Who they are
This page is for engineers who encounter a Chinese FPGA on a board or in a procurement list and need to know what it is, and for anyone following the industry. China has a large FPGA market, and domestic suppliers have grown quickly since around 2015, helped by government procurement preferences and by the difficulty of importing high-end devices. Gowin is the best known abroad and has its own page. This page covers the other three with public products.
Fudan Microelectronics (FMSH) is a Shanghai company listed in Hong Kong and Shanghai, with a long history in smart-card and security chips. Its FPGA line is pin- and architecture-compatible with AMD devices: the JFM7 series mirrors 7 series parts down to the package, and older JFM4 and JFM5 series mirror Virtex-4 and Virtex-5. The customers are mainly domestic industrial, aerospace and defence programmes replacing imported parts.
Anlogic (Shanghai Anlu) was founded in 2011 and sells small and mid-sized devices under the Elf, Eagle, Dragon and Phoenix names. The Eagle EG4S20 appeared on the first Sipeed Lichee Tang board in 2018, before Sipeed moved to Gowin. Anlogic’s newer Dragon family adds ARM cores.
Pango Micro (Shenzhen Pangomicro) was founded in 2010 and offers the Logos, Titan and Kosmo lines, with Logos as the volume low-cost family, Titan with transceivers and Kosmo as a SoC FPGA. Pango has had the most visible push into general industrial markets and has English documentation for the Logos parts.
Toolchain
Each vendor has its own tool. Fudan Micro’s Procise is built to accept designs written for the equivalent AMD device with minimal changes, and supports ISE-style and Vivado-style constraints for the respective generations. Anlogic’s TD (Tang Dynasty) and Pango’s PDS (Pango Design Suite) are conventional synthesis, place and route and programming tools with a GUI, Tcl scripting, a logic analyser and SDC timing constraints. All three run on Windows, with Linux builds for TD and PDS. Licences are free after registration, which usually requires a Chinese phone number or a distributor contact, and the tools and most documentation are in Chinese with partial English translations. There is no open-source toolchain support for any of them at the time of writing.
Pain points for a non-Chinese engineer are language, access to downloads and the absence of community forums in English. Quality of results is reasonable on the small parts and harder to assess on the larger ones.
Boards to start with
There are no boards from these vendors in our reference list at the time of writing, because they are hard to buy outside China and documentation is in Chinese. Domestic boards from makers such as ALINX and others carry Pango Logos and Anlogic Eagle parts. If you want to try a Chinese FPGA with English documentation and open tools, use a Gowin device on a Tang Nano 9K or Tang Nano 20K.
Migration notes
Fudan Micro is the special case: its devices are designed as drop-in replacements, so an existing AMD design with XDC or UCF constraints is the starting point, and the vendor documents the differences. Expect the hard blocks (transceivers, PCIe, memory controllers) to be the areas where behaviour diverges.
For Anlogic and Pango, the flow resembles Altera or Gowin more than AMD: 4-input or 6-input LUTs depending on family, vendor-named PLL and block RAM primitives generated by an IP wizard, a physical constraints file for pins and an SDC file for timing. Inference of memory and DSP works for simple templates. Vendor IP for DDR, Ethernet and PCIe exists but English documentation is uneven.
Watch for
Trade controls are the context around these vendors and should be stated plainly. The United States restricts export of advanced FPGAs and manufacturing equipment to China, and some Chinese companies and institutions are on export control lists. China in turn encourages domestic sourcing for government and infrastructure projects. The practical effect for an engineer outside China is that these parts are rarely stocked by Western distributors, support is domestic, and a product intended for international markets may face questions about its supply chain. The practical effect inside China is that these vendors are growing. None of this is a comment on the quality of the parts, which varies by family and is best judged from datasheets and your own evaluation. Datasheet process node claims are often undisclosed, and this site writes “undisclosed” rather than guess.
