  2. EEPROM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EEPROM

    In an EEPROM that is frequently reprogrammed, the life of the EEPROM is an important design consideration. Flash memory is a type of EEPROM designed for high speed and high density, at the expense of large erase blocks (typically 512 bytes or larger) and limited number of write cycles (often 10,000). There is no clear boundary dividing the two ...

  3. EPROM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eprom

    However, OTP EPROM (whether separate or part of a larger chip) is being increasingly replaced by EEPROM for small sizes, where the cell cost isn't too important, and flash for larger sizes. A programmed EPROM retains its data for a minimum of ten to twenty years, [ 9 ] with many still retaining data after 35 or more years, and can be read an ...

    Also simply application or app. Computer software designed to perform a group of coordinated functions, tasks, or activities for the benefit of the user. Common examples of applications include word processors, spreadsheets, accounting applications, web browsers, media players, aeronautical flight simulators, console games, and photo editors. This contrasts with system software, which is ...

  8. Semiconductor memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_memory

    EEPROM (Electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) – In this type the data can be rewritten electrically, while the chip is on the circuit board, but the writing process is slow. This type is used to hold firmware , the low level microcode which runs hardware devices, such as the BIOS program in most computers, so that it can be ...

  9. BIOS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS

    In later computer systems, the BIOS contents are stored on flash memory so it can be rewritten without removing the chip from the motherboard. This allows easy, end-user updates to the BIOS firmware so new features can be added or bugs can be fixed, but it also creates a possibility for the computer to become infected with BIOS rootkits.
