Phyworks Limited
Phyworks was acquired by Maxim in 2010. Phyworks' chips said "Fie!" to slow telecommunication links. The company offered serializer/deserializer devices and other microchips used in fiber-optic modules for high-speed LAN, SAN, and WAN equipment. The fabless semiconductor company was founded in 2001 by industry veterans; it outsourced production to silicon foundries (contract semiconductor manufacturers), including Taiwan Semiconductor and Jazz Semiconductor. Phyworks touted its chips as being less expensive and less power-hungry than typical devices of the same type.
