- Description (Brief)
- Intel 1103 1K Bit pMOS Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) chip. Marked on top: "i / D1103 / I3261100", on bottom: "i Philippines / B / 7928". Refreshing all 1024 bits is accomplished in 32 read cycles and is required every two milliseconds - a one-transistor DRAM. This is the chip that replaced hand-wound ferrite core memories. The first commercially available computer using the 1103 was the HP 9800 series.
