Examples of eprom
eprom
An OTP is electrically an EPROM, but with the quartz window physically missing.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Erasing the EPROM required exposure to ultraviolet light through a transparent quartz lid.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The memory storage was based on earlier EPROM and EEPROM technologies.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The SOL-20 had built-in EPROM software which eliminated the need for rows of switches and lights.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Other devices such as EPROM programmers and hardware controllers could be connected via the parallel port.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Intel invented the DRAM and EPROM nonvolatile memory but got out of each in the Japan, Inc. period.

In 1981, Epson offered a retrofit EPROM kit called GrafTrax to add the capability to many early MX series printers.
From the en.wikipedia.org
They are also used in some EPROM erasers.
From the en.wikipedia.org
For specialized applications, alternative character sets could be programmed into an EPROM inserted in the character set ROM socket.

- Erasable programmable read-only memory: (computer science) a read-only memory chip that can be erased by ultraviolet light and programmed again with new data
- Erasable and programmable read only memory. An electronic chip used in many different security products that stores software instructions for performing various operations.
- (n.) Electronically programmable ROM; a memory whose contents can be changed using special hardware. This usually involves removing the chips from their environment in order to "burn" a new pattern into them.
- Pronounced "ee-prom." Read-Only Memory (ROM) that can be erased by high-intensity ultraviolet (UV) light and then rewritten, or "reprogrammed." EPROM chips normally contain UV-permeable quartz windows to permit exposure for erasing the program that also exposes the chips' internals. ...
- A type of chip with a special window that allows the current memory content to be erased with special ultraviolet light so that the chip can be reprogrammed. Many BIOS chips are EPROMs.
- An EPROM is a special type of PROM that can be erased by exposing it to ultraviolet light.
- This sounds like a contradiction in terms as ROMs are Read only Memory that by definition cannot be erased by switching off the current. However, EPROM acts as ROM unless special action is taken. An EPROM contains charge in a transistor gate that holds it for up to 10 years. ...
- Acronym for "Exit Program, Read Owners manual".
- A non-volatile memory chip used in the system which contains all instructions and operates the system. EPROMs retain all information without the need for backup power.
