Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Description of business, including segment information | 1. Description of business, including segment information We design, make and sell semiconductors to electronics designers and manufacturers all over the world. We have two reportable segments, which are established along major categories of products as follows:
| • | Analog – consists of the following product lines: High Volume Analog & Logic, Power Management, High Performance Analog and Silicon Valley Analog.
| • | Embedded Processing – consists of the following product lines: Microcontrollers, Processors and Connectivity.
We report the results of our remaining business activities in Other. Other includes operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds for individually reportable segments and cannot be aggregated with other operating segments. Other includes DLP® products, calculators, custom ASICs and royalties received from agreements involving license rights to our patent portfolio. Our centralized manufacturing and support organizations, such as facilities, procurement and logistics, provide support to our operating segments, including those in Other. Costs incurred by these organizations, including depreciation, are charged to the segments on a per-unit basis. Consequently, depreciation expense is not an independently identifiable component within the segments’ results and, therefore, is not provided. Segment information
