CEVA Licenses Xpert-Teak DSP Platform To National Semiconductor
Xpert-Teak Provides National With Programmable DSP Platform To Target Wireless, Communication & Automotive Markets
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."
