pwm pin and reset problem

Hello,
I have a problem with PWM pin during reset:
at start-up all the pins are in high impedence input state with pull-up inside and for this reason I configure my PWM as "active low" in my board.
I configure SCT_OUT pin for drive an inverter and use two events/state, the first for drive low the pin and the second to reset pin high. It works fine, but now I have this trouble:
if it happens a reset condition all the register about the SCT timers go to its reset condition and my output pin goes in low state, but switch matrix is not involved in this kind of reset so my pin remains low and the inverter hardware is on, in a dangerous condition.
Pratically there are two different condition for output pwm at reset state: high state at start-up reset and low state for other reset (wcd for example).
Someone has a suggestion for solving this trouble?
thanks
enrico

you can configure pull-down only after reset, so at start-up the pin is high.

It is input and pulled up with internal weak pull-up  :)

I think the only solution is to add other hardware to enable/disable pin between micro and the other; it's a pity!

:quest:

And I think the fastest solution is to pull this pin up/down with an external (strong) resistor  :O

The preblem is that we have 2 different conditions for pwm output pin at reset:
high state (pull-up) at start-up
low state at other reset

How about using a relatively strong pull-down and active high signals?

I'm not sure how you setup your SCT in detail  :((

Could be useful to post a project to see what is happening there  :)
