  • Computer Memories
DEF

User-modifiable read-only memory (ROM) that can be erased and reprogrammed (written to) repeatedly through the application of higher than normal electrical voltage.

OBS

A special form of EEPROM is flash memory.

OBS

EEPROM takes more die area than flash memory for the same capacity because each cell usually needs both a read and a write transistor where flash memory needs only one.

OBS

E2PROM: The 2 can also be in superscript.
