4. 4 Non-Volatile Memory Technologies Mask (old)
Fuses (old)
Electrically erasable
5. 5 Mask ROMs Oldest technology
Originally “mask” used as last step in manufacturing
Specify metal layer (connections)
Used for volume applications
Long turnaround
Used for applications such as embedded systems and boot ROM
6. 6 Programmable ROM (PROM) First ones had fusible links
High voltage would blow out links
Fast to program
Single use
7. 7 UV EPROM Erasable PROM
Common technologies used UV light to erase complete device
Took about 10 minutes
Holds state as charge in very well insulated areas of the chip
Nonvolatile for several (10?) years
8. 8 EEPROM Electrically Erasable PROM
Similar technology to UV EPROM
Erased in blocks by higher voltage
Programming slower than reading
Some called flash memory
Digital cameras, MP3 players, BIOS
Limited life
Some support individual word write, some block
One on Xess board has 5 blocks
Has a boot block that is carefully protected
