IntroductionEEPROM is user-modifiable ROM that can be erased and reprogrammed repeatedly through the application of higher than normal electrical voltage. Unlike EPROM chips, EEPROMs do not need to be removed from the computer to be modified. However, an EEPROM chip has to be erased and reprogrammed in its entirety, not selectively. It also has a limited life - that is, the number of times it can be reprogrammed is limited to tens or hundreds of thousands of times. In an EEPROM that is frequently reprogrammed while the computer is in use, the life of the EEPROM can be an important design consideration. A special form of EEPROM is flash memory, which uses normal PC voltages for erasure and reprogramming.SolutionUsed for the storage of user parameters, software codeUsed in a broad spectrum of store personal preference dataFeatureLower pin count and smaller packagesLower voltages as well as lower power consumptionApplicationConsumer electronics and telecommunicationPC related marketsAutomotive, medical and industrial marketsCategorySerial EEPROMParallel EEPROM
