Notes to Table 5–1:
(1) Refer to the Operating Requirements for Altera Devices Data Sheet.
(2) Conditions beyond those listed in Table 5–1 may cause permanent damage to a device. Additionally, device operation at the absolute maximum
ratings for extended periods of time may have adverse affects on the device.
(3) Maximum VCCINT for MAX II devices is 4.6 V. For MAX IIG and MAX IIZ devices, it is 2.4 V.
(4) Refer to AN 286: Implementing LED Drivers in MAX & MAX II Devices for more information about the maximum source and sink current for
MAX II devices.
(5) Refer to Table 5–2 for information about “under bias” conditions.
