<p>the first EPROM devices were intended to be erased using X-rays, but ultraviolet light turned out to be a more practical method (X-rays can damage chips).</p>

<p>here are four EPROM cells. the critical element is a transistor (circled) that has a floating gate -- a control electrode with no external connection! modern flash memories also use floating gates, but the construction is quite different.</p>

<p>here&#39;s the structure. the top half of the image is the address decoder and the bottom half is the array of EPROM cells.</p>

<p>the 1702A is quite old as you can see by the copyright on the die. (the 1602A is the non-windowed version of the part, which is identical except for the package)</p>

<p>lmao</p>
