MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

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: -EEPROM can be programmed and erased electrically using field electron emission (more commonly known in the industry as “Fowler–Nordheim tunneling"). EPROMs can’t be erased electrically and are programmed by hot-carrier injection onto the floating gate.

Detailed explanation-3: -EPROMs are erased with ultraviolet light. The capabilities of EPROMs were extended with EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory); flash memory, which is extensively used in computers in the early 21st century, is an EEPROM.

Detailed explanation-4: -To write to and erase an EPROM, you need a special device called a PROM programmer or PROM burner. An EPROM differs from a PROM in that a PROM can be written to only once and cannot be erased.

Detailed explanation-5: -Flash memory is an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory).
