Table 32-7. Fuse Low Byte
Low Fuse Byte Bit No. Description Default Value
CKDIV8
(4)
7 Divide clock by 8 0 (programmed)
CKOUT
(3)
6 Clock output 1 (unprogrammed)
SUT1 5 Select start-up time 1 (unprogrammed)
(1)
SUT0 4 Select start-up time 0 (programmed)
(1)
CKSEL3 3 Select Clock source 0 (programmed)
(2)
CKSEL2 2 Select Clock source 0 (programmed)
(2)
CKSEL1 1 Select Clock source 1 (unprogrammed)
(2)
CKSEL0 0 Select Clock source 0 (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 - SUT 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 @ 8 MHz. 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. Refer to Clock Output Buffer
section in the System Clock and Clock Options chapter for details.
4. 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.

32.2.1 Latching of Fuses
The fuse values are latched when the device enters programming mode and changes of the fuse values
will have no effect until the part leaves Programming mode. This does not apply to the EESAVE Fuse
which will take effect once it is programmed. The fuses are also latched on Power-up in Normal mode.
32.3 Signature Bytes
The device have a three-byte signature code. This code can be read in both serial and parallel mode,
also when the device is locked. The three bytes reside in a separate address space. For the device, the
signature bytes are given in the following table.
