Question

The full form of EEPROM is __________

(a) Erasable Electrically Programmable ROMs

(b) Electrically Erasable Programmable ROMs

(c) Electrically Erasable Programming ROMs

(d) Electrically Erasable Programmed ROMs

I got this question during an interview.

This key question is from Read Only Memory (ROM) in portion Memory Devices of Digital Circuits

Answer 1

Right option is (b) Electrically Erasable Programmable ROMs

Explanation: The full form of EEPROM is Electrically Erasable Programmable ROMs. In EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROMs), the ROM is cleared by exposing it to UV radiation and also it’s a tedious process. Whereas, in EEPROM, the ROM can be cleared electrically and thus is less time consuming and more efficient.
