Microchip Technology announced today a partnership with Ceva, Inc., a leading licensor of silicon and software IP for the smart edge. Under the agreement, Microchip will embed Ceva’s NeuPro™ family of neural processing units (NPUs) into its own product lines, providing AI acceleration for both edge devices and data‑center infrastructure.
Ceva’s NeuPro NPUs span a scalable range of performance levels, from ultra‑low‑power microcontrollers to high‑throughput units suitable for generative AI workloads. By integrating the NeuPro Studio AI software development kit into its MPLAB ecosystem, Microchip will offer customers a unified developer experience for training, optimizing, and deploying AI models on its hardware.
The partnership expands Microchip’s total‑system‑solution (TSS) strategy, adding a native AI capability to its broad portfolio of microcontrollers, processors, analog, and FPGA products. This move positions Microchip to capture growing demand for AI‑enabled embedded solutions in industrial, automotive, aerospace, consumer, and communications markets, potentially driving new revenue streams and strengthening customer lock‑in.
By combining Ceva’s proven NPU technology with Microchip’s extensive development tools and manufacturing footprint, the alliance is expected to accelerate time‑to‑market for AI features, enhance product differentiation, and reinforce Microchip’s competitive stance in the rapidly evolving AI‑edge landscape.
