MultiVolt Core
The MAX II architecture supports the MultiVolt core feature, which allows MAX II
devices to support multiple V
CC
levels on the V
CCINT
supply. An internal linear voltage
regulator provides the necessary 1.8-V internal voltage supply to the device. The
voltage regulator supports 3.3-V or 2.5-V supplies on its inputs to supply the 1.8-V
internal voltage to the device, as shown in
The voltage regulator is not
guaranteed for voltages that are between the maximum recommended 2.5-V
operating voltage and the minimum recommended 3.3-V operating voltage.
The MAX IIG and MAX IIZ devices use external 1.8-V supply. The 1.8-V V
CC
external
supply powers the device core directly.
