MediaTek Licenses DSP Core and Subsystem from CEVA

(Business News & Technology News, 22 Apr 2008)

MediaTek Inc., a fabless supplier of semiconductor solutions for wireless communications and digital media, has licensed CEVA Inc.'s CEVA-X DSP core and associated subsystem technology for the development of future product lines.

CEVA-X is a scalable VLIW-SIMD DSP architecture delivering high levels of performance at low power consumption. CEVA-X is uniquely designed as a multipurpose architecture, allowing multiple derivative cores with the optimal performance/price/power point requirements to multiple markets such as 3G and 4G phones, smartphones, personal media players and infrastructure equipment. CEVA-X combines extendibility—the architecture can be extended with user-defined instruction sets—with scalability, supporting between 2 to 16 MAC units as well as additional computational resources and memory bandwidth. CEVA-X enables licensees to efficiently develop software using high-level languages such as C and C++, which reduces the cost of development.
