Introduction
The MAX
®
II family of instant-on, non-volatile CPLDs is based on a 0.18-µm,
6-layer-metal-flash process, with densities from 240 to 2,210 logic elements (LEs) (128
to 2,210 equivalent macrocells) and non-volatile storage of 8 Kbits. MAX II devices
offer high I/O counts, fast performance, and reliable fitting versus other CPLD
architectures. Featuring MultiVolt core, a user flash memory (UFM) block, and
enhanced in-system programmability (ISP), MAX II devices are designed to reduce
cost and power while providing programmable solutions for applications such as bus
bridging, I/O expansion, power-on reset (POR) and sequencing control, and device
configuration control.

MAX II and MAX IIG devices are available in three speed grades: –3, –4, and –5, with
–3 being the fastest. Similarly, MAX IIZ devices are available in three speed grades: –6,
–7, and –8, with –6 being the fastest. These speed grades represent the overall relative
performance, not any specific timing parameter. For propagation delay timing
numbers within each speed grade and density, refer to the
DC and Switching
Characteristics
chapter in the
MAX II Device Handbook.

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.

MAX II devices have an internal linear voltage regulator which supports external
supply voltages of 3.3 V or 2.5 V, regulating the supply down to the internal operating
voltage of 1.8 V. MAX IIG and MAX IIZ devices only accept 1.8 V as the external
supply voltage. MAX IIZ devices are pin-compatible with MAX IIG devices in the
100-pin Micro FineLine BGA and 256-pin Micro FineLine BGA packages. Except for
external supply voltage requirements, MAX II and MAX II G devices have identical
pin-outs and timing specifications.
Table 1–5
shows the external supply voltages
supported by the MAX II family.
