th return ot the 'intellegent' EPROM ereaser,
my worried is that do we
_know_ that the rest of the chip (addresss decoder, sense amplifiers,
etc) will work correcting when irradiated with short-wavelength UV? In
other words is the readout of the chip even meaningful under such conditions?
Can I nip this one in the bud and state that I was thinking of some for of
intelligent programmer which turned the lamp off before doing a blank check?
But having said that, the comment made about heat from the lamp operation is a
good one - I suspect that would mean that there's a potential for damage if
the device was read without letting it cool properly first.
