Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | Organization and Basis of Presentation Semtech Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company" or "Semtech") is a leading global supplier of high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms. The end customers for the Company’s products are primarily original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") that produce and sell electronics. The Company designs, develops and markets a wide range of products for commercial applications, the majority of which are sold into the infrastructure, high-end consumer and industrial end markets. Basis of Presentation The Company reports results on the basis of 52 and 53-week periods and ends its fiscal year on the last Sunday in January. Fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020 consisted of 52 weeks, 53 weeks and 52 weeks, respectively. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income are referred to herein as the "Statements of Income," the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets are referred to herein as the "Balance Sheets" and the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are referred to herein as the "Statements of Cash Flows." In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation, in all material respects, of the consolidated financial statements have been made. All intercompany balances have been eliminated. The Company consolidates entities that are not variable interest entities ("VIEs") when it owns, directly or indirectly, a majority interest in the entity or is otherwise able to control the entity. The Company consolidates VIEs in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, "Consolidation." Entities for which the Company owns an interest, but does not consolidate, are accounted for under the equity method or cost method of accounting as minority investments and are included in “Other Assets” within the Balance Sheets. The ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary of the Company held by outside parties is included in “Noncontrolling Interest” within the Balance Sheets. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
