Xilinx or @ltera

Even i am using Altera products. i didnt faced any problem

Re: Xilinx or Altera

Currently both companies have outstanding devices and development tools, I think there's no sense in spending time evaluating which one is better, due to the differences are not really significant.
Frankly, I'd just use a penny to make the decision between Altera and Xilinx if I haven't spent thousands of bucks in a Quartus System. That's simply what makes me biased to Altera.

Xilinx or @ltera

Try one of them, if you don't like it take other

Two of them are really same thing

Xilinx or @ltera

altera is ok

Re: Xilinx or Altera

I have used the DSP blocks in altera's FPGA. It is easy to design and can run to a high frequency.

Re: Xilinx or Altera

Everything I think depends on the software you have in your hands. Xilinx has better simulation tools to check your dessign and also better documentation in ISE Foundation Series software than Altera.I found it useful trying to simulate a DCT module for JPEG comression.

You might also consider Lattice, especiall ECP with multipliers built in:

At least the normal EC devices are way cheaper than Altera's Cyclone chips...
