EEPROM

EEPROM stands for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory. It is a type of non-volatile memory that can be electronically erased and reprogrammed. EEPROM is a type of memory that is used in many electronic devices, such as computers, smartphones, and other types of consumer electronics. EEPROM is similar to other types of non-volatile memory, such as flash memory, but it has the added ability to be erased and reprogrammed on a byte-by-byte basis. This makes EEPROM an attractive option for applications where the data stored in the memory needs to be updated or changed frequently. EEPROM is commonly used in applications where the data stored in the memory is not critical, such as storing user settings or preferences in a device. However, because EEPROM can be erased and reprogrammed, it is not suitable for applications where the data needs to be preserved, such as storing important information or data that cannot be lost.
