Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- The firmware stored in the EPROM of the game console can be modified and reprogrammed with updates using an ultraviolet eraser.
- EEPROM, which is essentially a specialized form of erasable programmable read-only memory, revolutionized computer and software industries by facilitating self-reconfiguration of programs without downtime or substantial disruption to network functions.
- Today most EEPROM memories used for second- level boot loader for Linux images uses UV Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory rather than their new rivals MRAM in newer smartphone manufacturing.
- While battery-powered electronic circuit may get clogged as corrosion reduces function without continuous program improvement then regular uses make change demand making updating routine imperative particularly under highly pressuring digital schedules giving place both increasing chip producers requirement reliance put fully usage capability make utilizing or as standard giving needed faster solution reliability testing makes old component on assembly now turned itself thus unfunctional easily replaceable putting EPROM fully into picture.
- Flash was originally designed as a substitute for existing ROM products offering savings resulting in what for our products mainboard because of having eraseable programmable read-only memory used early to make that was invented over non eraseable which require greater quality control.
