the abbreviation for MIPS in Programmable system on chip is MEGA INSTRUCTIONS PER SECOND........
The abbreviation EEPROM stands for erasable programmable read only memory. It is a memory chip that can be reprogrammed any number of times, as to correct bugs.
Its a programmable chip inside of the key .
The Intel 8259 is a programmable interrupt controller.
It stands for Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. It's basically a computer chip that can have information programmed onto it - which stays on the chip even when the power is turned off (unlike RAM which is erased when you turn the computer off) The EPROM can be re-programmed by erasing the current information and re-writing new information to it.
Hardware interrupts can be controlled by the 8259 Programmable Interrupt Controller
The 555 is not a sound chip, it is a general purpose programmable timer. As such, it is possible to program it to generate sounds or clock digital sound synthesizer chips.
A type of PROM (Programmable Read-Only Memory) called EPROM (Eraseable Programmable Read-Only Memory) is a chip that, after being programmed, can be exposed to strong ultraviolet light in order to erase it. They're recognized by the transparent window on the top surface through which you can see the silicon chip. It's through this window that UV enters to erase the chip.
To the best of my knowledge, they don't. Magnetic Resonance machines have traditionally used more or less "off the shelf" CPUs; Varian VXRs used to use Motorola 68000s, and ChemMagnetics had an instrument built around a MIPS chip. Neither of these were particularly "special" - the M68k was the same chip used in early Macintosh computers, and the MIPS was the heart of the old SGI workstations.
Motherboards are hardware components, not software.
An electronic programmable thermostat has a printed circuit board on which is mounted a chip one or more relays LCD display terminal strip sometimes a backup battery
The v-chip is intended to allow parents to block programs whose content ratings are deemed unacceptable
A: I think as times goes by names are being corrupted to Short hand. that is a memory chip or IC meaning rams proms chips RANDOM ACCESS and PROGRAMMABLE ONLY MEMORY
