| Overview and Basis of Presentation | Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Overview Avago Technologies Limited, or the “Company”, was organized under the laws of the Republic of Singapore in August 2005. We are the successor to the Semiconductor Products Group, or SPG, of Agilent Technologies, Inc., or Agilent. On December 1, 2005, we acquired substantially all of the assets of SPG from Agilent for $2.7 billion, referred to as the SPG Acquisition. We are a designer, developer and global supplier of analog semiconductor devices with a focus on III-V based products. We offer products in three primary target markets. Our wireless communications, wired infrastructure and industrial and automotive electronics account for the substantial majority of our revenues. Applications for our products in these target markets include cellular phones, consumer appliances, data networking and telecommunications equipment, enterprise storage and servers, factory automation and displays. Our consumer and computing peripherals target market has historically represented a small portion of our total net revenue and we have transitioned from manufacturing and selling products to selling and licensing intellectual property relevant to this market. References herein to “we”, “our”, “us” and “Avago” are to Avago Technologies Limited and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires. Basis of Presentation Fiscal Periods. We operate on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to October 31. The first quarter of our fiscal year 2012 ended on January 29, 2012, the second quarter ended on April 29, 2012, the third quarter ended on July 29, 2012 and the fourth quarter will end on October 28, 2012. Information. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Avago Technologies Limited and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Interim information presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements has been prepared by management and, in the opinion of management, includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for the fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown, and is in accordance with GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended October 30, 2011, or fiscal year 2011, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on December 16, 2011. The operating results for the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending October 28, 2012, or fiscal year 2012, or for any other future period. The balance sheet data as of October 30, 2011 presented is derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. Significant Accounting Policies Use of estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could affect the results of operations reported in future periods. Concentrations of credit risk and significant customers. Our cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk. Cash and cash equivalents may be redeemable upon demand and are maintained with several financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality and therefore bear minimal credit risk. The Company seeks to mitigate its credit risks by spreading such risks across multiple counterparties and monitoring the risk profile of these counterparties. Our accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers located in the U.S. and internationally. Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising our customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographies. We perform regular credit evaluations of our customers’ financial conditions, and require collateral, such as letters of credit and bank guarantees, in certain circumstances. We sell our products through our direct sales force, manufacturers' representatives and distributors. Two customers accounted for 18% and 11%, respectively, of our net accounts receivable balance at July 29, 2012 and these same two customers accounted for 15% and 10%, respectively, of our net accounts receivable balance at October 30, 2011. For the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012, one customer represented 13% and 15% of our net revenue, respectively. For the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended July 31, 2011, no single customer represented 10% or more of our net revenue. Warranty. We accrue for the estimated costs of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. Product warranty costs are estimated based upon our historical experience and specific identification of product requirements, which may fluctuate based on product mix. Additionally, we accrue for warranty costs associated with occasional or unanticipated product quality issues if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The following table summarizes the changes in accrued warranty (in millions):
See Note 11. “Commitments and Contingencies” for further details. Net income per share. Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of ordinary shares and potentially dilutive share equivalents outstanding during the period. Diluted shares outstanding includes the dilutive effect of in-the-money options, restricted share units, or RSUs, and employee share purchase rights under the Avago Technologies Limited Employee Share Purchase Plan, or ESPP. The dilutive effect of such equity awards is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising share options and to purchase shares under the ESPP, the amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when equity awards become deductible for income tax purposes are collectively assumed to be used to repurchase shares. Diluted net income per share for the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012 and the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended July 31, 2011 excluded the potentially dilutive effect of weighted-average outstanding equity awards (options, RSUs, and ESPP rights) to acquire 2 million, 2 million, 1 million, and 1 million ordinary shares, respectively, as their effect was antidilutive. The following is a reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted net income per share computations for the periods presented (in millions, except per share data):
