Memory technologies: Identify the EEPROM family device. Which of the following is a type or example of Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM)? Choose the correct option.

Difficulty: Easy

PROM
EPROM (UV-erasable)
EEPROM
Static RAM
Flash memory

Correct Answer: EEPROM

Explanation:

Given
Asked: a type of Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory.

Concept/Approach

PROM: one-time programmable, not erasable.
EPROM: erasable with UV light, not electrically.
EEPROM: erasable and programmable electrically, cell-by-cell or in blocks.
Flash memory: a high-density block-erasable form of EEPROM.

Final Answer
EEPROM. (Note: Flash is a specialized EEPROM variant.)
