Memory and Storage - Technical MCQs

Q1:

Erasing or programming a flash memory device is a one-step operation.

A True

B False

ANS:B - False

No it's not one step operation because Although flash memory is technically a type of EEPROM, the term "EEPROM" is generally used to refer specifically to non-flash EEPROM which is erasable in small blocks, typically bytes. [citation needed] Because erase cycles are slow, the large block sizes used in flash memory erasing give it a significant speed advantage over non-flash EEPROM when writing large amounts of data.
