5G NR IP Platform for Smartphones and Broadband Connected Devices
PentaG™ is industry’s first 5G NR IP platform capable of meeting the extreme performance, low latency and strict power budget requirements of 3GPP 5G UE solution for eMBB devices. It leverages CEVA’s unique expertise in DSP and modem architecture from working with world-leading wireless chip and OEM vendors.
The PentaG™ architecture contains specialized scalar and vector DSP processors, co-processors, AI processor, accelerators, software and other essential IP blocks, in a highly configurable and modular architecture.
PentaG™ supports the full gamut of 5G eMBB use cases, including standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA), mmWave and sub-6 GHz. It also supports LTE-A Pro (Gigabit LTE) and legacy LTE and 3G technologies. The platform sustains an impressive bit-rate of more than 10Gbps and offers a scalable architecture to support all advanced wireless technologies such as Massive-MIMO, beamforming and complex link adaptation schemes.
PentaG™ offers an optimal tradeoff between hardware and software to meet the stringent power and area requirements of 5G eMBB use cases and yet retain full flexibility to guarantee 5G NR Rel 15 and Rel 16 future-proofness.
