CEVA, Inc. announced that it has joined the Samsung Advanced Foundry Ecosystem (SAFE) to streamline chip design and accelerate time-to-market for CEVA licenses using Samsung's advanced foundry processes. Samsung Foundry is offering competitive processes, design technologies, IP, and high-volume manufacturing capability for customers. The full suite of advanced process technologies includes 28FD-SOI, 14/10/8/5/4nm FinFet, and 3nm GAA with EUV technology from 5nm.
CEVA's IPs are already in production at Samsung's foundries in multiple process technologies for a wide range of end markets, including 5G infrastructure, automotive, surveillance and consumer electronics. The collaboration further aims to reduce supply chain risks by expanding the advanced manufacturing process options available to CEVA customers, certifying CEVA's industry-leading wireless connectivity and sensing AI IPs for Samsung's foundry offerings to enable seamless integration into chip and chiplet designs. The Samsung SAFE IP Partner Program is the key part of Samsung Advanced Foundry Ecosystem ("SAFE) aiming to create a strong ecosystem between Samsung Foundry and IP partners, to provide diverse IP portfolios in various application fields, based on customer's requirements.
The portfolio consists of dedicated as well as foundation IPs designed for performance-intensive applications.
Ceva, Inc. is a licensor of silicon and software intellectual property (IP) that enables smart edge devices to connect, sense and infer data. The Company powers the connectivity, sensing, and inference in advanced smart edge products across consumer Internet of Things (IoT), mobile, automotive, infrastructure, industrial, and personal computing. Its application software IP is licensed primarily to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) who embed it in their System on Chip (SoC) designs to enhance the user experience, and OEMs also license its hardware IP products and solutions for their SoC designs to create power-efficient, intelligent, secure, and connected devices. From Bluetooth connectivity, Wi-Fi, ultra-wide band (UWB) and fifth generation (5G) platform IP for communications, to scalable Edge AI neural processing unit (NPU) IPs, sensor fusion processors and embedded application software that make devices smarter, it has the portfolio of IP to connect, sense and infer data.
