In actual datasheets EPC1441 doesn´t appear because EPC1441 is not supported by altera for new designs. My doubt is because in previous datasheets appear: device supportThe USB-Blaster download cable allows you to program and configure Altera® devices. Specifically, you can do the following: ■ Download configuration data to FPGA devices: ● Stratix® II, Stratix GX, and Stratix family of devices ● Cyclone™ II and Cyclone family of devices ● APEX™ II and APEX 20K family of devices ● ACEX® 1K devices ● Mercury™ devices ● FLEX™ 10K, FLEX 10KE, and FLEX 10KA family of devices ● Excalibur™ devices ■ Download configuration data to User Flash Memory (UFM) devices: ● MAX® II family of devices ■ Download configuration data to EEPROM-based devices: ● MAX 3000 and MAX 7000 family of devices ■ Perform in-system programming of advanced configuration devices: ● EPC2, EPC4, EPC8, EPC16, and EPC1441 devices ■ Perform in-system programming of serial configuration devices: ● EPCS1, EPCS4, EPCS16, and EPCS64 devices This datasheet is available here, for example: http://www.datasheetarchive.com/pdf/datasheet-050/dsa001175.pdf best regards Iñigo
