SAN JOSE, Calif. - January 24, 2006 - CEVA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA;
LSE: CVA), the leading licensor of digital signal processor (DSP) cores,
multimedia, GPS and storage platforms to the semiconductor industry, today
announced the first available silicon of its Mobile-Media2000™ solution,
the industry's first truly software-programmable multi-function platform
that supports all key standards for mobile multimedia applications. The
first chips were produced on a 130nm process from United Microelectronics
Corporation (UMC) and exceeded 400MHz.

The Mobile-Media2000 platform's unique combination of high-performance
hardware platform, a complete set of optimized multimedia codecs, and
application layer firmware integrates video, audio, voice and imaging into
a single fully-programmable solution. It is a comprehensive solution based
on the production-proven CEVA-X1620 DSP core and an application-specific
DSP subsystem, the CEVA-XS1200 core.

The platform provides designers an efficient and flexible way to
develop a wide range of portable devices such as multimedia phones,
Smartphones, PDAs, portable media players, digital cameras, camcorders and
surveillance equipment. The powerful performance and software-programmable
capabilities of Mobile-Media2000 enable it to support a range of
leading-edge multimedia standards, including H.264 encoding and decoding
up to D1 resolution at 30 frames-per-second without requiring hardware
acceleration, while meeting the low-power specifications of portable
devices.

The silicon-proven CEVA-XS1200 hardware platform integrates the
CEVA-X1620 DSP core with a rich set of peripherals, system interfaces,
memories and interconnections. Among the integrated peripherals are an
autonomous 3D DMA engine, a power management unit, and 4 TDM (Time
Division Multiplexing) ports supporting a full range of standard serial
interfaces. The platform also integrates 64KB of L1 data memory, 64KB of
L1 program memory and two blocks of 128KB each of unified L2 memory.

"This important milestone underscores our commitment to bring
leading-edge, complete hardware and software platforms to the
semiconductor industry," said Gideon Wertheizer, CEO of CEVA. "Our
Mobile-Media2000 platform enriches our product portfolio to provide a
portable multimedia solution optimized for emerging applications such as
Mobile TV, Personal Video Players and 3G phones."
