FPGA Memory Recommendations Using the Vivado Design Suite
Proper utilization of these tables requires understanding of the following:
- The percentage of Slice/LUT utilization directly impacts the memory requirements. The numbers below assume devices with 75% LUT utilization.
- The number and complexity of timing constraints directly impact the memory requirements.
- The memory usage numbers below are based on a command line full compile (synthesis and implementation).
