Home > Products > Devices > Enhanced Configuration > Overview Print This Page Subscribe to Email Configuration Devices Overview Altera® configuration devices provide suitable solutions for all of its FPGAs, including Stratix® and Cyclone® series FPGAs, APEX™ II, APEX 20K, APEX 20KE, APEX 20KC, Excalibur™, and Mercury™ device families. Enhanced configuration devices, listed in Table 1, provide up to 30 Mbits (with compression) of configuration memory and provide a single device solution for high-density FPGAs. Standard configuration devices, shown in Table 2 , offer an easy solution for the lower-density FPGAs. For customers that are using Stratix II or Cyclone series FPGAs on their board, serial configuration devices, as detailed in the serial configuration device overview page, are the ideal solution for addressing high-volume, price-sensitive applications.
