MAX II vs MAX V??

[FCaña]

We have an old design using MAX II family, particulary the CPLD EPM2210F256I5N and we want to improve this design usign the MAX V family with the CPLD 5M2210ZF256I5N. I know that it is full compatible pinout but I want to know if there are any other problem or changes includes in this improvement, like software changes or something different.

Hi,

I found a similar discussion link

Also, you need to use the proper Quartus tool version which supports Max V devices

With regards,

Hello,

Thank you for the information but in that discussion they don´t response the main issue.

Can you give me additional information?

Thanks you in advance

Hi,

There will no be any problem as the design will be re-synthesis for Max V design as the architecture for this device is different compare to Max II device. The performance will also be better.

Hi,

So, if i change the CPLD, the software will automatically re-synthesis or I will do it again for the MAX V?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You will need to change the device used for your Quartus design before re-compiling the design.
