Timing Model & Specifications
Performance
Table 5–14 shows the MAX II device performance for some common
designs. All performance values were obtained with the Quartus II
software compilation of megafunctions. These performance values are
based on an EPM1270 device target.

Notes to Table 5–14:
(1) This design is a binary loadable up counter.
(2) This design is configured for read only operation in Extended mode. Read and write ability increases the number
of LEs used.
(3) This design is configured for read-only operation. Read and write ability increases the number of LEs used.
(4) This design is asynchronous.
(5) The I2C megafunction is verified in hardware up to 100-kHz serial clock line (SCL) rate.
