Flash memory

Flash memory is a form of EEPROM that allows multiple memory locations to be erased or written in one programming operation. In layman's terms, it is a form of rewritable memory chip that, unlike a Random Access Memory chip, holds its content without the need of a power supply. It is also an example of a Non-Volatile Read Write Memory (NVRWM). The memory is commonly used in Memory cards, USB Flash drives, MP3 players, digital cameras and mobile phones.
