EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory)

EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) is a type of non-volatile storage used in electronic devices to save data even when powered off. Unlike regular memory that loses data when power is removed, EEPROM can be written to, erased, and rewritten multiple times using electrical signals. This makes it ideal for storing small amounts of important information, such as device settings or firmware updates. EEPROM is commonly found in computers, microcontrollers, and various electronic gadgets, providing a reliable way to retain data over the long term without frequent replacement or rewiring.