Supplemental cash flow disclosures. At July 29, 2012 and October 30, 2011, we had $50 million and $21 million, respectively, of unpaid purchases of property, plant, and equipment included in accounts payable and other current liabilities. Amounts reported as unpaid purchases will be recorded as cash outflows from investing activities for purchases of property, plant, and equipment in the consolidated statement of cash flows in the period they are paid. Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance In the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, we adopted the updated guidance issued by Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, related to fair value measurements and disclosures, which requires separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 fair value measurements (see Note 6. “Fair Value” for further discussion of fair value measurements). Because this new standard is related primarily to the disclosures required in our financial statements, its adoption has not had a significant impact on our results of operations and financial position. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, we adopted the updated guidance issued by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board on fair value measurement and related disclosure requirements, which changes some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. The adoption of this guidance did not have any significant impact on our results of operations and financial position and disclosures in our financial statements. Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted In July 2012, the FASB issued updated guidance on indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test. This guidance is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, other than goodwill. It allows companies to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary, similar in approach to the goodwill impairment test. This guidance will be effective for our fiscal year ending November 3, 2013, or fiscal year 2013, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this new guidance to have a significant impact on our results of operations and financial position. In September 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance on multi-employer pension plans. This guidance is intended to provide more information about an employer's financial obligations to a multi-employer pension plan and, therefore, help financial statement users better understand the financial health of all of the significant plans in which the employer participates. The updated guidance does not change the current recognition and measurement guidance for an employer's participation in a multi-employer plan. This guidance will be effective for our fiscal year 2012, with early adoption permitted. Other than requiring additional disclosures in our financial statements, we believe the adoption of this guidance will not have a significant impact on our results of operations and financial position. In August 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update on goodwill impairment testing. This guidance is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the goodwill impairment test by providing entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The new guidance will be effective for the first quarter of our fiscal year 2013, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this new guidance to have a significant impact on our results of operations and financial position. In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance is intended to enhance comparability between entities that report under GAAP and those that report under International Financial Reporting Standards and to provide a more consistent method of presenting non-owner transactions that affect an entity’s equity. In accordance with the new guidance, an entity has the option to present total comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements and eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The requirement to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the face of the consolidated statement of income has been deferred by an update issued by the FASB in December 2011. This new guidance should be applied retrospectively and will be effective for the first quarter of our fiscal year 2013, with early adoption permitted. Other than its impact on the presentation of other comprehensive income, we believe the adoption of this guidance will not have a significant impact on our results of operations and financial position. |

| Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair Value | Fair Value Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three level hierarchy is applied to prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the guidance for fair value measurements are described below: Level 1—Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Our Level 1 assets include time deposits, bank acceptances, investment funds—deferred compensation plan assets and available-for-sale securities investments. We measure investment funds and available-for-sale securities investments at quoted market price as they are traded in an active market with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions. Time deposits are highly liquid with maturities of ninety days or less. Bank acceptances are highly liquid with maturities of one hundred and eighty days or less. Due to their short-term maturities, we have determined that the fair value of time deposits and bank acceptances should be their face value. Level 2—Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. We did not have any Level 2 asset or liability activities during the three fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012. Level 3—Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Level 3 assets and liabilities include cost method investments, goodwill, amortizable intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment, which are measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow approach when they are impaired. Quantitative information for Level 3 assets and liabilities reviewed at each reporting period, includes indicators of significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, business prospects of the investee, and financial indicators of the investee's ability to continue as a going concern. We record at cost non-marketable investments where we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence or control and periodically review them for impairment. During fiscal year 2011, we made an investment of $1 million in the common stock of a privately-held non-U.S. company. This equity investment is accounted for under the cost method and is included on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet in other long-term assets. In fiscal year 2011, we also entered into a secured loan and warrant purchase agreement with this company, pursuant to which we provided it with a secured loan of $1 million, at an annual interest rate of 8%, for a term of one year. Based on the quantitative assessment of the financial condition and business prospects of the investee, this equity investment and loan were both determined to be impaired during the fiscal quarter ended January 29, 2012. We did not have any Level 3 asset or liability activities other than those noted above during the three fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012. Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The table below sets forth by level our financial assets that were accounted for at fair value as of July 29, 2012. The table does not include cash on hand and also does not include assets that are measured at historical cost or any basis other than fair value (in millions).
