Q

What is the name of the semiconductor IC that has a fixed pattern of digital data stored in its memory matrix?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Volatile vs non-volatile memory in digital electronics • What kind of memory keeps data even when power is turned off • Difference between main storage, temporary storage, and simple storage elements like latches and registers

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which of these options is normally used to store a fixed, unchanging pattern of bits that is built-in at manufacture or preset? • Which option is typically used so that data is not lost when power is removed and is often used to store firmware or lookup tables? • Which options in the list are usually used as working or temporary storage inside a processor rather than for permanent, fixed patterns?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which device is non-volatile (keeps data without power). • Eliminate any options that are mainly used for temporary or working memory inside a CPU. • Think about which one is designed so the stored pattern is not meant to be changed frequently, if at all.
