EEPROM

EEPROM or Electrically Erasable memory was developed to allow the erasure of ROM chips on the fly. Sending a series of special electrical signals through the chip erases EEPROM chips. The EEPROM chip is often referred to as the CMOS BIOS chip in computers. The CMOS chip is constantly supplied with power by the CMOS battery. The CMOS chip is permanently embedded with information about the BIOS, but it also temporarily has the settings for BIOS stored on it.
