Test: ROM (Read Only Memory) - 1 - Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) MCQ

ROM (Read Only Memory) has the capability to store the information permanently. RAM provides random access to memory. Storage cells are responsible for the transfer of data from and into the memory.

ROM means “Read Only Memory”. Hence, it has capability to perform read operation only. No write or erase operation could be performed in the ROM. It has designed to provide the computer with resident programmes and for booting purpose.

In ROM, each bit combination that comes out of the output lines is called data word. Usually, a word consists of 16-bits or 2-bytes.

ROM means “Read Only Memory”. Hence, it has the capability to perform read operation only. No write or erase operation could be performed in the ROM.

ROM is a combination of different ICs. So, it is a combinational circuit. It depends on present input and not past states.

Volatile memory stores data as long as it is powered. ROMs are called non-volatile memory because of they do not lose memory when power is removed.

Hard disk is present inside a computer. So, it is not a removable drive.

Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) (ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 gates per IC) is a memory chip which is made up of NMOS, CMOS, BJT, and BiCMOS.
