FPGA comparison
Artix-7 vs Spartan-7
The AMD Xilinx Artix-7 and AMD Xilinx Spartan-7 families side by side, from the 27 devices and 318 orderable parts in our catalogue.
Key differences
- Artix-7 spans 12,800 to 215,360 logic cells; Spartan-7 spans 6,000 to 102,400 logic cells. The largest Artix-7 has 2.1× the logic of the largest Spartan-7.
- DSP: up to 740 slices on Artix-7, 160 on Spartan-7.
- Block RAM: up to 13,140 Kb on Artix-7, 4,320 Kb on Spartan-7.
- Packages: 236 to 1,156 pins on Artix-7, 196 to 676 pins on Spartan-7.
- Only Artix-7 is listed in extended temperature grade.
- Only Spartan-7 is listed in expanded temperature grade.
- Neither is a drop-in replacement for the other: package, pinout and configuration differ, so a change of family needs engineering review.
