DSP Cores

CEVA markets a family of synthesizable programmable DSP cores, each delivering a different balance of performance, power dissipation and cost, allowing customers to select a core ideally suited to their target application. The ability to match processing power to the application is an important consideration when designers select a DSP supplier. Our family of cores is largely software compatible, meaning that software from one core can be applied to another which significantly reduces investment in code development, tools and designer training.

System Platforms & IP

Designers today face escalating design costs and shrinking design timelines combined with ever decreasing probability of right-first-time silicon. To further reduce the cost, complexity and associated risk in bringing products to market, CEVA has developed a range of sub system platforms which combine selected hardware peripherals which are essential to designers deploying CEVA DSP cores. Our sub system platforms contain a collection of peripherals such as on-chip data and program memory controllers, high-performance DMA controller, Buffered Time Division Multiplexing Port (BTDMP), high-throughput Host Processor Interface (HPI), and Power management unit. These hardware platforms are designed to be easily integrated into existing System-on-Chips (SoCs), providing standard protocols and interfaces such as AHB and APB bridges for Host-DSP efficient communications.

Application Platforms

CEVA Application Platforms consist of a family of application-specific full system solutions. Platforms typically integrate a CEVA DSP core, hardware subsystem and application-specific (e.g. video processing) software and logic. Our family of platforms spans multimedia (HD audio, portable audio, video, image), voice (VoIP), connectivity (Bluetooth) and high-speed serial communications (SATA, SAS). CEVA IP Platforms fundamentally reduce the complexity, cost of ownership, and time-to-market for products developed utilizing the platforms.

Foundry Hard Macros

CEVA DSP cores, System Platforms and PLLs are available as pre-validated Hard Macros. Using the foundry hard macro version of the IP reduces risk, ensures predictable performance, saves resources, and shortens time to market.
