EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) is a type of non-volatile memory IC designed to store digital data without requiring continuous power. It is programmed electrically and can be erased and reprogrammed, enabling updates to the stored contents when needed.

EPROM devices retain information as fixed memory data between programming cycles and are commonly used where stable, long-term data storage is required within electronic systems.

• Non-volatile memory: Preserves stored data when power is removed.
• Reprogrammable: Supports multiple program/erase cycles.
• Read-oriented operation: Intended primarily for data retrieval during normal use.
