Comparators can have issues with floating inputs. It is common practice to tie unused inputs to ground or VDD through resistors, but often a direct connection suffices for unused inputs.
These are capacitors, and they do not require pull-up or pull-down resistors.
Recommendations
Unused Comparator Inputs: It is advisable to connect unused comparator inputs to either GND or VDD to prevent them from floating. You can use direct connections unless specific biasing is needed.
Example: You can connect the unused negative input pin (IN-) to GND if it is not used.
Let me know if you have any specific use-case concerns or further modifications to this setup!

HSDL-4400#011:
- This is an infrared LED. Its pins are:
- Pin 1 (-)
- Pin 2 (+)
- Typically, LEDs do not require pull-up or pull-down resistors. They just need a series resistor to limit current.
