Honored ContributorMAX 10 offers you all that, including the ADC. Adding an external ADC to one of the other low end, cheap families (which don't have an ADC) is likely to end up costing much the same but add more complexity to your board and code.
As Leon suggested, I too recommend you buy a development kit. The max 10 fpga evaluation kit (https://www.altera.com/products/boards_and_kits/dev-kits/altera/kit-max-10-evaluation.html) is ideally suited to your needs and is cheap. Integrated ADC is pretty easy to put to use via Altera's software tools. Arrow's bemicro max 10 (http://parts.arrow.com/item/detail/arrow-development-tools/bemicromax10) is very similar. I'm not aware of any other low-end development boards with ADC's which means you'd need to add a daughter board (or similar) to gain that functionality. If you don't want the ADC (as you suggest) then there are plenty of options. Have a look at some of these: Arrow's bemicro cv (http://parts.arrow.com/item/detail/arrow-development-tools/bemicrocv) Terasic's de0-nano development and education board (http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?language=english&no=593) Terasic's de0 board (http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?language=english&no=364) Cheers, Alex
