Altera Cyclone II die revision?

Started by Manfred Balik January 5, 2007
from the Cyclone II errata sheet:
The die revision is identified by the alphanumeric character (Z) before the 
fab code (first two alphanumeric characters) in the date code printed on the 
top side of the device.
A X?Z  ##   ####
         ^ Die Revision

my EP2C20F484C8N is labeld with (looks a little bit different :-( ):
K CAA9T0619A
is the die Revision A????
I need this to know, because I use dual clock FIFOs. (Do I need the 
workaround of the "M4K block write operations may fail ..."-error in the 
Revision A?)

Thanks, Manfred 


Hi Manfred,

 These package markings indicate rev A silicon.

Hope this helps,
Subroto Datta