_________________________________
During the fiscal quarter ended July 29, 2012, there were no material transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value instruments. Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis There were no non-financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value as of July 29, 2012. Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments The fair values of cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to the extent the underlying liability will be settled in cash, approximate carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. |

| Shareholders' Equity | Shareholders’ Equity Share Repurchase Program On June 8, 2011, the Company's board of directors, or the Board, authorized the Company to repurchase up to 15 million of its outstanding ordinary shares, not to exceed $500 million in aggregate, or the 2011 share repurchase program. The 2011 share repurchase program expired at the Company's 2012 Annual General Meeting on April 4, 2012, or 2012 AGM. Under the 2011 share repurchase program, the Company repurchased and cancelled 2.8 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $85 million in cash during two fiscal quarters ended April 29, 2012 prior to the expiration of the plan. The weighted-average purchase price per share for shares repurchased was $30.50 for the two fiscal quarters ended April 29, 2012. All repurchased shares were immediately retired. On April 4, 2012, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase up to 15 million of its outstanding ordinary shares, or the 2012 share repurchase program, pursuant to the shareholder approval of the Company's 2012 share purchase mandate received at the Company's 2012 AGM, or the 2012 share purchase mandate. The 2012 share repurchase program will expire at the Company's 2013 Annual General Meeting, unless earlier terminated. Share repurchases will be made in accordance with the terms of the 2012 share purchase mandate, in the open market at such times and in such amounts as the Company deems appropriate. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, market conditions and applicable legal requirements. The 2012 share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended from time to time or terminated at any time without prior notice. Under the 2012 share repurchase program, the Company repurchased and cancelled 0.4 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $15 million in cash during the fiscal quarter ended July 29, 2012. The weighted average purchase price per share repurchased was $34.27 for the fiscal quarter ended July 29, 2012. All repurchased shares were immediately retired. Dividends We paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 and $0.09 per share, or $37 million and $22 million in total during the fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011, respectively. We paid aggregate dividends of $98 million and $59 million during the three fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011, respectively. Share-Based Compensation The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense related to share-based awards granted to employees, directors, and non-employees for the fiscal quarters and three fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 (in millions):
The weighted-average assumptions utilized for our Black-Scholes valuation model for options and ESPP rights granted during the fiscal quarters and three fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 are as follows:
The dividend yields for the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 are based on the dividend yield as of the respective option grant dates. Expected volatility is based on the combination of historical volatility of guideline publicly-traded companies over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options and the implied volatility of guideline publicly-traded companies from traded options with a term of 180 days or greater measured over the last three months. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the average U.S. Treasury Strips rate during the period, which approximates the rate in effect at the time of grant. Our computations of expected term were based on data, such as the data of peer companies and company-specific attributes, that we believe could affect employees’ exercise behavior. Based on the above assumptions, the weighted-average fair values of the options granted under the Company's equity incentive award plans for the fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 were $13.13 and $12.99, respectively, and $14.30 and $12.36 for the three fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011, respectively. The weighted-average fair values of the rights to purchase shares in the ESPP for the fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 were $13.08 and $9.82, respectively, and $12.92 and $7.76 for the three fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011, respectively. The weighted-average fair value of RSUs granted in the fiscal quarter ended July 29, 2012 was $33.03. No RSUs were granted in the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2011. The weighted-average fair values of RSUs granted in the three fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 were $34.61 and $32.39, respectively. Total compensation cost related to unvested options as of July 29, 2012 was $128 million, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average service period of 3 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to the ESPP as of July 29, 2012 was not material, and is expected to be recognized over the remaining portion of the current offering period under the ESPP, which ends on September 14, 2012. Total compensation cost related to unvested RSUs as of July 29, 2012 was $23 million, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average service period of 3 years. Equity Incentive Award Plans A summary of option award activity related to our equity incentive plans is as follows (in millions, except years and per share amounts):
