Aeluros Unveils High-Bandwidth Communications IC Technology Breakthrough 40 Gbps CMOS device demonstrates leading integration and low power capabilities. Mountain View, CA, November 4, 2002 - Aeluros, a leader in high-performance, low-power CMOS solutions, today announced its leading-edge technology that establishes a firm foundation for delivering highly-integrated production quality solutions running at speeds of 10 Gbps and higher. Modeled and designed from the ground up to support the ever-increasing demands of high-performance, low-power storage, datacomm and telecomm applications, the Aeluros technology enables equipment manufacturers to successfully integrate digital functionality with multiple 10 Gbps serial links in a single device while still achieving very low power. Aeluros has assembled a world-class team with expertise in device modeling, circuit design, packaging and signal integrity - all the critical components needed to deliver best-in-class high-performance CMOS solutions. The company's leading edge technology has been validated by its Bobcat test chip, a highly integrated device with four full-duplex 10 Gbps serial transceivers and several noise generators that simulate a million gates of integrated digital logic. This four-channel device far exceeds all jitter requirements in the IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet and the Telcordia GR-253 OC-192 SONET jitter specifications for single channel devices. The complex Bobcat device is a first-pass tapeout success, validating the Aeluros deterministic product development method which rests firmly upon the company's demonstrated ability to successfully model all the components of the high-speed circuit, including the transistors, passives, interconnect and package. "Displacing GaAs and SiGe technologies, CMOS is clearly the right choice for the next generation of 10 Gbps physical-layer ICs," said Allan Armstrong, director of communications semiconductors at RHK. "Having demonstrated SONET-quality performance, CMOS opens up the roadmap to integration, offering the possibility of adding valuable digital logic functionality integrated with multiple channels of high-speed transceivers." "Aeluros has assembled a mixed-signal Dream Team that has a proven track record of designing and delivering volume production solutions at gigabit speeds and higher," said Richard Egan, CEO of Aeluros. "Having already validated the accuracy of our device models using our 40 Gbps stress test Bobcat validation vehicle, we can quickly and easily execute on several different 10 Gbps products that fit well with the market needs for high-performance, low-power CMOS devices capable of integrating several million gates of logic." Bobcat Evaluation Board Aeluros has completed all evaluation work on the Bobcat device and is offering a Bobcat evaluation board for customers. This board enables customers to verify the capability to run multiple 10 Gbps serial links on a single CMOS device and can also be used to drive several different 10 Gbps devices on a single board. About Aeluros Aeluros, founded by a team of high-speed design experts with a unique understanding of the intricacies involved in building highly integrated 10 Gbps devices, is a leading developer of high-integration, high-speed CMOS based serial I/O devices. The company's technical and business management team has collectively delivered among the industry's highest volume and technically challenging mixed signal designs. The privately held company has secured a first round of funding from leading venture capital firms New Enterprise Associates and Worldview Technology Partners. Certain statements in this press release, including the statements relating to the company's performance expectations, are forward-looking statements that are subject to uncertainties and risks that could cause results to be materially different than expectations. Such uncertainties and risks include, but are not limited to, difficulties in the fabrication process and dependence of the company on third-party manufacturers, manufacturing and other delays relating to new products, the impact of competitive products and pricing alternatives, and general industry trends including cyclical trends in the semiconductor industry.
