Connect VCCIOpins to either a 1.5-V, 1.8 V, 2.5-V, or 3.3-V power supply, depending
on the output requirements. The output levels are compatible with systems of the
same voltage as the power supply (that is, when VCCIOpins are connected to a 1.5-V
power supply, the output levels are compatible with 1.5-V systems). When VCCIO
pins are connected to a 3.3-V power supply, the output high is 3.3 V and is compatible
with 3.3-V or 5.0-V systems. Table 2–7 summarizes MAX II MultiVolt I/O support.

Notes to Table 2–7:
(1) To drive inputs higher than VCCIO but less than 4.0 V including the overshoot, disable the I/O clamp diode. However, to drive 5.0-V inputs to the
device, enable the I/O clamp diode to prevent VI from rising above 4.0 V.
(2) When VCCIO = 1.8 V, a MAX II device can drive a 1.5-V device with 1.8-V tolerant inputs.
(3) When VCCIO = 2.5 V, a MAX II device can drive a 1.5-V or 1.8-V device with 2.5-V tolerant inputs.
(4) When VCCIO = 3.3 V and a 2.5-V input signal feeds an input pin, the VCCIO supply current will be slightly larger than expected.
(5) MAX II devices can be 5.0-V tolerant with the use of an external resistor and the internal I/O clamp diode on the EPM1270 and EPM2210
devices.
(6) When VCCIO = 3.3 V, a MAX II device can drive a 1.5-V, 1.8-V, or 2.5-V device with 3.3-V tolerant inputs.
(7) When VCCIO = 3.3 V, a MAX II device can drive a device with 5.0-V TTL inputs but not 5.0-V CMOS inputs. In the case of 5.0-V CMOS, open-
drain setting with internal I/O clamp diode (available only on EPM1270 and EPM2210 devices) and external resistor is required.
