Features
MAX II devices are available in space-saving FineLine BGA, Micro FineLine BGA, and
thin quad flat pack (TQFP) packages (refer to Table 1–3 and 1–3). MAX II devices
support vertical migration within the same package (for example, you can migrate
between the EPM570, EPM1270, and EPM2210 devices in the 256-pin FineLine BGA
package). Vertical migration means that you can migrate to devices whose dedicated
pins and JTAG pins are the same and power pins are subsets or supersets for a given
package across device densities. The largest density in any package has the highest
number of power pins; you must lay out for the largest planned density in a package
to provide the necessary power pins for migration. For I/O pin migration across
densities, cross reference the available I/O pins using the device pin-outs for all
planned densities of a given package type to identify which I/O pins can be migrated.
®
The Quartus II software can automatically cross-reference and place all pins for you
when given a device migration list.
