(Business News & Technology News, 4 Sep 2008)
Fabless semiconductor Percello has licensed the CEVA Inc.'s CEVA-TeakLite-III DSP core for the development of advanced femtocell baseband chipsets.
Femtocell access points are an emerging technology providing low-cost, fully integrated handset services for residential and small business environments. Percello's processor architecture will leverage the powerful and fully programmable CEVA-TeakLite-III DSP to deliver a highly-integrated and cost-effective femtocell solution.
CEVA-TeakLite-III is a third-generation DSP architecture based on the TeakLite family of DSP cores. The dual-MAC, 32-bit processing architecture also features a 10-stage pipeline, enabling the core to reach operating speeds higher than 550MHz. CEVA-TeakLite-III address multiple target applications, including, low-cost 2G/2.5G/3G wireless baseband modems, wideband voice and audio processors, portable media players, femtocells, voice-over-IP residential gateways and High Definition (HD) audio applications requiring advanced audio standards such as Dolby Digital Plus 7.1, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD.
