I have a voltage divider running from 5V to ground (100k top resistor, 200k bottom resistor) which creates 3.3V. If I put this into P1.5 of the above MSP and try to power the MSP it will not power up. P1.5 is configured as an input. If however I power the MSP first and then apply the 3.3V from the divider all works well and I see a steady 3.3V on P1.5. In the first case using a scope I see about .4V. Can someone explain why P1.5 configured as an input seems to load resistor divider while booting up?
Thx
