3. Examples of FPGA families

For most manufacturers, FPGA circuits come in different families. All circuits in the same family have identical physical characteristics and functionalities, it's the number of available elements that varies.

Within a family, several FPGA sizes are available. In a small circuit, the various blocks are only present in small numbers on the circuit surface, whereas they are massively replicated on a larger circuit. The processing capacity (calculation, storage and communication), but also the cost of the circuits increases, often non-linearly for the cost, with size.

Each family has its own characteristics, making it particularly well-suited to certain types of application. For example, there are High-End Families and Low-Cost and Low-Power Families. The high-performance families offer very high processing capacities (up to 2 million equivalent...
