CEVA is often described as the ARM of digital signal processors (DSPs), licensing its intellectual property to a large number of chip providers for use in many applications including mobile device basebands. The company used MWC 2022 to unveil its latest 5G baseband platform, PentaG2, which it says will streamline the design of radio modems for mobile broadband and IoT networks. CEVA says the second generation of the PentaG modem architecture will reduce the time to develop 5G systems-on-chip (SOCs) and will integrate low power DSPs with specialized programmable accelerators to deliver up to four times better power efficiency than the first generation. The platform is designed to power chipsets that can support many 5G use cases, including emerging 3GPP…
