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: 728K and 680K LUT4 equivalents.
They use different logic architectures: the A5D 110 is built from ALMs and the XCZU43DR from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (364K vs 425K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XCZU43DR has 4,272 DSP slices against 3,312 variable-precision DSP blocks on the A5D 110.
The A5D 110 has more on-chip memory (104.3 Mb vs 60.5 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 24 at up to 28 Gb/s on the A5D 110 and 16 at up to 28.21 Gb/s on the XCZU43DR.
The A5D 110 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCZU43DR with AMD Vivado.
