Max 10 Device Migration from SA auf SC

Is it possible to migrate from an SA to an SC device when I not use the ADC

I found this Thread

https://community.altera.com/discussions/fpga-device/max10-sideways-migration/264028

But what is not mentioned that some pins are other Connected

For example, U169 package:

  • D3 Sa: ADC_Ref; SC: VCCA3
  • D2 SA: ANAIN1; SC: GND

It seems this case is not supported in the Pin Migration.

Is there some document which explains which pins are different or must I check each of the 169 pins individual?

And can I Left open the “dual used pins” or must I provide Jumper to switch between both variances?

Kind Regards Jonas

    Hi Jonas,

    For MAX 10 SA to SC migration, please do not assume full pin compatibility only because the package is the same. Some pins can have different functions between feature options, for example analog pins on SA may become power or GND pins on SC.

    The recommended approach is to compare the official MAX 10 pin-out file for both exact ordering part numbers and check the MAX 10 Pin Connection Guidelines for unused or dual-purpose pin handling. Altera provides MAX 10 pinout files and pin connection guidelines for this purpose.

    In general:

    • Pins defined as GND or power pins for one device option must follow that device requirement.
    • Unused dual-purpose or analog-related pins should follow the pin connection guideline.
    • If one PCB must support both SA and SC variants, it is safer to provide board-level options such as jumper or stuffing option for pins that are different.
