Regitz's Influence on the Computer and Memory Industry
Bill Regitz started working at Bell Telephone labs right after completing his college degree. He was immediately assigned to work on memory systems with many other fantastic engineers. The first project that he worked on ESS101 time division switching system. His department developed the temporary memories that allowed multiple people on the same line have private lines.
After joining Honeywell, Regitz worked on a team that developed the 1102 and eventually the 1103 MOS DRAM was produced by Intel. The 1103 was a joint effort between Honeywell and Intel. The 1103 was the first DRAM to be available commercially to the public. Bill had initially proposed using a three-transistor cell during development which allowed the 1103 to work faster as well as cheaper to produce. The technology quickly became the main memory in many computer systems. Regitz also personally designed a 1103A model which was an upgraded version of the original 1103 design.
After the development of the 1103 DRAM, Regitz began working at Intel where he led the development of the 2105 4K DRAM. Regitz spent his time at Intel working with memory systems on several teams to develop faster or more powerful products.
