GainOnSaleofProductLine [Text Block]

The Company received $100.0 million in cash for the assets and intellectual property and after providing for the write-off of inventory, fixed assets and other costs incurred to complete the transaction, recorded a net gain of $85.4 million in nonoperating income during fiscal 2013. The Company has agreed to provide InvenSense with various transition services subsequent to the closing. The Company may receive additional cash payments, not to exceed $70.0 million, based on the achievement of certain revenue milestones through the first anniversary of the closing date. The sale of the assets and intellectual property related to the microphone product line did not qualify as a discontinued operation as it did not meet the requirement to be considered a component of an entity.
