I believe what you are referencing is when a pin to an IC is left with no connection. Depending on the application, often an input(s) or an output(s) is not used. In such a scenario it is good practice, and in the case of CMOS devices necessary, to tie the unused pin(s) to logic high or low using pull-up or pull-down resistors. The choice of tying to high or low will be dictated by the application and the IC's data sheet will offer guidance.

What is the Difference between linear IC and digital IC?

Both linear ICs and nonlinear ICs has an output voltage which is dependent on the input voltage. However, the difference is that linear ICs produce an output voltage which increases or decreases at a "fixed rate" relative to the input voltage. Nonlinear ICs do not do this. A voltage regulator may be considered nonlinear because as you increase the input voltage the output will climb at the same rate (just like linear ICs), however, once the input voltage reaches a particular level point, the output no longer increases as you increase the input. This is at the point where regulation begins. The nonlinear IC no longer changes its output at a fixed rate relative to the input.
