  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 ...

    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 ...

  5. Field-programmable gate array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-programmable_gate_array

    The HDL form is more suited to work with large structures because it's possible to specify high-level functional behavior rather than drawing every piece by hand. However, schematic entry can allow for easier visualization of a design and its component modules. Using an electronic design automation tool, a technology-mapped netlist is generated.

  7. BIOS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS

    An extension ROM could in principle contain operating system, or it could implement an entirely different boot process such as network booting. Operation of an IBM-compatible computer system can be completely changed by removing or inserting an adapter card (or a ROM chip) that contains a BIOS extension ROM.

  8. I²C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I²C

    To read starting at a particular address in the EEPROM, a combined message is used. After a START, the controller first writes that chip's bus address with the direction bit clear (write) and then the two bytes of EEPROM data address. It then sends a (repeated) START and the EEPROM's bus address with the direction bit set (read). The EEPROM ...

  9. Firmware - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmware

    A computer's firmware may be manually updated by a user via a small utility program. In contrast, firmware in mass storage devices (hard-disk drives, optical disc drives, flash memory storage e.g. solid state drive) is less frequently updated, even when flash memory (rather than ROM, EEPROM) storage is used for the firmware.
