• Microprogramming
• Library subroutines for frequently wanted functions
• System programs

II.EPROM, EEPROM, Flash memory
EPROM(Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory): is erasable programmable memory. It
is read only but can be erased with ultraviolet light, allowing the memory to then
be rewritten.
EEPROM(Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) is like EPROM, but can
be erased with an electrical charge, it can also be written into without erasing
prior contents, with only the byte or bytes addressed being updated, more expensive
than EPROM.
Flash memory is the intermediate between EPROM and EEPROM. It is electronically
erasable like EEPROM, and allows for blocks of memory to be erased, not just the
entire chip, though it cannot be erased at the byte level