The following table summarizes the ranges of outstanding and exercisable option awards as of July 29, 2012 (in millions, except years and per share amounts):
RSU activity and the number of outstanding RSUs were not material for either of the fiscal quarters and three fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011. Employee Share Purchase Plan The ESPP consists of successive six-month offering periods and permits eligible employees to purchase ordinary shares through payroll deductions, at the end of each offering period, at a price equal to the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of the ordinary shares at either the beginning or ending of the relevant offering period. Deductions may not exceed 10% of an employee's base compensation and an employee may not purchase more than $25,000 worth of shares in any calendar year or offering period, or more than 2,500 shares on any purchase date. The purchase dates under the ESPP are scheduled to occur in March and September of each year, which fall in our second and fourth fiscal quarters, respectively. A total of 0.1 million and 0.2 million shares were purchased under the ESPP for aggregate consideration of $4 million and $3 million during the fiscal quarters ended April 29, 2012 and May 1, 2011, respectively. No shares related to the ESPP were issued during the fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011. As at July 29, 2012, 7.6 million shares remained available for issuance under the ESPP. |

ASC 280 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. We have concluded that we have one reportable segment based on the following factors: sales of semiconductors represents our only material source of revenue; substantially all products offered incorporate analog functionality and are manufactured under similar manufacturing processes; we use an integrated approach in developing our products in that discrete technologies developed are frequently integrated across many of our products; and we use a common order fulfillment process and similar distribution approach for our products. Broad distributor networks are typically used to distribute our products, with large accounts being serviced by a direct sales force. The Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker as defined by ASC 280. |

| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Commitments The following table sets forth changes in our commitments as of July 29, 2012 for the fiscal periods noted (in millions).
Operating Lease Commitments. We lease certain real property and equipment from third parties under non-cancelable operating leases. Purchase Commitments. We have unconditional purchase obligations which include agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on us and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, fixed, minimum or variable price provisions and the approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty. Other Contractual Commitments. Represents amounts payable pursuant to agreements related to outsourced IT, human resources, financial infrastructure outsourcing services and other services agreements. There were no other substantial changes to our contractual commitments during the first three quarters of fiscal year 2012 from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2011. Contingencies From time to time, we are involved in litigation that we believe is of the type common to companies engaged in our line of business, including commercial disputes and employment issues. As of the date of this filing, we are not involved in any pending legal proceedings that we believe would likely have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, from time to time certain disputes involve claims by third parties that our activities infringe their patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights. These claims generally involve the demand by a third-party that we cease the manufacture, use or sale of the allegedly infringing products, processes or technologies and/or pay substantial damages or royalties for past, present and future use of the allegedly infringing intellectual property. For example, on July 23, 2009, TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc., or TriQuint, filed a complaint against us and certain of our subsidiaries in the U.S. District Court, District of Arizona seeking declaratory judgment that four of our patents relating to RF filter technology used in our wireless products are invalid and, if valid, that TriQuint’s products do not infringe any of those patents. TriQuint withdrew those claims with respect to three of those four patents. In addition, TriQuint claimed that certain of our wireless products infringe three of its patents. We filed our answer and initial counterclaim on September 17, 2009, denying infringement, asserting the invalidity of TriQuint’s patents and asserting infringement by TriQuint of ten Avago patents, and filed additional counterclaims on March 25, 2010 for the misappropriation of Avago trade secrets. On October 16, 2009, TriQuint filed its answer to our initial counterclaim, denying infringement and filed an antitrust counterclaim and counterclaims for declaratory judgment of non infringement and invalidity. The court dismissed TriQuint’s antitrust counterclaims on procedural grounds on March 16, 2010, but on August 3, 2010 granted TriQuint's motion to file an amended pleading for its anti-trust claims. Effective May 12, 2012, we entered into a confidential settlement and patent cross-license agreement with TriQuint that resolved these outstanding actions. There was no material impact to our financial position or results of operations as of July 29, 2012 as a result of the confidential settlement. With respect to our legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, we have not yet been able to determine whether an unfavorable outcome is probable or reasonably possible and have not been able to reasonably estimate the amount or range of any possible loss. As a result, no amounts have been accrued or disclosed in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to these legal proceedings. Claims