FLEX 6000, FLEX 8000, and FLEX 10K 
device families. 
Altera also offers Configuration EPROM 
devices which are used to configure 
FLEX 6000, FLEX 8000, and FLEX 10K 
devices.
device assignment A device assignment 
assigns a user-specified block of logic 
functions, called a chip, to a specific Altera 
device. 
device family A group of Altera 
programmable logic devices with the same 
fundamental architecture. Altera families 
include the Classic, MAX 5000, MAX 7000, 
MAX 9000, FLEX 6000, FLEX 8000, 
and FLEX 10K, device families.
device option An option that controls a 
device. Altera devices offer the following 
device options:
dual I/O feedback A combination of pin 
feedback and register or combinatorial 
feedback on the same logic cell.
dynamic models Models that represent 
actual combinatorial logic in timing 
Simulator Netlist Files (.snf). 
Dynamic models are generated for the 
logic in a timing SNF when the CompilerÕs 
Optimize Timing SNF command 
(Processing menu) is turned on. Instead of 
processing the combinatorial logic, the 
Simulator or Timing Analyzer refers to the 
representative dynamic model.
