Program And Data Memory Lock Bits
The ATmega164P/324P/644P provides six Lock bits which can be left unprogrammed (“1”) or
can be programmed (“0”) to obtain the additional features listed in
Table 25-2. The Lock bits can
only be erased to “1” with the Chip Erase command.
Note:
1. “1” means unprogrammed, “0” means programmed
Table 25-1.
