Based upon the industry s most widely adopted CEVA-XC323 Vector DSP architecture, the CEVA-XC5 DSP vector processor offers the performance, area savings, and power efficiency that system designers demand when implementing a broad range of IoT and M2M communication standards.

The CEVA-XC5 combines highly powerful vector capabilities with a general computation engine to deliver industry-leading performance and exemplary power efficiency for even the most cost-, power-, and die-size-constrained devices. It is ideal for applications where the latest LTE Cat-1 or Cat-M1 standards are used concurrently with Wi-Fi 802.11n, PLC, 802.15.4g, ZigBee/Thread, GNSS, or any other emerging IoT communications standard (including NB-IoT, LPWAN, and Wi-Fi 802.11ah).

Low-power operation is achieved with the Power Scaling Unit (PSU), which enables the CEVA-XC5 to take advantage of new Cat-M1/NB1 features such as Power Saving Mode (PSM) and extended DRX to further reduce power.

The CEVA-XC5 can address a wide range of applications including wear-alone wearables, smart grid, surveillance systems, asset tracking, remote monitoring systems, connected cars, and smart utilities.
