In which category of computer memory that a FLASH MEMORY belongs to?

The correct answer is EEPROM.

Key Points

• EEPROM stands for Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory.
• Flash memory is a type of EEPROM, but with faster erasure and write times.
• It is a non-volatile memory, meaning data is retained even when power is off.
• Flash memory is widely used in USB drives, SSDs, and memory cards.

Additional Information

• SRAM (Static Random Access Memory):
  • SRAM is a type of volatile memory that uses flip-flops to store each bit of data.
  • It is faster than DRAM but more expensive and consumes more power.
  • Commonly used in cache memory for CPUs.
• DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory):
  • DRAM is a type of volatile memory that stores data in capacitors.
  • It requires constant refreshing to retain the data.
  • It is cheaper and slower than SRAM, but it is widely used in main memory for computers.
• SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM):
  • SDRAM is a type of DRAM that synchronizes with the system clock for faster data access.
  • It is widely used in modern PCs and other devices.
• EEPROM:
  • EEPROM is a non-volatile memory that allows data to be erased and reprogrammed electrically.
  • It is slower than SRAM and DRAM but is used in applications requiring long-term data storage.
