EEPROMSpeichermoduls

EEPROMSpeichermodul is a German term that translates to EEPROM memory module. EEPROM stands for Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. These are non-volatile memory devices, meaning they retain their data even when the power is turned off. EEPROMSpeichermoduls are used to store small amounts of data that need to be persistent, such as configuration settings, calibration data, or small lookup tables.

Unlike RAM (Random Access Memory), which is volatile and loses its data when power is removed, EEPROM is designed for long-term storage. The "Electrically Erasable" aspect means that the data can be erased and rewritten using electrical signals, without needing to remove the chip from its circuit or use ultraviolet light, which is required for older EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) types. Data is written and read in bytes or words.

EEPROMSpeichermoduls are commonly found in embedded systems, microcontrollers, and various electronic devices. They are suitable for applications where a small, non-volatile memory is required to store critical parameters that don't change frequently. Due to their limited write endurance (the number of times a memory cell can be erased and rewritten), they are not typically used for applications requiring frequent data logging or high-speed writing. Their primary advantage is their reliability and the ability to retain information across power cycles.
