PROM can only be programmed once
In what type of memory is data only written once?
A blank ROM (Read-Only Memory) that can be programmed once only is typically referred to as PROM (Programmable Read-Only Memory). Once programmed, the data is permanently written and cannot be altered or erased. It is often used in applications where data integrity is crucial and is designed for specific tasks that do not require updates. This makes PROM suitable for firmware storage and similar applications.
No, tablet computers store their data in Flash memory a type of electrically writable read only memory (a solid state replacement for harddisks with no moving parts to break). Flash requires no power to retain data, once that data has been written.
CD-rom stands for Compact Disc Read Only Memory. This type of CD is used to store data, and cannot be changed once it has been written to.
Short term memory is also called primary or active memory. This type of memory stores data only for a short period time and it can only be a small amount of information stored at once.
ROM means Read Only Memory. It contains data which should never be modified, such as BIOS.
Memory card encryption is used to translate data that is input on the card into a secret code. Once the data is encrypted, it can only be accessed through using a secret password.
No. A UMD uses Read-Only Memory (ROM), which cannot be overwritten.
ROM is Read Only Memory. Normally, data is fabricated into the ROM chips by the semiconductor manufacturer. Special mask(s) have to be made to store this data. Besides ROM chips there are PROM chips, where P stands for Programmable. In these chips, data can be stored by the end user. EPROM is Erasable PROM. A new type of ROM is OTP ROM (One Time Programmable).
Yes you can do both. RAM stands for random access memory, that that means you can read it or write to it at random. That is different from ROM in which it is only made to be read, but not written to.To be technical, the user doesn't exactly write to RAM, but the CPU and/or the DMA controller does. In assembly code, a programmer asks the CPU to move data from memory to the CPU, or from the CPU to memory.
Memory hardware that allows fast access to permanently stored data but prevents addition to or modification of the data.
