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 SX 1650 has about 23% more logic capacity (1101K vs 899K LUT4 equivalents).

For arithmetic, the SX 1650 has 3,145 variable-precision DSP blocks against 2,592 variable-precision DSP blocks on the TX 1100.

Both have transceivers: 96 at up to 28.3 Gb/s on the SX 1650 and 72 at up to 57.8 Gb/s on the TX 1100.

The SX 1650 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the TX 1100 with Altera Quartus Prime.
