TYPES OF
ROM
11
1. PROM
When
14
2. EPROM
Read and written electrically.
Before a write operation, all the storage
cells must be erased to the same initial
state by exposure of the packaged chip to
ultraviolet radiation.
Can be altered multiple times
Non Volatile.
More expensive than PROM
Has the advantage of the multiple update
capability.
15
3. EEPROM
More commonly used.
Can be written into at any time without
erasing prior contents; only the byte or
bytes addressed are updated.
The write operation takes considerably
longer than the read operation.
Combines the advantage of non-volatility
with the flexibility of being updatable in
place, using ordinary bus control, address,
and data lines.
More expensive.
16Less dense, supporting fewer bits per chip.
