Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Segment InformationThe Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of integrated circuits. The Company operates and tracks its results in one reportable segment based on the aggregation of eight operating segments, which reflects the consolidation of one operating segment into the existing operating segments in the three-months ended August 1, 2020 as a result of a continued refinement of the Company's organizational structure. Due to the current macroeconomic environment, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company elected to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis for one of its reporting units. As a result of this analysis, management concluded that the reporting unit’s fair value exceeded its carrying amount as of the May 2, 2020 assessment date and no risk of impairment existed.

Revenue Trends by End Market

The following table summarizes revenue by end market. The categorization of revenue by end market is determined using a variety of data points including the technical characteristics of the product, the “sold to” customer information, the “ship to” customer information and the end customer product or application into which the Company’s product will be incorporated. As data systems for capturing and tracking this data and the Company's methodology evolve and improve, the categorization of products by end market can vary over time. When this occurs, the Company reclassifies revenue by end market for prior periods. Such reclassifications typically do not materially change the sizing of, or the underlying trends of results within, each end market.
