generate the gate signal in this application. If you use a second counter,
however, you must externally invert the signal.
Figure 3-15. Frequency Measurement Application
The GATE, CLK, and OUT signals for counters B1 and B2 are available at
the I/O connector. The GATE and CLK pins are internally pulled up to +5 V
through a 100 k
Ω resistor. Refer to Appendix A,
Specifications , for signal
voltage and current specifications.
The following specifications and ratings apply to the 82C53 I/O signals:
• Absolute max –0.5 to +5.5 V
