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 XC2VM3654 has about 46% more logic capacity (509K vs 349K LUT4 equivalents).

They use different logic architectures: the A5D 051 is built from ALMs and the XC2VM3654 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (175K vs 318K) are not directly comparable.

For arithmetic, the A5D 051 has 1,472 variable-precision DSP blocks against 1,428 DSP Engines on the XC2VM3654.

Both have transceivers: 24 at up to 28 Gb/s on the A5D 051 and 24 at up to 32.75 Gb/s on the XC2VM3654.

The A5D 051 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC2VM3654 with AMD Vivado.
