Question

What is the full form of EEPROM?

(a) Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory

(b) Electrically Encoded Programmable Read Only Memory

(c) Electronic Embedded Programmable Read Only Memory

(d) Encrypted Electronic Programmable Read Only Memory

I got this question in a job interview.

The doubt is from Board Hardware Specifications in section Board Specifications and Types of Arduino

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory

The best explanation: EEPROM is a type of non-volatile memory which can be programmed and erased by voltage pulses as input. It’s used to handle small amounts of data. Originally EEPROMs supported only small amounts of data handling limited to 1 Byte. But however, nowadays EEPROMs can support page operations of many bytes.
