Programmable Read Only Memory. In a computer, a permanent memory chip which can only be recorded on once, by the computer user, not the manufacturer, after which the data is stored and c [..]

"student formal dance in celebration of graduation," 1894, American English shortened form of promenade (n.). Prom dress attested from 1975.

Programmable Read-Only Memory. Firmware in which a chip has had a program "burned in" to its internal circuitry. The designation "EPROM" indicates that the program is Erasable.

Programmable Read-Only Memory - a type of non-volatile memory chip that may be programmed after the device is constructed.

music concerts where most of the audience is standing; U.S. prom = dance, semi-formal, especially at end of year in high schools, colleges

programmable read only memory.

Acronym for programmable read-only memory.

Internet Glossary Pronounced prom, an acronym for programmable read-only memory. A PROM is a memory chip on which data can be written only once. Once a program has been written onto a PROM, it remains there forever. Unlike RAM, PROMs retain their contents when the computer is turned off. The difference between a PROM and a ROM (read-only memory) is [..]

1. An acronym for Programmable Read-Only Memory. A type of read-only memory (ROM) that allows data to be written into the device with hardware called a PROM programmer, often termed a burner. After a PROM has been programmed, it is dedicated to that data, and it cannot be reprogrammed. PROMs are part of the PLD family of chips. 2. A wonderful socia [..]

From "promenade"

(n) a formal ball held for a school class toward the end of the academic year

PROM can only be programmed one time and can never be erased. PROM is programmed with a special PROM burner, (also known as a PROM programmer). Unlike ROM that comes preprogrammed, PROM is completely [..]

A chip that acts like non-volatile memory and is difficult to re-program.

Programmable read-only memory is a semiconductor's memory device that provides read access only to its memory content. Other versions include UV PROM (Ultraviolet), which can be erased with UV li [..]

Spontaneous tearing of the Membranes surrounding the Fetus any Time before the onset of Obstetric Labor. Preterm PROM is Membrane Rupture before 37 weeks of Gestation.

Programmable Read Only Memory is a type of non-volatile memory that can only be written to once but read many times. Unlike ROM memory this comes from the factory blank so that the user can burn the c [..]

Programmable ROM. This memory type can be written once, then it behaves like a ROM. Series designator: 25xx, where xx is the number of kbits stored.

A ROM that can be programmed by the user. It cannot be reprogrammed.
