20. Memory Programming
This section describes the different methods for Programming the ATtiny25/45/85 memories.
20.1 Program And Data Memory Lock Bits
ATtiny25/45/85 provides two Lock bits which can be left unprogrammed (“1”) or can be programmed (“0”) to obtain
the additional security listed in Table 20-2. Lock bits can be erased to “1” with the Chip Erase command, only.
Program memory can be read out via the debugWIRE interface when the DWEN fuse is programmed, even if the
Lock Bits are set. Thus, when Lock Bit security is required debugWIRE should always be disabled (by clearing the
DWEN fuse).
Note: 1. “1” means unprogrammed, “0” means programmed
Notes: 1. Program the Fuse bits before programming the LB1 and LB2.
2. “1” means unprogrammed, “0” means programmed
Lock bits can also be read by device firmware. See section “Reading Lock, Fuse and Signature Data from Soft-
ware” on page 143.

Further programming of the Flash and EEPROM is disabled in
High-voltage and Serial Programming mode. The Fuse bits are
locked in both Serial and High-voltage Programming mode.

Further programming and verification of the Flash and EEPROM
is disabled in High-voltage and Serial Programming mode. The
Fuse bits are locked in both Serial and High-voltage
Programming mode.
