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 M2GL150 has about 44% more logic capacity (146K vs 101K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the M2GL150 is built from LUT4 and the XC7A100T from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (146K vs 63.4K) are not directly comparable.
The XC7A100T has more on-chip memory (4.7 Mb vs 4.2 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 16 at up to 5 Gb/s on the M2GL150 and 8 at up to 6.6 Gb/s on the XC7A100T.
Configuration memory: non-volatile (flash) on the M2GL150, sram on the XC7A100T.
The M2GL150 is designed with Microchip Libero SoC and the XC7A100T with AMD Vivado.
