Description
MAX 3000A devices are lowcost, highperformance devices based on the Altera MAX architecture. Fabricated with advanced CMOS technology, the EEPROMbased MAX 3000A devices operate with a 3.3-V supply voltage and provide 600 to 10,000 usable gates, ISP, pin-to-pin delays as fast as 4.5 ns, and counter speeds of up to 227.3 MHz. MAX 3000A devices in the 4, 5, 6, 7, and 10 speed grades are compatible with the timing requirements of the PCI Special Interest Group (PCI SIG) PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2. See Table 2.
