What is ROM ?
Read-only memory (ROM) is a type of storage medium
that permanently stores data on personal computers (PCs)
.and other electronic devices
It is type of internal memory.

The data and instructions in ROM are stored by the


manufacturer at the time of its manufacturing. This data and
programs cannot be changed or deleted after wars.
The data or instructions store in ROM can only be read but
new data or instructions cannot be written into it> This is the
reason why it is called Read only memory.
Why ROM non-volatile?

ROM stores data and instructions permanently.


When the power is turned off, the instructions stored in ROM
are not lost. That is the reason ROM is called non-volatile
memory.
Types of ROM
There are five basic ROM types:
ROM- Read Only Memory
PROM-Programmable Read Only Memory
EPROM-Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
EEPROM-Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
Flash EEPROM Memory
PROM
PROM stands for programmable Read Only Memory.

This from of ROM is initially blank. The user or manufacturer


can write data/program on it by using special devices.
However, once the program or data is written in PROM chip
cannot be changed.
If there is an error in writing instructions or data in PROM ,
the error cannot be erased be erased rather PRON chip becomes
unusable.
EPROM
EPROM stands for Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory.

This from of ROM is also initially blank.

The user or manufacturer can write program or data on it by using


special devices.
Unlike PROM , the data written in EPROM chip can be erased by
using special devices and ultraviolet rays.
New data can also be added.

When EPROM is in use, its contents can only be read.


EEPROM
EEPROM stands for Electrically Erasable Programmable Read
Only Memory.
This kind of ROM can be written or changed with the help of
electrical devices.
So data stored in this type of ROM chip can be easily
modified.
Flash Memory
Flash memory is an electronic non-volatile computer storage
medium that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed.
Introduced by Toshiba in 1984, flash memory was developed
from EEPROM ( Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only
Memory).
