CEVA, Inc., a provider of wireless connectivity, smart sensing technologies, and custom SoC solutions, has announced its collaboration with the Samsung Advanced Foundry Ecosystem (SAFE). This partnership aims to enhance chip design efficiency and accelerate time-to-market for CEVA licensees by leveraging Samsung’s advanced foundry processes.
Samsung Foundry is offering competitive processes, design technologies, IP (internet protocol), 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 (Global Accounting Alliance) with EUV (extreme ultraviolet) technology from 5nm. CEVA’s IPs are already in production at Samsung’s foundries in multiple process technologies for 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 wireless connectivity and sensing AI (artificial intelligence) IPs for Samsung’s foundry offerings to enable integration into chip and chiplet designs.
“Our collaboration with Samsung Foundry through the SAFE programme brings together a world-leading foundry service and one of the most widely used silicon IP suppliers, to help ensure faster silicon success for our customers in the AI era,” says Moshe Sheier, vice president of marketing at CEVA. “Our IPs for 5G, Wi-Fi, DSP and generative AI at the edge are experiencing exceptional demand globally, and through this partnership we can help drive the proliferation of intelligent connected devices that leverage our industry-leading power efficiency and performance capabilities and Samsung’s state-of-the-art foundry process technologies.”
The Samsung SAFE IP Partner Programme is the part of Samsung Advanced Foundry Ecosystem (SAFE) aiming to create an 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.
