As we all know, according to big data statistics, the sales of XILINX brand chips have increased year by year in recent years, with outstanding performance in intelligent computing functions, data analysis capabilities and parameter functions. There are increasing inquiries about which product is suitable for XILINX chips and Altera chips. Now let kywos introduce the differences between XILINX chips and Altera chips in different aspects:

The XILINX brand chip has the following four advantages:

1. The intelligent computing function is very flexible. The configurable logic block (CLB) it contains has flexible intelligent computing function. Therefore, both intelligent computing and intelligent control of automotive electronics can be realized through programming.

2. The stronger data analysis ability is conducive to greatly improving its practical application performance. It can convert all parameters of automotive electronics into programmable digital programs for logical control, and also can quickly analyze the information received by the chip.

3. Low cost and power consumption Artix-7 FPGA chip of XILINX brand has the lowest power consumption and cost in the industry, which can meet the demand of large capacity market and maximize power efficiency.

4. The parameter function is very stable. The frequency, CPU function and pin control function of XILINX brand chips are very stable, which also makes automotive electronic products have stable application functions in the market.

The advantages of Altera brand chips are as follows:

1. The process technology and architecture achieve the best performance with the lowest power consumption and the highest system integration, which not only doubles the core performance, but also has more advantages in bandwidth and system integration.

2. Revolutionary digital signal processing technology is the pioneer of hard floating point DSP blocks. This technical breakthrough supports the use of IEEE754 floating point, standard precision (18 bit) or high precision (27 bit) modes to configure precision adjustable DSP modules at compile time.

3. A comprehensive design solution Altera provides more than 14000 customers worldwide with high-value programmable solutions, including FPGA, CPLD, structured ASIC, software tools, intellectual property and customer support.

Differences between XILINX chip and Altera chip:

1. High and low end positioning of the market is different

The XILINX brand chip can help many products realize the control of multiple different functions, and the difference between XILINX and altera chips mainly lies in the high and low end positioning. Generally speaking, XILINX brand chips are more oriented towards some high-performance control products, such as robots or intelligent devices; The market positioning of altera chips is more inclined to some low-end products.

2. Size of system development scale

According to a large number of comparative data analysis, the difference between the two is mainly reflected in the size of the system development scale. Generally speaking, XILINX chips are very powerful in software development, so it is more suitable for large-scale system development; However, altera chip has weak capability of fine and automatic control, so it is more suitable for the development and application of small specification systems.

3. Different logical units

The logic unit distribution of XILINX chips is also quite different from that of altera chips. The logical unit of Xilinx is the logical array module LAB, while the logical unit of Altera is the configurable logical block CLB, so there are obvious differences between the two in applications.

Finally, XILINX chips and altera chips have their own advantages and disadvantages. You can choose the brand that suits you according to your needs.
