Highlighted values are higher. LUT counts are shown as published; the LUT4 equivalent is an approximation to compare different LUT types, see how FPGA vendors count logic. Add up to two more devices to this comparison.

Key differences

Both devices offer similar logic capacity: 1.3K and 1.3K LUT4 equivalents.

Configuration memory: internal flash on the 5M1270Z, — on the LCMXO3L-1300.

The 5M1270Z is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the LCMXO3L-1300 with Lattice Diamond.
