Basic Structure of a Programmable ROM (PROM)
The architecture of a programmable read only memory (PROM) allows the user to use the hardware in implementing an arbitrary combinational function of a given number of inputs. When utilized as a memory device, n inputs of the ROM (called address lines) and m outputs (called data lines) can be used to store 2nm-bit words.…
