ParthusCeva`s NavStream(TM) 3000 is an advanced GPS platform offering unrivalled location performance in terms of accuracy, time-to-location fix and programmability, enabling GPS technology to be deployed across multiple markets and applications. Under the agreement between ParthusCeva and the US Department of Defense, ParthusCeva will design a high performance GPS digital ASIC (Application Specific Integrated-Circuit) to meet the stringent performance criteria required for a next generation location and tracking system.

The contract includes the design and supply of GPS Sensor Units (GSU) which will create a location technology capable of taking GPS measurements at a rate greater than 10 times per second, a performance far surpassing existing GPS systems, and for these location measurements to be down-linked to ground stations for processing and logging. ParthusCeva`s system solution also includes a unique low-cost ground processor complete with reference receiver and software that provides for GPS (C-A code) phase recovery using a standard PC platform.

``We chose to work with ParthusCeva because of NavStream`s unique accuracy and rapid location acquisition capabilities of less than three seconds,`` said Dave Powell, NAVAIR`s Joint Advanced Missile Instrumentation Project (JAMI) Deputy Director. ``We have a long and successful partnership with ParthusCeva, and their ability to offer a complete GPS solution is of key importance to our ongoing research, test and evaluation programs.``

``We are delighted to be continuing our relationship with NAVAIR and the US Department of Defense, the sponsor of the JAMI project, for the provision of a state-of-the-art GPS system,`` said Frank Keane, Vice President of Location Technologies at ParthusCeva. ``The contract is superb validation of the unique location capabilities of our NavStream(TM) technology.``

ParthusCeva Announces ChannelStream Serial ATA (SATA) Platform
Tuesday September 16, 7:47 am ET
ChannelStream SATA 1.5Gbps PHY and Protocol solution with proven interoperability and silicon performance licensed to leading semiconductor player in high-speed comms


SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 16, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Intel Developer Forum:
ParthusCeva, Inc. (NasdaqNM:PCVA - News) (London:PCV.L - News), the industry`s leading licensor of Digital Signal Processor (DSP) cores and communications solutions, today announced availability of its scalable, low-power ChannelStream Serial ATA (SATA) platform which combines a SATA 1.5Gbps PHY and Protocol stack for the burgeoning storage interface market. Serial ATA is an evolutionary storage interface standard designed to replace the existing Parallel ATA physical storage interface. SATA allows for significantly improved performance and reliability for data transfer in a low-cost, low-power solution. ChannelStream SATA targets ASICs, FPGAs and standard semiconductor products for SATA Host & Device Controller, SAN/NAS & RAID, CD/DVD Drive and SATA Router Switch Mux (RSM) applications.

Developed by ParthusCeva`s Wireline Communications Division, ChannelStream SATA delivers compliant SATA Gen-1 performance at 80mW per channel power. The TSMC 0.13mm PHY (physical layer which includes an integrated digital Out of Band (OOB) processor, K28.5 COMMA detector and fully integrated clock synthesis) can be intelligently scaled to support power-efficient multi-port/lane applications. ChannelStream SATA`s synthesizable protocol stack is a synchronous RTL design for the Link, Transport and Command layers. The stack includes a transport layer interface especially designed for high-performance integrated applications, whilst the digital OOB approach delivers exceptional PHY power performance in a very small footprint.

ChannelStream SATA has already been licensed to a leading semiconductor company. In addition, interoperability has been achieved with leaders such as Seagate Barracuda, Western Digital Raptor and Maxtor Diamond-Plus drives.

ChannelStream SATA is a member of ParthusCeva`s ChannelStream family, providing solutions for implementing high-speed communications on ASSPs/ASICs/SoCs, covering standards ranging in speeds from 250Mbps to 3.125Gbps. Other ChannelStream standards covered include LVDS and Fibre-Channel / Gigabit Ethernet.

``ChannelStream gives our customers a high-performance solution with the lowest risk when integrating SATA technology into new or upgraded products,`` said Paddy McWilliams, ChannelStream SATA Product Manager at ParthusCeva. ``Our customers value not only the quality and technical compliance of our products but also the commercial security in dealing with a leading IP provider.``

``Serial ATA technology is poised to become a dominant storage technology in systems ranging from the desktop to the enterprise,`` says Jeremey Donovan, chief analyst at Gartner Dataquest. ``The Serial ATA semiconductor market will approach $1 billion in 2006.``
