Intel Eraseable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM)

Erasable programmable read-only memory (commonly referred to by the acronym EPROM) offers developers and users of microprocessor-controlled devices options for customizing their equipment, turning somewhat away from the off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all ideal. Without the great expense of custom design and production, these chips also enable manufacturers to upgrade or debug electronic devices before shipping, without having to redesign and retool their assembly lines.
