7.8 FUSE - Configuration and User Fuses
Fuses are part of the nonvolatile memory and hold factory calibration and device configuration. The fuses can be read by the CPU or the UPDI, but can only be programmed or cleared by the UPDI. The configuration values stored in the fuses are written to their respective target registers at the end of the start-up sequence.
The fuses for peripheral configuration (FUSE) are preprogrammed but can be altered
by the user. Altered values in the configuration fuse will be effective only after a
Reset.
Note: When writing the fuses,
all reserved bits must be written to ‘0’.
