Dec 12, 2014 at 4:18 comment added George Herold Re light level, OK I perhaps shouldn't have commented. I don't know photo-transistors... (the only time I looked photo-diodes were better.. more area, photons.)
Dec 11, 2014 at 22:38 comment added ythey Supply is not an option. Reducing resistors was my primary solution, and it worked; however, DC is relatively low, %33. Contradiction to what you say, increasing the distance, meaning less light I think also improves propagation delay. I finally make R2&R3 1.1k. How much are they decreased, and what may be the effects? @GeorgeHerold
Dec 11, 2014 at 17:41 comment added George Herold I've hardly ever used a photo-transistor, But for more speed I'd want more light and less resistance... (reduce R2/ R3 maybe) A bigger supply voltage may help also.
