Logic density and I/O — what fits
At 10,320 LEs, this part sits at the low end of the Cyclone 10 LP family. It will not hold a soft-core processor with a full peripheral bus, but it handles a handful of SPI/UART bridges, a simple PWM generator, and some combinatorial decode logic. The 176 I/O come in a 256-ball BGA — roughly 70 balls are power or ground, which keeps simultaneous-switching noise manageable.
