31.2 Fuse Bits

The device has three Fuse bytes. The following tables describe briefly the functionality of all the fuses and how they are mapped into the Fuse bytes. Note that the fuses are read as logical zero, '0', if they are programmed.

BODLEVEL2(1)2Brown-out Detector trigger level1 (unprogrammed)
BODLEVEL1(1)1Brown-out Detector trigger level1 (unprogrammed)
BODLEVEL0(1)0Brown-out Detector trigger level1 (unprogrammed)

Note: 1. Please refer to Table. BODLEVEL Fuse Coding in System and Reset Characteristics for BODLEVEL Fuse decoding.

Table 31-6. Fuse High Byte. (0x99)
High Fuse ByteBit No.DescriptionDefault Value
OCDEN(1)7Enable OCD1 (unprogrammed, OCD disabled)
JTAGEN6Enable JTAG0 (programmed, JTAG enabled)
SPIEN(2)5Enable Serial Program and Data Downloading0 (programmed, SPI prog. enabled)
WDTON(3)4Watchdog Timer Always On1 (unprogrammed)
EESAVE3EEPROM memory is preserved through the Chip Erase1 (unprogrammed), EEPROM not reserved
BOOTSZ1(4)2Select Boot Size0 (programmed)
BOOTSZ0(4)1Select Boot Size0 (programmed)
BOOTRST0Boot Reset vector Enabled1 (unprogrammed)
Note:
  1. Never ship a product with the OCDEN Fuse programmed regardless of the setting of Lock bits and JTAGEN Fuse. A programmed OCDEN Fuse enables some parts of the clock system to be running in all sleep modes. This may increase the power consumption.
  2. The SPIEN Fuse is not accessible in serial programming mode.
  3. Please refer to WDTCSR – Watchdog Timer Control Register for details.
  4. The default value of BOOTSZ[1:0] results in maximum Boot Size. See Boot size configuration table for details.
Table 31-7. Fuse Low Byte (0x62)
Low Fuse ByteBit No.DescriptionDefault Value
CKDIV8(4)7Divide clock by 80 (programmed)
CKOUT(3)6Clock output1 (unprogrammed)
SUT15Select start-up time1 (unprogrammed)(1)
SUT04Select start-up time0 (programmed)(1)
CKSEL33Select Clock source0 (programmed)(2)
CKSEL22Select Clock source0 (programmed)(2)
CKSEL11Select Clock source1 (unprogrammed)(2)
CKSEL00Select Clock source0 (programmed)(2)
Note:
  1. The default value of SUT[1:0] results in maximum start-up time for the default clock source. See Table. Start-up times for the internal calibrated RC Oscillator clock selection in Calibrated Internal RC Oscillator of System Clock and Clock Options chapter for details.
  2. The default setting of CKSEL[3:0] results in internal RC Oscillator @ 8MHz. See Table 'Internal Calibrated RC Oscillator Operating Modes' in Calibrated Internal RC Oscillator of the System Clock and Clock Options chapter for details.
  3. The CKOUT Fuse allows the system clock to be output on PORTB0. Please refer to Clock Output Buffer section in the System Clock and Clock Options chapter for details.
  4. Please refer to System Clock Prescaler section in the System Clock and Clock Options chapter for details.

The status of the Fuse bits is not affected by Chip Erase. Note that the Fuse bits are locked if Lock bit1 (LB1) is programmed. Program the Fuse bits before programming the Lock bits.
