Subject field(s)
  • Computer Memories
DEF

A form of EEPROM [electrically erasable programmable read-only memory] that allows multiple memory locations to be erased or written in one programming operation.

OBS

Normal EEPROM only allows one location at a time to be erased or written, meaning that flash can operate at higher effective speeds when the systems using it read and write to different locations at the same time.

French

OBS

Pueden borrarse y reescribirse. Son una evolución de las memorias EEPROM que permiten que múltiples posiciones de memoria sean escritas o borradas en una misma operación mediante impulsos eléctricos. Por esta razón, [las memorias flash] funcionan a velocidades muy superiores cuando los sistemas emplean lectura y escritura al mismo tiempo.
