Pull Up Resistor of 2.2k Connects With the Collector Terminal

When you connect the Vin signal to a 1MHz signal, the Vout pin receives an inverted signal. Because, by default, 5 volts logic appears on the Vout terminal, and the ground signal appears on the Vout pin when the transistor is turned on. In summary, the Vout pin will produce an inverted output when compared to the input signal.
