1.1 General
The Toshiba T2000SXe is one of the lightest and most advanced portable computers available
offering high technology, high speed, excellent legibility, IBM PC/AT compatibility, and battery
operation.
The T2000SXe is one of a new class of portables called notebook computers, the lightest portable
computers available.
The T2000SXe system unit has the following features:
❑The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is an 80386SX-20 32-bit microprocessor, operating at
20MHz.
❑The standard Random Access Memory (RAM) capacity is 2MB. With 2MB, 4MB, or 8MB
expansion memory cards, the T2000SXe system can have a maximum of 10MB of RAM.
❑An 80387SX-20 Numeric Data Processor (NDP) can be installed.
❑The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) supports 640x480 pixels with Video Graphics Array
(VGA) compatibility and 16 levels of gray.
❑The display controller supports VGA functions through the High Resolution Graphics
Subsystem (HRGS).
❑The 3.5-inch Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) supports two memory formats:
•1.44MB double-sided, high-density, double-track (2HD)
•720KB double-sided, double-density, double-track (2DD)
❑The 2.5-inch Hard Disk Drive (HDD) has either a 40MB or 60MB capacity.
❑The keyboard is an 86/88-key keyboard that is fully compatible with the IBM standard 101/
102-key keyboard.
❑The universal auto-sensing AC adapter can be used in a range from 100 to 240 volts AC.
❑A built-in modem slot is available for an optional built-in modem.
❑A parallel port, serial port, RGB port, numeric keypad port, and expansion bus connector
are provided to allow the T2000SXe to interface with a variety of optional equipment.
❑The T2000SXe supports the Toshiba AutoResume feature, storing the data and configura-
tion information when the power is turned off.
❑The Real Time Clock (RTC) continuously stores the date and time even when the power is
turned off.

1-8
The system board in the T2000SXe is composed of the following major components:
❑Central Processing Unit (CPU): 80386SX-20
The CPU is a 32-bit microprocessor operating at 20MHz (fast mode) and 10MHz (slow
mode) clock speeds.
❑Numeric Data Processor (NDP) socket for the 80387SX-20 (optional)
❑Super Integration (SI): T9778A
The SI stores the following components:
· Two Direct Memory Access Controllers (DMACs): 82C37A
· Two Programmable Interrupt Controllers (PICs): 82C59A
· One Programmable Interval Timer (PIT): 82C54
· One Floppy Disk Controller (FDC): TC8565
· One Serial Input/Output Controller (SIO): TC8570
❑Variable Frequency Oscillator (VFO): TC8568AM
The VFO chip is used for Floppy Disk Drive control logic.
❑Real Time Clock (RTC): 146818AF
The RTC chip stores the date, time, and system configuration with power supplied from the
RTC battery.
❑Keyboard Interface Controller (KBIC): 80C42
❑Keyboard Scan Controller (KBSC): 80C50
❑Power Supply Controller (PSC): U47C440
❑Memory:
Standard RAM: 2MB
Backup RAM: 32KB
BIOS ROM: 128KB (96KB are used)
BIOS ROM also contains the Initial Reliability Test (IRT), the system’s Basic Input/
Output System (BIOS), and the video BIOS.
Video RAM: 256KB
Optional memory cards:
The system can have up to 10MB of RAM by installing an optional memory card.
❑Gate arrays:
System control gate array: GA-SCNT2 (208-pin)
I/O control gate array: GA-IO CNT (176-pin)
VGA display controller: PVGA1F (132-pin)

1-9
❑Oscillators (OSC):
14.7456MHz OSC (X1) is used for the SIO.
14.31818MHz OSC (X2) is used for the KBC.
44.9MHz OSC (X3), 28.322MHz OSC (X5), and 25.175MHz OSC (X6) are used for the
video.
40.0MHz OSC (X4) is used for the CPU.
24MHz OSC (X7) is used for the VFO.
32.768KHz OSC (X8) is used for the RTC.
500KHz OSC (X701) is used for the PSC.
See Appendix A for the location of the OSCs.
