If the output switch is driven into hard saturation (non−Darlington configuration) at low switch currents (≤ 300 mA) and high driver currents
(≥ 30 mA), it may take up to 2.0 ms for it to come out of saturation. This condition will shorten the off time at frequencies ≥ 30 kHz, and is
magnified at high temperatures. This condition does not occur with a Darlington configuration, since the output switch cannot saturate. If a
non−Darlington configuration is used, the following output drive condition is recommended:
Forced b of output switch :
IC output
IC driver – 7.0 mA *
w 10
* The 100 W resistor in the emitter of the driver device requires about 7.0 mA before the output switch conducts.

If the output switch is driven into hard saturation (non−Darlington configuration) at low switch currents (≤ 300 mA) and high driver currents
(≥ 30 mA), it may take up to 2.0 ms to come out of saturation. This condition will shorten the off time at frequencies ≥ 30 kHz, and is magnified
at high temperatures. This condition does not occur with a Darlington configuration, since the output switch cannot saturate. If a
non−Darlington configuration is used, the following output drive condition is recommended.
