The I/O board contains 6 type 74HC digital
outputs
, each having the capacity to drive one
standard TTL load. The approximate time constant of the outputs are 2.5 microseconds. Each
output includes a 240 ohms series resistor to protect it against line surges and spikes.
Additionally, there is a 0.01 µFD capacitor connected to the chassis.
