The algorithm for reading the Fuse Low byte is similar to the one described above for reading the Lock bits. To
read the Fuse Low byte, load the Z-pointer with 0x0000 and set the BLBSET and SPMEN bits in SPMCSR. When
an (E)LPM instruction is executed within three cycles after the BLBSET and SPMEN bits are set in the SPMCSR,
the value of the Fuse Low byte (FLB) will be loaded in the destination register as shown below. Refer to Table 30-
5 on page 327 for a detailed description and mapping of the Fuse Low byte.
Similarly, when reading the Fuse High byte, load 0x0003 in the Z-pointer. When an (E)LPM instruction is executed
within three cycles after the BLBSET and SPMEN bits are set in the SPMCSR, the value of the Fuse High byte
(FHB) will be loaded in the destination register as shown below. Refer to Table 30-4 on page 327 for detailed
description and mapping of the Fuse High byte.
When reading the Extended Fuse byte, load 0x0002 in the Z-pointer. W hen an (E)LPM instruction is executed
within three cycles after the BLBSET and SPMEN bits are set in the SPMCSR, the value of the Extended Fuse
byte (EFB) will be loaded in the destination register as shown below. Refer to Table 30-3 on page 326 for detailed
description and mapping of the Extended Fuse byte.
Fuse and Lock bits that are programmed, will be read as zero. Fuse and Lock bits that are unprogrammed, will be
read as one.
29.6.10 Reading the Signature Row from Software
To read the Signature Row from software, load the Z-pointer with the signature byte address given in Table 29-5
on page 317 and set the SIGRD and SPMEN bits in SPMCSR. When an LPM instruction is executed within three
CPU cycles after the SIGRD and SPMEN bits are set in SPMCSR, the signature byte value will be loaded in the
destination register. The SIGRD and SPMEN bits will auto-clear upon completion of reading the Signature Row
Lock bits or if no LPM instruction is executed within three CPU cycles. When SIGRD and SPMEN are cleared, LPM
will work as described in the Instruction set Manual.
Note: All other addresses are reserved for future use.
29.6.11 Preventing Flash Corruption
During periods of low V
CC
, the Flash program can be corrupted because the supply voltage is too low for the CPU
and the Flash to operate properly. These issues are the same as for board level systems using the Flash, and the
same design solutions should be applied.
A Flash program corruption can be caused by two situations when the voltage is too low. First, a regular write
sequence to the Flash requires a minimum voltage to operate correctly. Secondly, the CPU itself can execute
instructions incorrectly, if the supply voltage for executing instructions is too low.
