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: 240 and 256 LUT4 equivalents.

The 5M240Z is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the LCMXO2-256 with Lattice Diamond; open source: Yosys + nextpnr-machxo2 (experimental) with Project Trellis.
