-
(EEPROM) A non-volatile storage device using atechnique similar to the floating gates in EPROMs but withthe capability to discharge the floating gate electrically.Usually bytes or words can be erased and reprogrammedindividually during system operation.In contrast to RAM, writing takes much longer than readingand EEPROM is more expensive and less dense than RAM. It isappropriate for storing small amounts of data which is changedinfrequently, e.g. the hardware configuration of an AcornArchimedes.[Difference from EAPROM?]
