Use Microchip SST25V series to configure Altera's Cyclone IV

[Altera_Forum]

We have earlier used M25P64 flash as configuration memory, but this family is EOL soon. 

Microchip SST25V series looks both cheap and available. For a new design based on Cyclone IV I am looking för a 16Mbit flash.  Would Microchip SST25VF016B-50-4I-S2AF work (in AS configuration mode) ? Yes, I know the devices labeled Altera/Intel, but with the stupid Altera-pricing you don't even want to ask for "your price".

Yes, that device should be fine. You could also consider serial FLASH devices from Micron or ST.
