ISSUE: The logic controlling the PORz_OUT and MCU_PORz_OUT signals requires clock and the VDD_CORE supply before it drives these signal low. During a power sequence, the PORz_OUT and MCU_PORz_OUT will start to rise when the I/O voltage for the VDDS0_WKUP is applied. They remain high until the VDD_CORE is applied. When VDD_CORE is present, the PORz_OUT and MCU_PORz_OUT are driven low and remain low until the part is released from reset.
SOLUTION: Customers should include a pull-down resistor on PORz_OUT and a separate pull-down resistor on MCU_PORz_OUT. This keeps these signals low until the part is released from reset.
