Aeluros Inc was a semiconductor company developing integrated circuits for wireline communications - for Ethernet operating at 10 Gigabits per second. The company was founded in 2001, [1] and produced physical layer ICs used in 10 Gigabit Ethernet line cards and optical modules (such as XENPAK, SFP, XFP).
Aeluros was the first to produce a XAUI transceiver dissipating less than 1 Watt of power, [2] [3] a transceiver that can drive directly a 10 Gbit/s VCSEL, [4] and a transceiver with integrated electronic dispersion compensation for 10 Gigabit Ethernet using Multi-mode optical fiber. [5]
Aeluros merged with NetLogic Microsystems in October 2007 in a deal exceeding $70M. [6] Netlogic Microsystems was subsequently acquired by Broadcom in February 2012 for $3.7B.
