Ceva, Inc. has launched Ceva-Waves Links, a new family of multi-protocol wireless platform IPs. Addressing smart-edge device connectivity, the Links family supports today’s wireless standards to meet the demand for enhanced connectivity in consumer IoT, industrial, automotive and personal computing markets. These IPs include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and IEEE 802.15.4 (for Thread/Zigbee/Matter), offering qualified, easy-to-integrate, multi-protocol wireless communications subsystems with optimized co-existence schemes and adapted to a variety of radios and configurations.

The latest family leverages the rebranded Ceva-Waves portfolio of wireless connectivity IPs, previously known as RivieraWaves. The Ceva-Waves Links100, the first IP in the family, is a low-power, Wi-Fi 6/Bluetooth 5.4/802.15.4 communications subsystem IP for IoT connectivity.
Key features of the Links100 include Wi-Fi 6 optimized for cost-sensitive IoT, Bluetooth 5.4 Dual Mode to support advanced Bluetooth Audio with Auracast and with a suite of Bluetooth profiles as well as IEEE 802.15.4 for Thread, ZigBee and Matter for smart-home applications. It is pre-integrated with a low-power multi-protocol radio via TSMC’s 22-nm process node.
Upcoming Ceva-Waves Links platforms may include advanced Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 with MLO to address a variety of applications from power-efficient IoT to high-speed data streaming, Ceva said. Other future features include next-generation Bluetooth for channel sounding and high data throughout, UWB that supports FiRa 2.0, CCC Digital Key 3.0 and radar for micro-location and sensing features as well as pre-integrated radio solutions (partners and customer’s own technology).
Ceva will showcase its wireless and edge-AI sensing IP at Embedded World 2024, April 9-11, in hall 4, stand 462.
