2.3.2. Package M16A

Figure 5. Consideration Details

The M16A package is only available in Device Group B with all Device Specification of A, B, C, D, and E. All devices within the M16A package are available with the same HVIO and HSIO resource count. Support for transceiver and HPS depends on the Device Specification of the selected device. The considerations taken when migrating between this package depends on which device and Device Specification you are migrating to.

Refer to the following examples to understand the areas that require consideration when planning for migration within the M16A package.

Examples:
  • If you are migrating within Device Specification A of A5E008B to A5E013B devices, neither device supports transceiver and HPS. The resource count for HVIO and HSIO are the same, so this is categorized as Vertical Migration which has no impact on board design guidelines.
  • If you are migrating from Device Specification C of A5E008B to Device Specification D of A5E013B devices, then you are migrating from non-HPS supported device to HPS supported device.
  • If you are migrating from Device Specification B of A5E008B to Device Specification E of A5E013B devices, then you are migrating from Quad HPS supported device to Dual HPS supported device.

The following table summarizes the areas that require consideration when planning migration within the M16A package. Refer to Functional Area for more details on each area.
