electrically alterable read-only memory (s), EAROM (noun)
1. A read-only memory in which selected locations can be reprogrammed for a limited number of times by the application of an electric field; used on IBM computers.
2. A read-only memory which can be reprogrammed electrically in the electric field for a limited number of times, after the entire memory is erased by applying an appropriate electric field.
3. A kind of non-volatile memory used in computers and other electronic devices in order to store small amounts of data that must be saved when the electric power is removed; for example, calibration tables or device configurations.

electrically erasable programmable read-only memory, EEPROM
1. A method of storing data on microchips.
3. An integrated-circuit memory chip that has an internal switch to permit a user to erase the contents of the chip and to write new contents into it with electrical signals.
Usually bytes can be erased and reprogrammed individually.
RFID tags that use EEPROM are more expensive than factory programmed tags, where the number is written into the silicon when the chip is made, but they offer more flexibility because the end user can write an ID number to the tag at the time the tag is going to be used.
2. A form of read-only memory which can be electrically erased and reprogrammed.3. An integrated-circuit memory chip that has an internal switch to permit a user to erase the contents of the chip and to write new contents into it with electrical signals.

read range
1. The distance from which a reader can communicate with a tag.
2. The maximum rate at which data can be read from a tag expressed in bits per second.
Active tags have a longer read range than passive tags because they use a battery to transmit signals to the reader.
With passive tags, the read range is influenced by frequency, reader output power, antenna design, and method of powering up the tag. Low frequency tags use inductive coupling, which requires the tag to be within a few feet of the reader.

2. The maximum rate at which data can be read from a tag.

read-write tag
1. An RFID tag that can store new information on its microchip.
2. A tag that is reprogrammable.
These tags are often used on reusable containers and other assets.
When the contents of the container are changed, new information is written to the tag. Read-write tags are more expensive than read-only tags.
Information can be added or changed.
