Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory, is written also with E2PROM

EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory, is written also with E2PROM) is a not-erased memory chips used in computers and other electronic equipment to store some configuration data in electronic devices and equipment must be maintained despite the resources it was decided, such as tables calibration or kofigurasi device.

EEPROM further development to produce a more specific form, such as flash memory (flash memory). Flash memory is more economical than traditional EEPROM devices, which is widely used in the hardware is capable of storing more static data (such as USB flash drives).

The major advantage of the EEPROM than the EPROM is that it can be electrically erased using ultraviolet light so that the process faster. If the RAM does not have limits in terms of read-write memory, the EEPROM on the contrary. Some of the first type of EEPROM output can only be erased and rewritten (erase-rewrite) as much as 100 times while the latest models can be up to 100,000 times.
