MPC565 hanging at temperature

Hi all,

We have a problem with a MPC566 based ECU. We have manufactured several
batches of this product with no problems. The latest batch freeze at
temperatures over 80 degrees C. The MPC566 part is an MZ part so should
be good for 125 degrees.

We have checked all the supplies and they are correct.

PORESET is stable (not asserted)
HRESET is flicking up and down - presumably causing the reset of the
part, and generated internally

When the ambient temperature falls below 80 degrees the part runs
normally again. We have nothing connected to the HRESET line other than
the pull up resistor.

Any thoughts and help would be appreciated. It's baffling us as previous
batches have worked with no problems.

Best regards
Pete
