"We are constantly seeking to enhance our products with the latest technology and provide our customers with high performance turnkey solutions at attractive price points and a better user experience," said Dr. Zhenyu Zhou, CEO of Actions Semiconductor. "Partnering with CEVA allows us to leverage their industry-leading audio DSP and Bluetooth IP in our next-generation audio SoC designs that integrate multimedia functionality and wireless connectivity."
"We are pleased that Actions Semiconductor, one of China's leaders in portable consumer electronics SoCs, is adopting their advanced audio processing around our CEVA-TeakLite family of DSPs," said Gideon Wertheizer, CEO of CEVA. "We believe our solutions will offer Actions significant time-to-market savings for their next-generation products and enable efficient design reuse across their range of consumer SoCs."
The fully programmable CEVA-TeakLite-4 DSP was specifically designed to address the increasingly complex processing and stringent low power requirements of advanced audio and voice algorithms. The CEVA-TeakLite-4's orthogonal architecture, audio-specific instruction set and advanced power management support provides Actions with a platform with which to implement ultra-low power audio capabilities. The CEVA-Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy IP provides Actions with a cost-effective Bluetooth platform designed with flexibility, portability and configurability in mind, and is ideal for integration into a wide range of embedded applications.
