Integrated circuits that store relatively small amounts of data but allow individual bytes to be electrically erased and reprogrammed
EEPROM stands for "electrically erasable programmable read-only memory." An EEPROM chip is used in computers and integrated into microcontrollers for remote keyless systems and smart cards as a non-volatile memoryFpo. EEPROMs can be erased and programmed in-circuit by applying special programming signals. An EEPROM memory chip has a limited life for erasing and reprogramming, now reaching a million operations. EEPROM ICs have memory sizes ranging from 128 bits to 4 Mbits and are available with parallel or serial (SPI, I2C, 1-Wire) interfaces. They're just one example of the many integrated circuits you can find using Octopart.
