EEPROM
- an overview of Electrically Erasable Programmable Random Access Memory,
EEPROM, a form of non-volatile memory used in processor applications where data
needs to be stored even when the power is removed.
This is an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only
Memory. Data can be written to it and it can be erased using an electrical
voltage. This is typically applied to an erase pin on the chip. Like other types
of PROM, EEPROM retains the contents of the memory even when the power is turned
off. Also like other types of ROM, EEPROM is not as fast as RAM.
