Serial Configuration Devices (EPCS1, EPCS4, EPCS16 & EPCS64) Data Sheet
lists the serial configuration device used with each Cyclone II
FPGA and the configuration file size. Cyclone II devices can be used with
all serial configuration devices.

With the new data-decompression feature in the Stratix II and Cyclone
FPGA families, designers can use smaller serial configuration devices to
configure larger FPGAs.
