STM32F4 to STM32F7 compatibility

Hi All. 

Looking at the STM32F7 Series main page I read: ''

STM32F7 series is pin-to-pin compatible with the STM32F4 series

''.

Now, I would like to find a device pin to pin compatible with the STM32F407VG I am currently using. I checked several devices but none of them seems to be pin to pin compatible. I wonder whether there is a rule to understand the device compatibility between the two series.

The code seems not to be the key, for instance STM32F46x looks incompatible with STM32F76x.

Then read also the footnote:

Note: see datasheet for the specific case of 64- and 100-pin packages

And then see the datasheet.
