Please check "PCN# 13A-10" document for more information why ispPAC-POWR1208 was discontinued. Basically, one of Lattice's fab partners, which produces this part number, ceases its operations. Shifting to another fab facility requires retooling of the chip which will incur additional costs. This is quite impractical for an old product. Lattice instead opted to develop a second generation of the product in another facility which will benefit Lattice's customers when it comes to cost and functionality.

ispPAC-POWR1014A-01TN48I is not a direct drop-in replacement for ispPAC-POWR1208-01TN44E. The newer product comes with more pins but with a smaller form factor. (48-pins_TQFP_9x9Body versus the old 44-pins_TQFP_12x12Body)
