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 Table 1–4). 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.