that our products or processes infringe or misappropriate any third-party intellectual property rights (including claims arising through our contractual indemnification of our customers) often involve highly complex, technical issues, the outcome of which is inherently uncertain. Moreover, from time to time we pursue litigation to assert our intellectual property rights. Regardless of the merit or resolution of any such litigation, complex intellectual property litigation is generally costly and diverts the efforts and attention of our management and technical personnel. Warranty Commencing in fiscal year 2008, we notified certain customers of a product quality issue and began taking additional steps to correct the quality issue and work with affected customers to determine potential costs covered by our warranty obligations. We maintain insurance coverage for product liability and have been working with our insurance carriers to determine the extent of covered losses in this situation. Based on settlements with customers and the status of discussions with other affected customers and discussions with our insurance carriers, we recorded a charge of $2 million during fiscal year 2009 to cover costs relating to this quality issue in excess of expected insurance coverage. During the three fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012, we reached a final settlement agreement with a customer on this product quality issue. However, the final settlement amount was fully recovered from our insurance carrier in the same period. Therefore, during the three fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012, we released the $2 million warranty charge, resulting in a $2 million decrease of warranty accrual and cost of goods sold for this product warranty issue. Indemnifications to Hewlett-Packard and Agilent Agilent has given multiple indemnities to Hewlett-Packard Company in connection with its activities prior to its spin-off from Hewlett-Packard Company in June 1999 for the businesses that constituted Agilent prior to the spin-off. As the successor to the SPG business of Agilent, we have acquired responsibility for indemnifications related to assigned intellectual property agreements. Additionally, when we completed the acquisition of SPG from Agilent in December 2005, we provided indemnities to Agilent with regard to Agilent’s conduct of the SPG business prior to the SPG acquisition. In our opinion, the fair value of these indemnifications is not material and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations. Other Indemnifications As is customary in our industry and as provided for in local law in the United States and other jurisdictions, many of our standard contracts provide remedies to our customers and others with whom we enter into contracts, such as defense, settlement, or payment of judgment for intellectual property claims related to the use of our products. From time to time, we indemnify customers, as well as our suppliers, contractors, lessors, lessees, companies that purchase our businesses or assets and others with whom we enter into contracts, against combinations of loss, expense, or liability arising from various triggering events related to the sale and the use of our products, the use of their goods and services, the use of facilities and state of our owned facilities, the state of the assets and businesses that we sell and other matters covered by such contracts, usually up to a specified maximum amount. In addition, from time to time we also provide protection to these parties against claims related to undiscovered liabilities, additional product liability or environmental obligations. In our experience, claims made under such indemnifications are rare and the associated estimated fair value of the liability is not material. |

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could affect the results of operations reported in future periods. |
| Concentration Risk and Significant Customers, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Concentrations of credit risk and significant customers. Our cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk. Cash and cash equivalents may be redeemable upon demand and are maintained with several financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality and therefore bear minimal credit risk. The Company seeks to mitigate its credit risks by spreading such risks across multiple counterparties and monitoring the risk profile of these counterparties. Our accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers located in the U.S. and internationally. Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising our customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographies. We perform regular credit evaluations of our customers’ financial conditions, and require collateral, such as letters of credit and bank guarantees, in certain circumstances. We sell our products through our direct sales force, manufacturers' representatives and distributors. Two customers accounted for 18% and 11%, respectively, of our net accounts receivable balance at July 29, 2012 and these same two customers accounted for 15% and 10%, respectively, of our net accounts receivable balance at October 30, 2011. For the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012, one customer represented 13% and 15% of our net revenue, respectively. For the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended July 31, 2011, no single customer represented 10% or more of our net revenue. |
| Standard Product Warranty, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Warranty. We accrue for the estimated costs of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. Product warranty costs are estimated based upon our historical experience and specific identification of product requirements, which may fluctuate based on product mix. Additionally, we accrue for warranty costs associated with occasional or unanticipated product quality issues if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. |
