Ceva and Microchip Partner to Bring NeuPro AI Acceleration Across Edge and Data Center Devices

Ceva, Inc. has announced a long-term partnership with Microchip Technology Inc. to embed its NeuPro family of Neural Processing Units (NPUs) into Microchip’s product range, according to a press release. The collaboration aims to accelerate the deployment of scalable AI across Microchip’s compute, communication, and security platforms.

Microchip will integrate Ceva’s NeuPro Studio, a unified AI software development kit, into its own SDK. This will allow developers to train, import, optimize, and deploy AI models directly onto Microchip’s hardware.

The NeuPro NPU family supports applications from low-power microcontrollers to high-performance systems for generative AI. By incorporating Ceva’s technology, Microchip plans to deliver native AI capabilities across devices used in industrial, automotive, aerospace, and data center markets.
