68300

Hello everyone,

We are using PortE to control some digital outputs in our device.  We have discovered a glitch on one of our digital outputs (the one controlled by PE6).  The following facts should help clarify:

1.  There is a ~250us space on PE6 which has weak internal pull-up on it (according to the manual).  The falling edge corresponds to the low to high transition of the reset line after power up.  
2.  The glitch happens before any code gets executed.
3.  The glitch does not appear on any of the lines PE1-3, also used for digital outputs.
4.  The glitch appears regardless of whether or not D8 is tied to ground with 10K to enable reset mode select to PortE.
5.  The PE6 pin directly feeds an AC logic gate.


thanks,
