Features
MAX II devices are available in space-saving FineLine BGA, Micro FineLine BGA,
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.
