What CEVA INC does
In the company’s own words
Ceva, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA) is a leading provider of silicon and software intellectual property enabling Physical AI—the intelligence embedded directly into billions of connected devices. The company operates at www.ceva-ip.com and serves as the only IP company with established leadership across all three foundational layers of Physical AI: connect, sensing, and inference capabilities.
The company's comprehensive portfolio spans three primary solution pillars. The Connect segment provides wireless connectivity IP across Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ultra-Wideband, cellular IoT, and 5G/5G-Advanced domains, holding approximately 68 percent global market share in wireless connectivity IP. The Sense segment delivers DSP processors and embedded software for audio processing, sensor fusion, vision processing, and spatial computing applications. The Infer segment offers neural processing units and AI acceleration solutions, including the NeuPro-Nano for embedded workloads and NeuPro-M for high-performance generative AI and automotive applications.
Ceva operates under a licensing and royalty business model, generating revenue through upfront licensing fees and recurring per-unit or percentage-based royalties on customer shipments. The company has licensed its IP to hundreds of semiconductor and original equipment manufacturers worldwide, including seven of the world's top ten microcontroller vendors. Devices incorporating Ceva IP have shipped in more than 20 billion units since 2003, with approximately 2 billion devices annually embedding the company's technologies.
The company maintains a global development footprint of more than 400 research and development, support, and sales professionals. As of December 31, 2025, Ceva employed 424 people distributed across Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and the United States, with development centers in France, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Serbia, and the United States. International operations represent a significant portion of the business, with customers in Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and China accounting for 82 percent of total revenues.
Ceva's corporate history traces to its incorporation in Delaware in 1999 as DSP Cores, Inc., with the current company formed in November 2002 through the combination of the DSP IP licensing division of DSP Group, Inc. and Parthus Technologies plc, establishing one of the industry's first dedicated, pure-play IP licensing companies.
