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
The XC7A200T has about 21% more logic capacity (215K vs 178K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the 5SGSD3 is built from ALMs and the XC7A200T from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (89K vs 135K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XC7A200T has 740 DSP slices against 600 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 5SGSD3.
Both have transceivers: 24 at up to 14.1 Gb/s on the 5SGSD3 and 16 at up to 6.6 Gb/s on the XC7A200T.
The 5SGSD3 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC7A200T with AMD Vivado.
