As the title states:
I have a slow output from a SN54AHC174 hex d-type Flip-flop and need to amplify the output to +30v with a rise time of 10ns or less.
I just need enough current to run it.
All help and advice is appreciated.
It depends on the current you want. If the need is limited to about 1W, a classical bipolar transistor like the 2N3866 is perfect. It is driven by its base with a 100 to 470 ohm resistor, and the collector is connected to the 30v power supply by a resistor. Output on the collector. Be careful, the signal will be inverted. For more power (2,5 W) but a slower switching which should still be around 10ns, there is the 2N3553. Beyond that, you should not look for switching transistors, but HF power transistors for V/UHF amplifiers.
