Hi Forum,
I have a quandary selecting an FPGA for a build.
I'd like to leverage the advantages of modern JESD204 ADCs (5GSPS+ like for example the TI ADC08DJ5200RF ) together with an FPGA in a design, i.e. high speed serial lanes (12G+) with at least 8 lanes receive.
I don't need 2000 GPIO for the LEDs in my design.. maybe I'd like to hook up 1 or 2 DDR IC for storage, and a USB 2.0 FTDI JTAG / high speed data uplink is necessary for what i'd like to do. But a small footprint FPGA with a 8+ 12G tranceivers is what I need.
From what I've gathered on my lonesome, the alternatives with 8+ receiver pairs in 2024 Q4 are:
- AMD Artix Ultrascale+ AU10P (or up)
- AMD Kintex (XC7K325T or up)
- AMD Kintex Ultrascale
- AMD Kintex Ultrascale+
- Intel Agilex 5
- Microchip PolarFire (725 ball or up)
- ...
Anybody else got any any more resonable alternatives?
I think that the AMD/Xilinx tools and docs are far superior to the alternatives, but I just wanted to ask if anyone have alternatives that I don't know of.

Best regards,
