CEVA-X High-Performance, Low-Power DSP Cores for Multimedia and Communications
Digital signal processing is a key technology that is powering many of today’s fastest growing electronics markets. CEVA is the world’s leading licensor of programmable?DSP Cores?andPlatforms and Solutions.
The CEVA-X family of cores is based on a unique mix of Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) and Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) architectures. The VLIW architecture allows a high level of concurrent instructions processing thus providing extended parallelism, as well as low power consumption. SIMD architecture allows single instructions to operate on multiple data elements resulting in code size reduction and increased performance.
This family of processors offers best-in-class performance, scalability, ease of programmability in C level and flexibility for different applications. The CEVA-X family offers an architecture framework from which multiple DSP designs are derived. Each DSP design is aimed to serve different application needs characterized by performance, power consumption and cost.
