Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

SEGMENT INFORMATION AND CONCENTRATIONS

In accordance with ASC 280-Segment Reporting ("ASC 280"), the Company has one reportable operating segment which designs, develops, manufactures and markets proprietary semiconductor products, including intellectual property. ASC 280 establishes standards for the way public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and in interim reports to shareholders. The method for determining what information to report is based on management's use of financial information for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. In evaluating financial performance and making operating decisions, management primarily uses consolidated net revenue, gross profit, operating profit and earnings per share. The Company's business units share similar economic characteristics, long term business models, research and development expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company continues to consider itself to have one reportable operating segment at December 30, 2011. The Company will re-assess its conclusions at least annually.
