Are you looking for a drop in functional replacement, or a next generation solution that will require a new PCB design?
If the former, you are out of luck. That series went EOL years ago. Microchip/Atmel offers a direct functional drop in
replacement for some members of the EPM7xxx series, but only 128 macrocells or smaller, and not a 208p package.
For reference it is the ATF1500 series of programmable CPLD parts. Functional clones of the Altera EPM7000 series.
Current production, and they have tools to translate Altera .POF files to their .JED program file format.
But as I mentioned above they don't support more than 128 macrocells nor do they have a 208p package option.
If the latter, it depends on what package options you require, what I/O and system voltages you want, and how much
redesign you are capable of doing. I would have to assume you have the source verilog/vhdl, else you are going to be
in a bit of a pickle as is said.
You might want to look at either the MaxII, MaxV, or Max10 series parts that are in production now and will be for years.
Hi, I've looked over the MaxV series and saw that 100-TQFP and 144-TQFP seem to be close options. Can you provide all of the available part numbers for this series?
Thanks,

I would suggest that you start here:

Hi thanks, I took a look, and it seems 5M240Z, 5M570Z, and 5M1270Z could be close to what we are looking for. Would you be able to verify the following attributes for all of these. I am having trouble with understanding the information written in the handbook, and I just want to make sure I am reading it correctly. I also was not able to find the package dimensions:
Package size (dimensions)
Operating Supply voltage
Technology
Power
Speed Grade
Operating Temperature
Max Operating Frequency
Propagation delay
Delivery package
Memory type
# of usable gates
Macrocells
# of Logic array blocks
# of user I/O pins
Density (# or High/Low)
Thanks for your help with this,

Hi,
Also I am uncertain as to what C4, C5, and I5 stand for in the tables. I have attached an image of what I am referring to:
