Ceva, the licensor of silicon and software IP for the smart Edge, announced a long-term partnership with Microchip Technology.
This collaboration will embed Ceva’s NeuPro family of Neural Processing Units (NPUs) in Microchip’s products, accelerating the deployment of scalable AI across its broad range of compute, communication, and security products.
Microchip’s selection of Ceva’s NeuPro family, spanning NPUs for the smallest embedded applications to those required for Generative AI, reflects a strategic commitment to deliver AI as a native capability in billions of devices. This reinforces Microchip’s leadership across industrial, data centre, aerospace, automotive, consumer, and communications markets. By seamlessly incorporating Ceva’s NeuPro Studio – a unified AI Software Development Kit (SDK) for the NeuPro NPU family – into its own SDK, Microchip can deliver a comprehensive developer experience to its customers to train, import, optimise, and deploy AI models.
“Microchip is committed to making AI a differentiating capability across our product portfolio,” said Mark Reiten, Corporate Vice President, responsible for AI at Microchip. “Collaborating with Ceva enables us to bring the full power of AI to our products, enabling richer, faster, and more intelligent experiences for our customers.”
“AI is becoming foundational across devices, systems and infrastructure,” said Amir Panush, CEO of Ceva. “Our partnership with Microchip reflects this industry-wide shift. By providing scalable NPU technology together with NeuPro Studio, we enable Microchip to extend its leadership and deliver AI-driven innovation directly to their customers.”
