The chip is made of gates who's write connections are severed by burning them with a voltage after writing.

What is PROM in a computer?
PROM stands for programable Read only memory. it is a nonvolatile memory.
What kind of computer is both static and nonvolatile?
Read-only memory (ROM)
What type of memory is data only written once?
PROM can only be programmed once
What kind of computer memory is both static and nonvolatile?
The Hard Disk installed in your computer is static and non volitile
What part of the computer cannot delete memory and is nonvolatile?
Generally, this is called ROM, or Read-Only Memory. Usually, such memory is used to store the BIOS, or Basic Input Output System.
What is the full form of ROM?
---ROM--- The full of ROM is read only memory. It is nonvolatile. Nonvolatile chips always hold the same data. It holds instructions that run the computer when the power is first turned on. On ROM contains a set of start-up instructions, which ensures that the rest of memory is functioning properly. callltb@yahoo.com
Is ROM a storage device?
ROM = Read Only Memory This is a permanent storage device, usually a chip or an optical disk. Depending on the device, it is written to once, and then is read-only There are some variations, including PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory) and EPROM (Erasable Programmable read only memory)
What type of memory does not have information written to it?
ROM, which is short for Read Only Memory, is a type of memory that cannot have information written to it.
What is a built in memory that can be read from but not written to?
(ROM) Read only memory. example boot manager.
What is memory reading?
Read Only Memory or ROM, is a type of memory that normally can only be read. As opposed to Random Access Memory or RAM, which can be both read and written.
Why rom is non volatile memory?
ROM is involatile because its name means Read Only Memory, hinting that the data stored on it cannot be altered. The word involatile means long term and not changeable.
What type of memory can hold data for long periods of time even when the computer is off?
Nonvolatile memory.For small amounts of memory a nonvolatile memory can be created by using conventional semiconductor CMOS static RAM ICs with battery backup (this is used in the CMOS memory on Windows computers and the PRAM on MacOs computers).For medium amounts of memory semiconductor NOVRAM ICs can be used, but they contains both SRAM and EEPROM in the same IC package and requires a "warning signal" from the power supply to copy the contents before power actually fails.For large amounts of memory magnetic memories are about the only way (e.g. ferrite magnetic core, Spin-Torque MRAM ICs, magnetic tunnel junction MRAM ICs).ROM and Flash memory are nonvolatile, but are too slow on writes for practical use.
