Cyclone II: End of production and recommended replacements

My personal suggestion would be the Cyclone 10 LP range as it's actually very similar to the Cyclone III, and therefore not too different to a Cyclone II.

Cyclone IV E is another option - but I suggest staying away from a Cyclone V as it's very different.

Depending on what logic / PLL / RAM usage you have, you may need to make some source code changes.

You will not find anything that's pin compatible.
