Figure 2.5.3.2 shows the TOUT block diagram. Here, the output is only
active when an interrupt on level 4 has been acknowledged by the I/O
controller or a previously set timer has decremented to 0. The driving stage
of the output consists of a Darlington connected transistor pair protected
from inductive loads by a clamp diode. This TOUT line can generate square-
wave pulses from 0.2ms to 178ms and can deliver 500mA continuously at
24V DC. The maximum frequency of TOUT is 5kHz.
