CEVA-Audio

CEVA-Audio is a low-power, low-cost platform that combines several CEVA-developed technologies including CEVA-TeakLite-II™, the new and enhanced version of the widely-adopted CEVA-TeakLite™ DSP core, a cache memory subsystem, audio peripherals, a comprehensive set of audio codecs and complete tool chain support. CEVA-Audio, a fully synthesizable soft IP, operating at up to 200MHz, is built on a small DSP core and cache memory subsystem, with overall die size of less than two square mm, and 0.1mA/Mhz for stereo MP3 decoder (using TSMC 0.13u G process). It supports all of the industry standard audio and speech codecs, including MP3, WMA, AAC, HE-AAC, Ogg-Vorbis, BSAC, NB-AMR and WB-AMR.

CEVA Mobile-Media

Targeted at mobile multimedia applications for handheld devices such as multimedia phones, smartphones, wireless PDAs and Portable Media Players, Mobile-Media is the only fully programmable, software-based solution to achieve H.264 encode and decode, up to D1 resolution at 30 frames per second. Mobile-Media incorporates a CEVA DSP core, a subsystem of multimedia interfaces and peripherals, together with fully software-optimized video, audio and, imaging. The programmable nature of the platform allows reuse by CEVA's customers for multiple devices and supports future evolution of emerging standards. The platform allows customers to maintain low power consumption and small die size leading to increased battery life and lower cost. Mobile-Media can be easily adapted to any process and foundry due to its fully synthesizable IP.
