Introduction
Features
1. 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.
The MAX II CPLD has the following features:
■ Low-cost, low-power CPLD
■ Instant-on, non-volatile architecture
■ Standby current as low as 29 µA
■ Provides fast propagation delay and clock-to-output times
■ Provides four global clocks with two clocks available per logic array block (LAB)
■ UFM block up to 8 Kbits for non-volatile storage
■ MultiVolt core enabling external supply voltages to the device of either 3.3 V/2.5 V
or 1.8 V
■ MultiVolt I/O interface supporting 3.3-V, 2.5-V, 1.8-V, and 1.5-V logic levels
■ Bus-friendly architecture including programmable slew rate, drive strength, bus-
hold, and programmable pull-up resistors
■ Schmitt triggers enabling noise tolerant inputs (programmable per pin)
■ I/Os are fully compliant with the Peripheral Component Interconnect Special
Interest Group (PCI SIG) PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2 for 3.3-V
operation at 66 MHz
■ Supports hot-socketing
■ Built-in Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) boundary-scan test (BST) circuitry
compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990
■ ISP circuitry compliant with IEEE Std. 1532

tPD1 represents a pin-to-pin delay for the worst case I/O placement with a full diagonal path across the device and combinational logic
implemented in a single LUT and LAB that is adjacent to the output pin.
(2) The maximum frequency is limited by the I/O standard on the clock input pin. The 16-bit counter critical delay will run faster than this number.
f For more information about equivalent macrocells, refer to the MAX II Logic Element to
Macrocell Conversion Methodology white paper.
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 two speed grades: –6,
–7, with –6 being faster. 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.

Chapter 1: Introduction

1–3
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 1–3). 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.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Referenced Documents
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.
