EPM7128QC160-15 Has 2500 Usable Gates

EPM7128QC160-15 is a high performance EEPROM-based programmable logic device from Altera using its second-generation MAX architecture. It can be programmed and erased up to 100 times and reprogrammed for fast and efficient iterations during debug cycles as well during design development.

EPM7128QC160-15 has 128 macrocells, each of which can be individually configured for sequential or combinatorial logic. The logic-array, the product-term select matrix, and the programmable register make up the macrocell. There can be 5 product terms per macrocell because the combinatorial logic is implemented in the logic array.

Protect Your Information

The MAX 7000 technology used in the EPM7128QC160-15 comes with a programmable security bit to protect your information by controlling access to the data that is programmed into the device. By programming this bit, your proprietary information that you’ve implemented into the product cannot be copied or retrieved, creating an incredible amount of design security. The only way to reset this security feature is to reprogram the entire device, basically making your information completely safe in the product. EPM7128QC160-15 makes your information invisible to outsider when the security bit is enabled and makes it disappear if they try to disable the security feature.

This FPGA has been around awhile but it still a good choice for prototype designs - USBid.com has them available for sale.
