Consider your requirements of the application like PLL, I/O standards, current loading, DSP blocks etc.

Hi,


Other people are saying the right thing, you should check your requirements, however, if all else is the same, then in one word : Xilinx!



Hope it helps.

Later.

Hi mwmmboy,



Based on your final application you can decide on the resources available on that perticular FPGA & the cost of the product!

If you are looking for DSP kind of applications has lot of multipliers then choose Xilinx Spartan devices which are cheaper for that resources....
