| - | PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory) is the kind of memory that can be programmed by the user but can't be reprogrammed further. It is sometimes called OTP - One Time Programming. Some microcontrollers implement such a memory, but due to the inability of software updates, it is a choice for simple devices with a short product lifetime. OTP technology is used in some protection mechanisms to prevent unauthorised changes to software or reconfiguration of the device. | + | PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory) is the kind of memory that can be programmed by the user but can't be reprogrammed further.
