EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) is user-modifiable read-only memory (ROM) that can be erased and reprogrammed (written to) 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.

What is a EEPROM chip?

EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) is user-modifiable read-only memory (ROM) that allow users to erase and reprogram stored data repeatedly in an application. In contrast to EPROM chips, EEPROM memory does not need to be removed from the computer in order to modify the data.

What is EEPROM in computer terms?

(Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) A rewritable storage chip that holds its content without power. EEPROMs are byte addressable but must be erased before being rewritten.
