The FPGA Family Landscape: A Cross-Vendor Reference

Every FPGA vendor describes their parts a little differently – Xilinx counts “logic cells,” Altera counts “logic elements,” Lattice counts LUTs – and there’s surprisingly no single place that lays the families side by side. So I built one. This is a cross-vendor reference to the current, in-production FPGA families from the major vendors: where each one sits by size, generation, lifecycle status, and rough price.

Sort any column, or filter by vendor, device type, or lifecycle.

Logic-size units differ across vendors and are not directly comparable. Prices are approximate / indicative. Last updated: June 2026.

Notes & Limitations

  • Logic size isn’t comparable across vendors. Each uses its own unit – logic cells, LEs, LUTs, ALMs, CPEs. Read the numbers as rough magnitude, and compare within a vendor, not across.
  • Prices are approximate and indicative. They’re representative single-unit (qty 1) figures from distributor listings (mostly DigiKey), current as of the “last updated” date shown above the table, rounded for readability – meant to show how families are positioned, not to quote a purchase. High-end, rad-tolerant, and brand-new parts often have no public price (“N/A”). Prices drift; treat this as a snapshot.
  • Scope: current mainstream families only. This is the in-production lineup from active vendors with Western distribution. Historical/EOL families (older Spartan/Cyclone lines, CPLDs, antifuse) and emerging/Chinese/IP-only vendors aren’t here yet – they’re planned as later additions.
  • “Family” means one marketed series. Umbrella lines are split (Versal AI Core / Prime / Premium are separate rows). Size and price ranges span the smallest to largest device in each family.
  • Intro year is the announced year, even where a part shipped a year or two later. “Active (inferred)” means a family is still listed and stocked but I couldn’t confirm a formal lifecycle status.

I aim to refresh this periodically and re-check prices and lifecycle when I do – the “last updated” date above the table tells you how current it is. FPGA lineups move constantly: vendors add families, rename them, and quietly retire others. If you spot something wrong, stale, or missing, please leave a comment to let me know and I’ll check it when I next update. Still on the to-do list: a historical/EOL tier and an emerging-vendor tier.
