I hope there are some smart electronic circuit designers among the reader who can help me (rookie) solve the following issue I'm having. I am using the L293D Motor-Driver ICs which require a logic supply voltage (VCC1: 5V) and a power supply voltage (VCC2: up to 36V). Since I realized that they draw some current when VCC2 is connected I thought it would be clever to supply VCC2 only once the motors are needed (similar to the 'enable' pin). Question is what do I do with the VCC2 pin when it is not connected to the power supply. Can I pull it to GND or shall I leave it open?
