MAX 10 in place of Cyclone IV

Well, this seems fine to me, but I thought I'd ask the experts before doing it: I've made a VHDL design that's currently working on a Cyclone IV E. It uses the internal RAM (dual port mode), ab...

MAX 10 10M02. It has all the RAM I need supporting dual port mode, needs only one single 3.3V supply (instead of 3 different voltages that the Cyclone IV needs)

Beware that that only applies to the "single supply" versions of the MAX10 - "S" in the partnumber after the size - which in turn are only available in certain package options.

So for your job you could use the 10M02SCE144C8G (144 QFP package), but not the 10M02DCV36C8G (36-pin tiny package, but only available in "dual supply").

Note also that the MAX10 "dual" supply is "dual" in the same way as Cyclone 3/4 are "dual" supply - actually 3 different voltages needed unless your I/O voltage happens to be the same as one of the internal voltages.
