voltage, 1V.
My question is that why without power it still works and what else will it affect if not powered?
Thanks.
