Memory Lock Bits
The ATmega640/1280/1281/2560/2561 provides six Lock bits which can be left unpro-
grammed (“1”) or can be programmed (“0”) to obtain the additional features listed in
Table 150. The Lock bits can only be erased to “1” with the Chip Erase command.
Note: 1. “1” means unprogrammed, “0” means programmed
