FPGA comparison
PolarFire vs Kintex-7
The Microchip PolarFire and AMD Xilinx Kintex-7 families side by side, from the 44 devices and 346 orderable parts in our catalogue.
Key differences
- PolarFire spans 109,000 to 481,000 logic elements.
- Kintex-7 spans 65,600 to 477,760 logic cells.
- Packages: 325 to 1,152 pins on PolarFire, 484 to 1,156 pins on Kintex-7.
- Only PolarFire is listed in military temperature grade.
- Only Kintex-7 is listed in automotive temperature grade.
- They come from different manufacturers (Microchip and AMD Xilinx), so moving between them is a redesign: different pinouts, tools and bitstreams.
