The GATE, CLK, and OUT signals for counters B1 and B2 are available at the I/O connector. In
addition, the GATE and CLK pins are pulled up to +5 V through a 4.7 kΩ resistor. The input
and output ratings and timing specifications for the 8253 signals are given next.
The following specifications and ratings apply to the 8253 I/O signals:
