Ceva has introduced a multi-radio intellectual property package for IoT IC designers that combines Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4 and 802.15.4 modems with a 2.4GHz transceiver aimed at TSMC’s 22nm process. Called Links100 (diagram right), it is the first of a series of IP products (diagram below) that will also include transceivers for Wi-Fi 7 with MLO (multi-link operation), and UWB ...

Ceva has filled-out its NeuPro-M family of neural processing units, and boosted its architecture for generative AI algorithms. “NeuPro-M NPU architecture and tools have been redesigned to support transformer networks in addition to convolutional neural networks,” according to the company. “This enables applications leveraging the capabilities of generative and classic AI to be developed and run on the NeuPro-M NPU.” ...

Arm’s revenues declined slightly in 2019 in a market that grew, says IPnest, reflecting similar situations in 2018 and 2017. Arm’s royalty revenue declined by 6-7%, says IPnest,  but its licensing revenues  – including physical IP – were up 13%. Companies ranked by semiconductor design IP revenue in 2019 (millions of dollars). Source: IPnest (March 2020). ARM once controlled 50% ...

Ceva’s BX DSP cores and Whispro speech recognition software for conversational AI now also support Tensorflow Lite for microcontrollers, a framework for deploying tiny machine learning on  processors in edge devices. Tiny machine learning allows AI to operate in low power, battery operated IoT devices for sensor data analytics of audio, voice, image and motion. Ceva says its approach to ...

Ceva and Bragi have announced a collaboration to drive hearable devices where the user experience is customizable. Target devices include headsets, hearing aids, true wireless stereo earbuds and other smart audio devices. The partnership utilises Ceva’s BX DSP low-power architecture, with its LLVM compiler and Eclipse-based development tool chain, and Bragi 4, an OS specialized for hearables. In conjunction with ...

CEVA has opened an R&D facility in Bristol to access the engineering talent the city has to offer, to strengthen its R&D capabilities and to expedite the development of new digital signal processing and AI products. ‘Bristol has one of the strongest talent bases in the U.K. for digital signal processing, with many highly-skilled and experienced engineers,” says CEVA CEO Gideonn Wertheizer, “this ...

CEVA announces its CEVA-Dragonfly NB2 core for the cellular IoT standardCat-NB2

Ceva is working with Nokia in the development of baseband system-on-chips (SoCs) for 4.9G and 5G wireless infrastructure. Ceva has adapted its CEVA-XC architecture framework to address the massive increase in signal processing complexity in multi-RAT (Radio Access Technology) network architectures. Nokia’s ReefShark SoC is based on 3GPP 5G New Radio specifications, which help offset deployment costs and TCO, while ...

CEVA has introduced PentaG a  5G IP platform for enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB). Compliant to the 3GPP 5G New Radio (NR) Release-15 and software upgradable for Release-16, PentaG is targeted at smartphones, fixed wireless access and the many other embedded devices that can take advantage of multi-gigabit data rates to enable services and use cases such as 4K video streaming, ...

CEVA has started licensing  ClearVox – voice input processing algorithms aimed at enhancing speech intelligibility and voice clarity for the CEVA-TeakLite-4 and CEVA-X2 audio/voice DSPs. Voice-enabled speakers have to cope with multi-mic beamforming, multi-channel acoustic echo cancellation and noise suppression in their products. The ClearVox algorithms cope with different acoustic scenarios and microphone configurations, including optimized software for speaker direction of ...
