Working Principles

The NM27C256VE200 is based on EEPROM technology, which allows for electrically erasing and reprogramming the memory cells. It uses a combination of floating gate transistors and control circuitry to store and retrieve data. The programming and erasing operations are performed by applying specific voltage levels to the appropriate pins.
