Hey,
I have 4 design options .. each taking different number of LEs and Memory space .. I need to relate them to each other in terms of hardware cost and compare .. (i am using cyclone II) In order to do that, i need a unifying metric, that is: 1. How many transistors does an LE have, and 1 bit of memory have? or 2. total area occupied by LE to total area of 1Kb of memory .. I prefer the first one for the second is mostly used in ASICs .. where can I find this information? thanksLink Copied

Hi,
Which link are you referring to? you forgot to attach the link .. however, I found this paper from Altera, it shows that in the Cyclone EP1C20, it seems that the logic fabric is 5 times the area as that of the memory fabric .. pdf file (http://www.altera.com/literature/cp/cyclone-lc-hp-fpga-423.pdf?gsa_pos=4&wt.oss_r=1&wt.oss=die%20area%20cyclone%20ii) regards,- Mark as New

--- Quote Start --- seems that the logic fabric is 5 times the area as that of the memory fabric .. --- Quote End --- You can also calculate from the numbers given in the paper, that the area occupied by one LE is about 70 times the area of a memory bit.
