28. Memory Programming
28.1 Program And Data Memory Lock Bits
The device provides six Lock bits which can be left unprogrammed (“1”) or can be programmed (“0”) to obtain
the additional features listed in Table 28-2. The Lock bits can only be erased to “1” with the Chip Erase
command.
Note: 1. “1”: unprogrammed, “0”: programmed
