|

<span class="firstterm">burn an EPROM</span>) To program a read-only
|
|||
|
|
memory, e.g.: for use with an embedded system. This term arose because the
|
|||
|
|
programming process for the Programmable Read-Only Memories (PROMs) that
|
|||
|
|
preceded present-day Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memories (EPROMs)
|
|||
|
|
involved intentionally blowing tiny electrical fuses on the chip. The
|
|||
|
|
usage lives on (it's too vivid and expressive to discard) even though the
|
|||
|
|
write process on EPROMs is nondestructive.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="blogrolling.html">Prev</a><EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../B.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"><EFBFBD><a accesskey="n" href="blow-away.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">blogrolling<EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"><EFBFBD>blow away</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
