-
(FEPROM, "flash memory") A kind of non-volatilestorage device similar to EEPROM, but where erasing canonly be done in blocks or the entire chip.In 1995 this relatively new technology started to replaceEPROMs because reprogramming could be done with the chipinstalled. At that time FEPROMs could be rewritten about 1000times.Like EAPROM and ferro-magnetic material, FEPROMs rely on FNtunnelling. Some flash memory supports block erase.
