Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

The Company recognizes revenue when we satisfy performance obligations as evidenced by the transfer of control of our products or services to customers. In general, the Company generates revenue from product sales, either directly to customers or to distributors. In determining whether a contract exists, we evaluate the terms of the agreement, the relationship with the customer or distributor and their ability to pay. Service revenue is generally recognized over time as the services are performed. For the fiscal years ended September 28, 2019, and September 29, 2018, service revenue is not material. Please refer to Note 1: Basis of Presentation- Revenue Recognition, for additional disclosure on the Company's revenue recognition policy.

The Company reports revenue based on our reportable segments. The Company believes that reporting revenue on this basis provides information about how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Please refer to Note 14: Segment Information, for disclosure of revenue by segment.

Contract Liabilities

Our contract liabilities are primarily related to payments received in advance of satisfying performance obligations, and are reported in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets within accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Contract liabilities increase as a result of receiving new advance payments from customers and decrease as revenue is recognized from customers purchasing product under advance payment arrangements upon meeting the performance obligations.
