CEVA, Inc. announced that Shenzhen Micro & Nano Institute (MNI) has licensed the CEVA audio/voice DSP for the development of a multi-mic voice processor targeting a range of intelligent hardware systems including robots, smart appliances and the smart home. MNI's advanced voice processing solution supports 8 microphones simultaneously, performing a range of functions to ensure maximum voice clarity and intelligibility in any environment and from any direction. These functions include echo cancellation, beamforming, noise suppression, far-field voice pickup, sound localization and speech recognition, allowing the user's voice to be isolated from any direction. The complexity of the voice algorithm to handle all of these functions requires a significant amount of DSP processing power, which the CEVA DSP delivers with minimal power consumption.
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.
