Hello,
This may depend on the POR threshold for the specific type. When Vdd starts from zero, but remains below the POR threshold voltage, the I/O state is likely indeterminate, since the MCU hardware has not yet commenced to initialise.
Once the POR threshold is exceeded, the MCU hardware will be internally initialised, with I/O defaulting to inputs. It would then require that Vdd exceed the the default LVD threshold before the clock would start, and code would commence to run.
To minimize this type of issue, the initial application of the Vdd supply should ramp up within a few milliseconds.
To protect against "brown-out", the LVD shold not be disabled.
Regards,
Mac
