ROM emulator


Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Legal.

ROM emulator

A circuit that helps debug a ROM chip by simulating the ROM in RAM memory. The RAM circuit plugs into the ROM socket, and since RAM can be rewritten, whereas ROM cannot, programming changes can be easily made and tested.
