Hi everyone,
I compared the prices of two FPGAs from Digikey
+) Altera Cyclone, EP1C6Q240C8N - ND with LC:5980, I/O pins:185. Price: 18.9$
Im relativly new to the FPGA world, but given the larger numbers of LC's and I/O pins that cyclone has, I don't understand why spartan-3 is more expensive? Is there another parameter that I am missing here? Note that I don't find these huge price differences only in Digikey.
