Correct Answer - Option 4 : Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory

The Correct Answer is "Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory ".

  • The EEPROM also called the E2PROM.
  • It is a form of semiconductor memory chip that has been in use for many years.
  • The initials EEPROM stand for Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory and this gives an insight into its method of operation.
  • The EEPROM is a form of non-volatile memory where individual bytes of data can be erased and reprogrammed.

Development of the EEPROM :

  • EEPROM / E2PROM technology was one of the first forms of non-volatile semiconductor memory chips.
  • Its development came out of the standard EPROM technology that was widespread in the late 1970s and 1980s.
  • These EPROM memories could be programmed, typically with machine software, and then later erased by exposing the chip to UV light if the software needed to be changed.

  • In 1983, a development group at Intel under the leadership of George Perlegos developed a technology based on the existing EPROM technology.
  • With an addition to the existing EPROM structure, the new EEPROM memory could be erased and programmed electrically.
  • The first EEPROM device launched onto the market was the Intel 2816.
  • Later many of those with EEPROM development experience left Intel and set up a new company named Seeq Technology which developed and manufactured further EEPROM technology and other semiconductor memory devices.
