COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) is a user-modifiable ROM. It can be erased and reprogrammed (written to) repeatedly by applying an electrical voltage that is higher than normal.

Detailed explanation-2: -Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) is a programmable ROM that allows the stored data to be erased electrically. Key PointsEEPROM: EEPROM is the short form for Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. It is similar to EPROM and thus developed to overcome the drawbacks of EPROMs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The data can be erased and the chip reprogrammed by shining an intense ultraviolet (UV) light through a window designed into the memory chip. This process is known as burning and requires a specific device called a PROM programmer, which is plugged in to an EPROM burner.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM) is a data circuit that retains its memory even when power is off. Security system manufacturers use EPROMs to hold both the operating system and the program for the access control panel.