| Net income per share | Net income per share. Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of ordinary shares and potentially dilutive share equivalents outstanding during the period. Diluted shares outstanding includes the dilutive effect of in-the-money options, restricted share units, or RSUs, and employee share purchase rights under the Avago Technologies Limited Employee Share Purchase Plan, or ESPP. The dilutive effect of such equity awards is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising share options and to purchase shares under the ESPP, the amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when equity awards become deductible for income tax purposes are collectively assumed to be used to repurchase shares. Diluted net income per share for the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended July 29, 2012 and the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended July 31, 2011 excluded the potentially dilutive effect of weighted-average outstanding equity awards (options, RSUs, and ESPP rights) to acquire 2 million, 2 million, 1 million, and 1 million ordinary shares, respectively, as their effect was antidilutive. |
| Segment Reporting | ASC 280 “Segment Reporting,” or ASC 280, establishes standards for the way public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual consolidated financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. ASC 280 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. |
| Supplemental cash flow disclosures | Supplemental cash flow disclosures. At July 29, 2012 and October 30, 2011, we had $50 million and $21 million, respectively, of unpaid purchases of property, plant, and equipment included in accounts payable and other current liabilities. Amounts reported as unpaid purchases will be recorded as cash outflows from investing activities for purchases of property, plant, and equipment in the consolidated statement of cash flows in the period they are paid. |
| New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance In the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, we adopted the updated guidance issued by Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, related to fair value measurements and disclosures, which requires separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 fair value measurements (see Note 6. “Fair Value” for further discussion of fair value measurements). Because this new standard is related primarily to the disclosures required in our financial statements, its adoption has not had a significant impact on our results of operations and financial position. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, we adopted the updated guidance issued by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board on fair value measurement and related disclosure requirements, which changes some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. The adoption of this guidance did not have any significant impact on our results of operations and financial position and disclosures in our financial statements. |
| Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted [Policy Text Block] | Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted In July 2012, the FASB issued updated guidance on indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test. This guidance is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, other than goodwill. It allows companies to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary, similar in approach to the goodwill impairment test. This guidance will be effective for our fiscal year ending November 3, 2013, or fiscal year 2013, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this new guidance to have a significant impact on our results of operations and financial position. In September 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance on multi-employer pension plans. This guidance is intended to provide more information about an employer's financial obligations to a multi-employer pension plan and, therefore, help financial statement users better understand the financial health of all of the significant plans in which the employer participates. The updated guidance does not change the current recognition and measurement guidance for an employer's participation in a multi-employer plan. This guidance will be effective for our fiscal year 2012, with early adoption permitted. Other than requiring additional disclosures in our financial statements, we believe the adoption of this guidance will not have a significant impact on our results of operations and financial position. In August 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update on goodwill impairment testing. This guidance is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the goodwill impairment test by providing entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The new guidance will be effective for the first quarter of our fiscal year 2013, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this new guidance to have a significant impact on our results of operations and financial position. In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance is intended to enhance comparability between entities that report under GAAP and those that report under International Financial Reporting Standards and to provide a more consistent method of presenting non-owner transactions that affect an entity’s equity. In accordance with the new guidance, an entity has the option to present total comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements and eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The requirement to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the face of the consolidated statement of income has been deferred by an update issued by the FASB in December 2011. This new guidance should be applied retrospectively and will be effective for the first quarter of our fiscal year 2013, with early adoption permitted. Other than its impact on the presentation of other comprehensive income, we believe the adoption of this guidance will not have a significant impact on our results of operations and financial position. |
