A flash drive is a storage device that uses flash memory rather than conventional spinning platters to store data.
Random access memory (RAM) is a type of computer data storage. Today it takes the form of integrated circuits that allow the stored data to be accessed in any order, i.e. at random. The word random thus refers to the fact that any piece of data can be returned in a constant time, regardless of its physical location and whether or not it is related to the previous piece of data.

the eraseing of data is done in accordance with clock pulse and it takes significant time to move from one pulse to the next and so the time taken to erase the data in case of eeprom is significantly high as compared to flash where data is allocated in different sector level and erasing data is also at that level,i.e. complete data of a sector is erased at a time.

What is flash or solid state storage?
A type of MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) capacitor based EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programable Read Only Memory) with very fast (aka flash) block erase capability. This very fast block erase capability facilitates its ability to emulate a harddisk, but without having any moving parts.
Is eeprom power ic?
Yes.... Electrically Erasable Programmable
How do you program the eeprom in pic16f877?
Part I1. Input data to a pin on the PIC16f877 Micro controller2. Take data from the pin and store it in a variable3. Write data from the variable to EEPROMPart II1. Send the saved data from EEPROM to a Pin for outputPart II1. Read the saved EEPROM data from partA in the debug window.malcolmX
What is the difference between open cup and closed cup flash point?
The fuel sample in the open cup is exposed to air,thereby decreasing it's vapor pressure when compared to the same in a closed cup.

What type of memory uses a flash memory?
AnswerFlash Memmory is a special type of EEPROM (Eletrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory)The difference between flash memory and EEPROM is that flash memory is block eraseable and EEPROM is byte-erasable.
What kind of data storage do Flash memory cards use?
AnswerFlash Memmory is a special type of EEPROM (Eletrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory)The difference between flash memory and EEPROM is that flash memory is block eraseable and EEPROM is byte-erasable.
What is EEPROM used for?
EEPROM is used in computers and other electronic devices to store small amounts of data when power is removed. EEPROM is also similar to flash memory however, the difference is that EEPROM requires data to be written or erased one byte at a time whereas flash memory allows data to be written or erased in blocks. This makes flash memory faster. EEPROM is used in computers and other electronic devices to store small amounts of data that must be saved when power is removed. EEPROMs are realized as arrays of floating-gate transistors.
EEPROM is also known as memory?
Flash Memory
What type of memory is Prom EEProm and flash memory?
RAM
How does a flashdrive work?
Flash drives and other forms of flash storage use a special form of PROM called EEPROM. By applying an electric charge to it, data can be written to EEPROM chips.
What is the difference between a eeprom and flash?
EEPROM is an older, more reliable technology. It is somewhat slower than Flash.Flash and EEPROM are very similar, but there is a subtle difference. Flash and EEPROM both use quantum cells to trap electons. Each cell represents one bit of data. The presence - or absence - of electons in a cell indicates whether the bit is a 1 or 0.The cells have a finite life - every time a cell is erased, it wears out a little bit. In EEPROM, cells are erased one-by-one. The only cells erased are those which are 1 but need to be zero. (Writing a 1 to a cell that's 0 causes very little wear, IIRC)In Flash, a large block is erased all at once. In some devices, this "block" is the entire device. So in Flash, cells are erased whether they need it or not. This cuts down on the lifespan of the device, but is much, much faster than the EEPROM method of going cell-by-cell.Erasure method: Both Flash and EEPROM erase cells by means of an electric field. I think it is high-frequency and "pops" the electrons out of the cells, but I am not certain.Other similar devices are EPROM (sometimes UVEPROM) and OTPROM (sometimes PROM). EPROM/UVEPROM lacks the structures that generate the electrical field for erasure. These devices have a window on top, usually covered by a paper sticker. To erase, the sticker is removed and the device is exposed to intense ultraviolet light for 30-45 minutes.The only difference between OTPROM and UVEPROM is that OTPROM lacks the UV window - there is no way to erase the data. Adding the UV window to the device package significantly increases cost, so there is a niche for one-time-programmable devices.
What is the full form of EEEPROM?
EEEPROM: Emulated EEPROM This is flash memory with a SW layer to give it EEPROM features such as high number of write cycles, auto-erase, single byte writes, etc.
Is flash memory a RAM or ROM?
we can say its a kind of ROM... since flash memory is a specialised EEPROM...
What is the difference between a USB Flash drive and a pen drive?
There is no difference. Flash drive, pen drive, and thumb drive are all interchangeable terms.
What is the difference between flash ram and flash rom?
Flash RAM is used for temporary data, such as in a USB drive. Flash ROM is used for bios and system files.
