EEPROM vs. flash: What’s the difference?

EEPROM and flash are both types of non-volatile memory, but they are designed for very different jobs. Matt Finio explains how EEPROM supports precise byte-level updates, while flash memory handles larger blocks of data at scale. Explore their differences in endurance, capacity, speed and cost, along with common applications in embedded systems, smartphones, SSDs, enterprise storage and AI infrastructure.
