SEGMENT INFORMATION

SEGMENT INFORMATION

We manage our business on the basis of one reportable segment, as a manufacturer of semiconductors in different geographic areas, including the United States, Europe and Asia. We derive revenue from sales of our high-performance analog/mixed-signal integrated circuits and power and high-reliability individual component semiconductors. These products include individual components as well as integrated circuit solutions that enhance customer designs by improving performance, reliability and battery optimization, reducing size or protecting circuits. The principal markets that we serve include Communications, Defense & Security, Aerospace and Industrial. We evaluate sales by end-market based on our understanding of end market uses of our products.

Net sales by geographic area based on a customer's ship-to location and by estimated end market are as follows (amounts in thousands):
