  EEPROM Definition: TechEncyclopedia from TechWeb
EEPROMs use a transistor with a floating gate underneath a control gate.
EEPROMs have a lifespan of between 10K and 100K write cycles, which is considerably greater than the EPROMs (single "E") that preceded them.
A single EEPROM bit is made up of two transistors: the MOS transistor for erasure and the floating gate transistor for storage.

  EEPROM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Serial EEPROMs come in a range of capacities from a few bytes to over 128 kilobytes and are typically used to store configuration parameters, and in modern computers they replace the hitherto CMOS nonvolatile BIOS memory.
Also, RAM is generally a lot faster to write than EEPROM (typically a few nanoseconds as opposed to a few microseconds), and most types of RAM are volatile (they lose their contents when power is removed).
EEPROM takes more die area than flash memory for the same capacity because each cell usually needs both a read, write and erase transistor where in flash memory the erase circuits are shared by blocks of many (often 512×8) cells.

 What is EEPROM? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
EEPROM is a special type of PROM that can be erased by exposing it to an electrical charge.
EEPROM is similar to flash memory (sometimes called flash EEPROM).
The principal difference is that EEPROM requires data to be written or erased one byte at a time whereas flash memory allows data to be written or erased in blocks.

 Howstuffworks "How ROM Works"
EEPROMs are changed 1 byte at a time, which makes them versatile but slow.
In fact, EEPROM chips are too slow to use in many products that make quick changes to the data stored on the chip.
Manufacturers responded to this limitation with Flash memory, a type of EEPROM that uses in-circuit wiring to erase by applying an electrical field to the entire chip or to predetermined sections of the chip called blocks.

 EEPROM - Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
EEPROMs differ from DRAMs in that the memory stays in even if electrical power is lost.
EEPROM can be erased and reprogrammed within the computer or externally.
EEPROM is frequently used for system-board BIOSes so that a computer's BIOS can be updated just like a piece of software.

 Serial EEPROM
Of particular interest to us are the EEPROM Array, which is the actual EEPROM memory cells, the Status Register, which is a register that holds configuration and status information, and of course the Page Latches, which are the temporary 'holding' areas for data being written.
EEPROM is not a substitute for general purpose RAM.
The basic operation of the SPI based EEPROM's is to lower the CS line, send a command, such as WRITE, followed by an address and the data, then raise the CS line.

Unlike EPROM chips, EEPROMs do not need to be removed from the computer to be modified.
In an EEPROM that is frequently reprogrammed while the computer is in use, the life of the EEPROM can be an important design consideration.
A special form of EEPROM is flash memory, which uses normal PC voltages for erasure and reprogramming.

 Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ: RCA/GE TV (CTC175-187+) Solder Connection and EEPROM Problems
In many cases, while the contents of the EEPROM have been corrupted by write errors caused by bad solder connections, the actual chip is undamaged and really does not need to be replaced.
If the rest of the EEPROM data is OK or can be corrected by the on screen menu then this procedure will save the replacement cost of the EEPROM (less than $5.00 wholesale) and the tedious job of performing about 100 alignments to the tuning system which is *REQUIRED* after EEPROM replacement.
The trick is that some of the values in the EEPROM are sent to the micro when the set is plugged in, and others when the set is turned on.

Data may later be retrieved from EEPROM and written to the data buffer for either display or serial transfer to a PC.
A sequential write is the same command sequence as a write, except that after sending the EEPROM high and low addresses, the data bytes are send in sequence with a nack after each byte.

Then we move the address to the data pointer, move the data value to the accumulator (A) and write to the EEPROM using the MOVX command.

 ST | Memory Chip Combines FLASH and EEPROM | P340M
SGS-THOMSON, the world's number one supplier of EEPROM memories, has announced the availability of the M39432, a product that combines a 4Mbit FLASH memory and a 256Kbit parallel EEPROM memory on the same chip.
Because both memory functions are implemented in the same technology, much of the support circuitry that would be duplicated in discrete flash and EEPROM devices, including charge pumps for on-chip generation of the programming voltage, address logic, state machine and I/O buffers, is shared.
Because the EEPROM block manages its write cycle internally once the host controller has issued the Program command, the host controller can read the flash memory while an EEPROM write cycle is in progress.

 Parallel Port - Programming Serial EEPROM 93C56
The ne xt two, three or four bits are used by the EEPROM to determine the nature of the operation.
For commands involving either an erase or a write, the CS is brought momentarily low and the EEPROM output DO is monitored until it assumes a logic one, indicating the EEPROM has completed the operation.
This might be useful in interfacing with a STAMP or similar, in applications where messages are displayed either on a terminal or on an LCD display.

During the write, the only times where the programming program gives up the CPU is when it is waiting for the EEPROM write cycle to complete (minimum of 5ms, but the Linux scheduler has to give something else a minimum 10ms, so we always wait that long).

In reading from the serial EEPROM, the SDA lead is brought high by the PC and the state appearing on the /STROBE lead is read using the inportb instruction.
Writing data to the EEPROM consists of sending the command byte, followed by the high byte of the address, the low byte of the addresss and finally the data.
At the conclusion, the EEPROM may take some time to program the data and in function write_random_data, the EEPROM is polled up to ten times for an acknowledgement.
