Research and Development [Abstract]
Research and Development	RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT During the second quarter of 2012, we entered into a best efforts co-development agreement (the "Co-development Agreement") with a customer to defray a portion of the research and development expenses we expect to incur in connection with our development of an IC product to be sold exclusively to the customer. We expect our development costs to exceed the amounts received from the customer under the Co-development Agreement, and although we expect to sell units of the product to the customer, there is no commitment or agreement from the customer for such sales at this time. Additionally, we retain ownership of any modifications or improvements to our pre-existing intellectual property and may use such improvements in products sold to other customers. The initial $3,500 due under the Co-development Agreement was received within sixty days of contract signing and two additional payments of $1,750 are each payable upon completion of certain development milestones. As amounts become due and payable without recourse, they are offset against research and development expense up to the amount of related costs incurred. We recognized an offset to research and development expense of $3,063 and $437 during the third and second quarters of 2012, respectively.
