Power up problem with PIC16F1824

Hello together,
i have a problem with powering up a PIC16F1824.
When I apply 5V, the port RA5 gets high for 1µs.
Power Supply is fine, no interruptions - 100n directly on controller supply pin's.
On the port I have connected a FET (resistor 1K from port to gate, 47k from gate to gnd)
I defined port as output in tris register.
Power up timer is enabled.
In a former thread i read, that port and lat settings must be done before tris setting - so
I did this, but the 1µs pulse is still there.
I tried lata and porta - no difference.
I would be thankful for any idea.
best regards
norbert

you do not say if the fet is PCh or N ch , but have you tried clearing the port after after assigning the TRIS register . It be helpfull if you included the area of code that you use to configthe chip , assuming its not changed on the fly in other parts of the code

this for the PIC 16F1825 , so should be trhe same for your pic

Just throwing in my 2 cents, I had the same problem with a 16F819. I forget the port pin involved but it was connected to a piezo buzzer. Everytime the PIC was powered up it would cause a chirp in the buzzer. Turning off the power-up timer cured the problem.
