STM32G431VBT6 PG-10 NRST pin giving a low resistance path or shorting with VSS

[CJ_3011]

Hello,

We have ordered STM32G431VBT6 microcontrollers from different sources both online and local but while testing we were getting a voltage drop at source after isolating the whole PCB the issue was found to be localized to the microcontroller. After checking the supply and all the pins we found that the pin 14 that is the NRST pin of the microcontroller is showing a short with the VSS pins of the controller. Thus, after verifying the issue with another controller we got the NRST pin showing short with VSS pin on all controllers thus we ordered from different sources and found that all the controllers were showing the same behavior. We checked online on community forum and the documentation but found no solution. Is there an alternate way to operate with this controller and if not is there an issue with the controller itself

Maybe the problem is not the MCU but rather the design. NRST low might be a symptom--not the cause. Can you share a schematic? Is power okay? VSSA/VSS tied? Chip orientation correct?
