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 EP4SE230 has about 12% more logic capacity (182K vs 163K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the EP4SE230 is built from ALMs and the LAV-AT-E30 from LUT4, so the raw LUT counts (91.2K vs 163K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the EP4SE230 has 1,288 18×18 multipliers against 700 18×18 multipliers on the LAV-AT-E30.
The EP4SE230 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the LAV-AT-E30 with Lattice Radiant.
