blow an EPROM blow an EPROM/bloh *n ee'prom/ (Or "blast", "burn") To program a read-only memory, e.g. for use with an embedded system. This termarose because the programming process for the Programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM) that preceded present-day Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM) involved intentionallyblowing tiny electrical fuses on the chip. The usage lives on(it's too vivid and expressive to discard) even though thewrite process on EPROMs is nondestructive. |
