Ceva offering optimized Skype SILK Super Wideband Speech Codec

CEVA, Inc. has made available of the popular Skype SILK super wideband speech codec on a DSP core optimized for the 32-bit CEVA-TeakLite-III family of audio DSPs and forward compatible with future versions of the widely-used CEVA-TeakLite DSP architecture.

CEVA says its TeakLite-III DSP is the only mass market proven native 32-bit DSP IP core that has been specifically architected to address these stringent wideband codec performance requirements.

"We are pleased to add support for this highly popular voice codec to the more than 90 other voice and audio codecs in the CEVA-TeakLite ecosystem. Skype has gained worldwide penetration as a reliable and widely available voice communications application that can be used in a variety of end products. The combination of our native 32-bit processing with the low power capabilities of the CEVA-TeakLite-III DSP will benefit product developers who wish to efficiently incorporate Skype support into their devices," said Moshe Sheier, director of product marketing at CEVA.
