Broadcom Utilizes CEVA DSP Core To Power Edge Cellular Solution
CEVA-TeakLite DSP Core Powers High Performance EDGE Cellular Chip
SAN JOSE, CA December 15, 2003 - CEVA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA; LSE: CVA), the leading licensor of Digital Signal Processor (DSP) cores and integrated applications to the semiconductor industry, today announced that Broadcom Corporation has deployed the CEVA-TeakLite DSP Core to power the Broadcom® BCM2132 EDGE/GPRS/GSM multimedia baseband processor chip for the rapidly emerging EDGE (Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution) market.
Mobilink Telecom, which Broadcom acquired in 2002, licensed the CEVA-TeakLite DSP Core. Its decision to continue developing EDGE solutions using CEVA-TeakLite underlines CEVA's position as the leading licensor of open, industry-standard DSP cores. CEVA is the number one licensor of DSP technology to the semiconductor industry (Gartner-Dataquest, 2003).
