- Solution: Ensure adequate base current drive (typically IC/10 for hard saturation)
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Driver Circuit Compatibility
- Requires proper voltage level matching with driving ICs
- CMOS outputs may need pull-up resistors for proper turn-off
- TTL compatibility requires attention to logic level thresholds
Load Compatibility
