EEPROM is short for Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. It is a non-volatile memory used in devices that are required to hold small amounts of data within a circuit in a compact package. Non-volatile data is able to be erased and reprogrammed.

The read-only memory or ROM can be erased and reprogrammed through the application of electrical voltages. EEPROM chips can be modified whilst still in a computer system and their non-volatile functionality means the memory can be retrieved even after the device or computer has been turned off and back on again.

### Where is EEPROM memory used?

EEPROM devices are found in computers, microcontrollers and remote keyless systems to name a few. [Flash Memory](https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/semiconductors/memory-chips/flash-memory) is another type of EEPROM which is commonly used in applications such as USB sticks.

### EEPROM Interface Types:
- **Serial** EEPROM ICs use interfaces such as SPI or I2C. They often feature lower current consumption and voltage. They are also often smaller as can utilise packages with 8 pins or less.
- **Parallel** EEPROM ICs offer better memory density and AC performance. It is often quicker than EEPROM but usually has a higher number of pins.

### Benefits to EEPROM Memory

There are many benefits to using EEPROM memory in a computer or electronic device. The ability to erase the entire contents of an EEPROM chip as well as being able to erase single bytes per section is invaluable. As well, a variety of interfaces are available for EEPROM with both serial and parallel buses. Programming capabilities of EEPROM are easy and efficient while being programmable without removing from a device board or testing set up.
