#159133 - An EEPROM is an EPROM
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Christoph Franck said:
It's an EEPROM, not an EPROM.

EEPROM is just a type of EPROM - the type where the erasing is done Electrically (as opposed to erasing by UV light, for instance)

"EPROM" is the more general term; without further qualification, it just means any type of Eraseable Programmable Read-Only Memory

Two specific types of EPROM are:

  • UVEPROM - where the erase is done by UV light;

  • EEPROM - where the erase is done Electrically

    Note that "Flash" is a specific type of electrical erasure technology

    Note also that "EEPROM" is sometimes used idiomatically to indicate a device specifically designed for data storage - as opposed to code storage...

    MOVX doesn't work for writing.            01/01/70 00:00      
       It's a read-only memory            01/01/70 00:00      
          EEPROM            01/01/70 00:00      
             RAM-EPROM            01/01/70 00:00      
                That wouldn't be an EEPROM.            01/01/70 00:00      
                Look at Ferro-electric memory            01/01/70 00:00      
             Not wrong.            01/01/70 00:00      
                An EEPROM is an EPROM            01/01/70 00:00      
                   Technically, but not in common usage of the term.            01/01/70 00:00      
                      Common use != Definition            01/01/70 00:00      
                   Not quite ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                      No, it's not            01/01/70 00:00      
                      A datasheet that actually calls it a "UVEPROM"            01/01/70 00:00      
                         OK ... I stand corrected ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                            A link with EPROM <= EEPROM            01/01/70 00:00      
                            Not that generic!            01/01/70 00:00      
                               Magnetic core memory            01/01/70 00:00      
                               it is SERIAL EEPROM            01/01/70 00:00      
                                  UVEPROM?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                     I think a part number would be the solution            01/01/70 00:00      
                                        Symmetric speed too.            01/01/70 00:00      
                               ta paidia paizei !!!            01/01/70 00:00      
                EEPROM implies EPROM            01/01/70 00:00      
                   Today, it's the other way round.            01/01/70 00:00      
                      assumption < implication            01/01/70 00:00      
                      You missed the point!            01/01/70 00:00      
                         As one of my old tutors used to say...            01/01/70 00:00      
             Let's not confuse things further            01/01/70 00:00      
                You have also missed the point            01/01/70 00:00      
          Or...            01/01/70 00:00      
       Some Kind Like....            01/01/70 00:00      
          Non-Volatile Memory            01/01/70 00:00      
             or maybe the AT28C64B will work            01/01/70 00:00      
          You mean you want an NVRAM?            01/01/70 00:00      
       write eeprom            01/01/70 00:00      
          that may not be the problem            01/01/70 00:00      
             EPROM has special write-procedures            01/01/70 00:00      
       Check the write waveform timings!!!!!            01/01/70 00:00      
          How?            01/01/70 00:00      
             Source code to simulate MOVX...            01/01/70 00:00      
             Start with the datasheet ...            01/01/70 00:00
