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 LFXP2-30E has about 21% more logic capacity (29K vs 24.1K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the LFXP2-30E is built from LUT4 and the XC6SLX25 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (29K vs 15K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XC6SLX25 has 38 DSP48A1 slices against 28 18×18 multipliers on the LFXP2-30E.
The XC6SLX25 has more on-chip memory (0.9 Mb vs 0.4 Mb).
Configuration memory: internal flash on the LFXP2-30E, sram on the XC6SLX25.
The LFXP2-30E is designed with Lattice Diamond and the XC6SLX25 with AMD ISE Design Suite.
