Everything about Programmable ROM

Write once computer memory

A programmable read-only memory (PROM) is a form of digital memory where the contents are set after the device is manufactured. Once set, the contents are then permanent. A PROM is one type of read-only memory (ROM). PROMs are usually used in digital electronic devices to store low level programs such as firmware or microcode. PROMs may be used during development of a system that will ultimately be converted to ROMs in a mass-produced version. These types of memories are used in microcontrollers, video game consoles, mobile phones, radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags, implantable medical devices, high-definition multimedia interfaces (HDMI), and in many other consumer and automotive products.
