That's my thought as well - is there anything driving the CPLD pins
before the CPLD rails are up?

Hi All,

Possible CMOS Latch-up?

Hi, Sam,
           I had experience about the shut-down last year.
Please follow up the previous suggestions from SI experts and do the
last thing here:
Do Power Integrity simulation for 3.3V core first, then 2.5V. Make sure
the Ztarget is less than 5% below 10MHz.
I think it should help.
Best regards,

Robert Hsu

The FA report from CPLD vendor says electrical over-stress...

3.3V banks, 3.3V Core/IO supply comes up first then 2.5V.
