■ Precautions for Use

( 1 ) This device is designed to be used under the condition of IF = 20mA
( 2 ) It is recommended that a by-pass capacitor of more than 0.01µF be added
between V CC and GND near the device in order to stabilize power supply line.
( 3 ) As for other general cautions, refer to the chapter “ Precautions for Use” .
