Here ya go found this on the internet for you: Acronym for erasable programmable read-only memory, and pronounced ee-prom, EPROM is a special type of memory that retains its contents until it is exposed to ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet light clears its contents, making it possible to reprogram the memory. To write to and erase an EPROM, you need a special device called a PROMprogrammer or PROM burner. An EPROM differs from a PROM in that a PROM can be written to only once and cannot be erased. EPROMs are used widely in personal computers because they enable the manufacturer to change the contents of the PROM before the computer is actually shipped. This means that bugs can be removed and new versions installed shortly before delivery.

What is the explanation for the four types of ROM?
ROM- read only memory.. types are masked rom, prom, eprom and eeprom.
The definition for ROM ram eprom eeprom?
ROM: Read Only Memory, Memory that can only be read, it cannot be rewritten. RAM: Random Access Memory, it's a kind of memory that can be read and rewritten many times, it loses its information when it loses power.
What are the kind of ROM?
ROM can be broadly of three types, namely PROM (programmable read only memory), EPROM (erasable PROM), and EEPROM (electrically EPROM). Many versions of EEPROMs are available.
Why eeprom is better than eprom?
The advantages were "accumulative", so a history of the development of ROM is best to explain them: First came ROM - Read-Only Memory. Unlike RAM, ROM could not be written to but had the advantage that it was non-volatile which means its contents are permanently there, they do not disappear when power is removed. But the contents were put there in the factory, you could not "program" the contents yourself. Then came PROM - Programmable ROM. With PROM you could, if you owned a programming machine or "programmer", set the contents of the PROM yourself, one time, before your put it in the electronic circuit board. Next came EPROM - Eraseable PROM - with EPROM if you needed too you could take the EPROM out of the circuit board, put it in an EPROM eraser to reset the contents, and then program it again in the programmer. The EPROM eraser was a small box that the EPROM was placed inside. When the box was turned on ultra-violet light shined into the EPROM thorough a small "window" on the top of each EPROM, erasing the contents. Finally came EEPROM or E2PROM - Electronically Erasable PROM. With EEPROM you didn't need the eraser or the programmer! The EEPROM can be programmed, again and again while it is on the circuit board, by sending a sequence of signals to certain pins on the device.
Which type of ram and rom is being used in Intel computer?
sram and eeprom
Is flash memory a RAM or ROM?
we can say its a kind of ROM... since flash memory is a specialised EEPROM...
What are examples of primary memory?
examples of primary memory are RAM, ROM, PROM, EPROM , etc.....
What type of memory that can be reprogrammed?
CMOS, EEPROM and EPROM
What are the 2 main types of ROM called?
PROM (programable read only memory) EPROM (eraseable programable read only memory) PROM (programable read only memory) EPROM (eraseable programable read only memory) PROM (programable read only memory) EPROM (eraseable programable read only memory) PROM (programable read only memory) EPROM (eraseable programable read only memory) PROM (programable read only memory) EPROM (eraseable programable read only memory) PROM (programable read only memory) EPROM (eraseable programable read only memory)
What is the classification of ROMs?
Rom :- Read Only Memory. The storage of data and instructions in Rom is permanent. It does not depend on the power supply. The memory which does not lose its content when power is turned off is known as non-volatile memory. There are three types of Rom :- Prom = Programmable read only memory Eprom= Erasable Prom EEprom=Electrically erasable prom
How is eprom erased?
EPROM is basicaaly of two types- EEPROM and UVEPROM. EEprom can be ereased by uising electrical pulses, whereas UVEPROM can be ereased by placing the IC in ultravoilet light for atleast 20 minutes.
Does n64 GoldenEye cartridge use sram or a eprom?
It does NOT use a Volatile(or battery-packed) save. I don't know whether it uses EEPROM or Flash Ram, but both will last forever.
