San Jose, CA - February 09, 2004 - CEVA, Inc., (NASDAQ: CEVA;
LSE: CVA), the leading licensor of Digital Signal Processor (DSP) cores
and communication solutions to the semiconductor industry, today announced
that National Semiconductor Corporation has licensed CEVA's Xpert-Teak DSP
open-framework for integration into products addressing the wireless,
communication and automotive markets.

Xpert-Teak is a complete DSP open-framework, built around CEVA's
low-power, high-performance Teak DSP core that integrates the complete
range of system peripherals including memory, DMA and system interfaces.
Delivered as a pre-integrated DSP platform, Xpert-Teak provides National
Semiconductor with cost and time-to-market advantages over the more
traditional approach of licensing a core without the associated subsystem
peripherals already integrated. Today's announcement builds on a previous
licensing agreement between CEVA and National Semiconductor for CEVA-Teak
DSP technology.

"National's licensing of Xpert-Teak builds upon our existing
relationship with CEVA, and will enable us to more rapidly deploy
leading-edge DSP solutions in one programmable platform," said Malcolm
Humphrey, Product Line Director for the Device Connectivity Division at
National Semiconductor. "Adding CEVA's best-in-class portfolio of
integrated DSP technologies to National's popular CP3000 family of
connectivity processors promises our customers a powerful and cost
effective integration roadmap for their next generation systems."

"CEVA has enjoyed a long-term relationship with National Semiconductor
spanning both analog and DSP technologies, and given our success in the
past, we are especially pleased to extend our relationship through our
Xpert-Teak technology," said Barry Nolan, Vice President, Marketing &
Corporate Communications at CEVA. "CEVA Xpert-Teak DSP subsystem offers
partners such as National Semiconductor an ideal platform for developing
connected digital multimedia applications quickly and efficiently."
