| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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 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: wireless communications, wired infrastructure and industrial & other. 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. 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. Our fiscal year ending November 3, 2013, or fiscal year 2013, is a 53-week fiscal year, with our first fiscal quarter containing 14 weeks. The first quarter of our fiscal year 2013 ended on February 3, 2013, the second quarter will end on May 5, 2013, the third quarter will end on August 4, 2013 and the fourth quarter will end on November 3, 2013. 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, comprehensive income 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 28, 2012, or fiscal year 2012, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on December 17, 2012. The operating results for the fiscal quarter ended February 3, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending November 3, 2013, or fiscal year 2013, or for any other future period. The balance sheet data as of October 28, 2012 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. We seek to mitigate our 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 largely diversified, due to the large number of entities comprising our customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographies. We also mitigate collection risks from our customers by performing 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. Three customers accounted for 25%, 12% and 11%, respectively, of our net accounts receivable balance at February 3, 2013. One customer accounted for 32% of our net accounts receivable balance at October 28, 2012. For the fiscal quarters ended February 3, 2013 and January 29, 2012, one customer represented 21% and 17% of our net revenue, respectively. 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):
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 quarters ended February 3, 2013 and January 29, 2012 excluded the potentially dilutive effect of weighted-average outstanding equity awards (options, RSUs, and ESPP rights) to acquire 2 million ordinary shares each, 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 February 3, 2013 and October 28, 2012, we had $30 million and $48 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 unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows in the period they are paid. Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we adopted the updated guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, related to goodwill impairment testing, which reduces 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 is no longer 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 adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on our results of operations and financial position. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we adopted guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income issued by the FASB, which requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders' equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income 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. Upon adoption of this guidance, we have separately reported unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and the adoption did not have a significant impact on our results of operations and financial position. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we adopted updated guidance on indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test issued by the FASB. 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. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on our results of operations and financial position. Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted In February 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance on reporting on reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). This guidance seeks to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in this guidance supersede the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in previously issued guidance. This guidance will be effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2014. The adoption of this guidance will affect the presentation of comprehensive income but will not impact our financial condition or results of operations. |

| 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 trading securities investments, investment funds—deferred compensation plan assets and available-for-sale securities investments. We measure trading securities investments, 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. 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 activities during the fiscal quarter ended February 3, 2013. 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 was accounted for under the cost method and was 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 during the fiscal quarter ended February 3, 2013. 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 February 3, 2013. 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 February 3, 2013, 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 February 3, 2013. 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 We filed a prospectus supplement, dated December 6, 2012, with the SEC relating to sale of 21,490,022 of our ordinary shares by shareholders affiliated with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and Silver Lake, and by our President and Chief Executive Officer in a registered public offering. This transaction closed on December 12, 2012. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares sold in this offering other than approximately $1.5 million in aggregate options exercise price proceeds from a selling shareholder who exercised options for the purpose of selling shares in this offering. Share Repurchase Program Under the 2012 share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors, or the Board, pursuant to the 2012 share purchase mandate previously approved by our shareholders, the Company repurchased and cancelled 0.4 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $13 million in cash during the fiscal quarter ended February 3, 2013. The weighted average purchase price per share repurchased was $32.92 for the fiscal quarter ended February 3, 2013. All repurchased shares were immediately retired.

For the fiscal quarter ended February 3, 2013, expected volatility is based on the combination of historical volatility of guideline publicly-traded companies and our own historical share price volatility over the period commensurate with the expected life of the awards and the implied volatility from traded options in guideline publicly-traded companies and our own shares with a term of 180 days or greater measured over the last three months. Effective for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 we updated our guideline publicly-traded companies based on direct competitors in our target markets. Prior to fiscal year 2013, expected volatility was based on the combination of historical volatility of our previous group 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 February 3, 2013 and January 29, 2012 were $13.32 and $15.14, respectively. The weighted-average fair values of the rights to purchase shares in the ESPP for the fiscal quarters ended February 3, 2013 and January 29, 2012 were $11.54 and $12.74, respectively. The weighted-average fair values of RSUs granted in the fiscal quarter ended February 3, 2013 and January 29, 2012 were $34.83 and $31.99, respectively. Total compensation cost of options granted but not yet vested as of February 3, 2013 was $106 million, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average service period of 3 years. The total grant-date fair values of options vested during fiscal quarter ended February 3, 2013 and January 29, 2012 were $8 million and $5 million, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to the ESPP as of February 3, 2013 was not material, and is expected to be recognized over the remaining portion of the current offering period under the ESPP, which ends on March 14, 2013. Total compensation cost related to unvested RSUs as of February 3, 2013 was $24 million, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average service period of 3 years. The total grant-date fair values of RSUs vested during fiscal quarter ended February 3, 2013 and January 29, 2012 were immaterial. 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 total intrinsic values of options exercised during fiscal quarter ended February 3, 2013 and January 29, 2012 were $25 million and $10 million, respectively. The following table summarizes the ranges of outstanding and exercisable option awards as of February 3, 2013 (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 ended February 3, 2013 and January 29, 2012. Employee Share Purchase Plan No shares related to the ESPP were issued during the fiscal quarters ended February 3, 2013 and January 29, 2012. As at February 3, 2013, 9.5 million shares remained available for issuance under the ESPP. |

| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes For the fiscal quarter ended February 3, 2013, we recorded an income tax provision of $1 million compared to $5 million for the fiscal quarter ended January 29, 2012. The tax expense for the quarter ended February 3, 2013 included a benefit of $3 million from the enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act, which was signed into law on January 2, 2013, retroactively extending the U.S. Federal Research and Development tax credit from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2013. The remaining $1 million decrease in tax provision is primarily due to change in the jurisdictional mix of income and expense. |

| Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
| Segment Information | Segment Information 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. 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 February 3, 2013 for the fiscal periods noted (in millions).
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. We also make purchases from a variety of vendors in connection with the expansion of our Fort Collins internal fabrication facility. These purchases are typically conducted on a purchase order basis and the amount shown in the table includes $37 million in cancelable and non-cancelable outstanding purchase obligations under such purchase orders as of February 3, 2013. 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 quarter of fiscal year 2013 from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2012. 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. As a result, no amounts have been accrued or disclosed in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to these legal proceedings. 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. 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 There were no material changes to our warranty accrual during the quarter ended February 3, 2013. Indemnifications to Hewlett-Packard and Agilent Agilent Technologies, Inc., or 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. We are the successor to the Semiconductor Products Group, or SPG, of Agilent, which we acquired on December 1, 2005, which we refer to as the SPG Acquisition. 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 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 unaudited 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. |

| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
| Fiscal Periods | Fiscal Periods. We operate on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to October 31. Our fiscal year ending November 3, 2013, or fiscal year 2013, is a 53-week fiscal year, with our first fiscal quarter containing 14 weeks. The first quarter of our fiscal year 2013 ended on February 3, 2013, the second quarter will end on May 5, 2013, the third quarter will end on August 4, 2013 and the fourth quarter will end on November 3, 2013. |
| Information | 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, comprehensive income 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 28, 2012, or fiscal year 2012, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on December 17, 2012. The operating results for the fiscal quarter ended February 3, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending November 3, 2013, or fiscal year 2013, or for any other future period. The balance sheet data as of October 28, 2012 presented is derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. |
| Use of estimates | 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. |
| 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. We seek to mitigate our 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 largely diversified, due to the large number of entities comprising our customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographies. We also mitigate collection risks from our customers by performing 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. Three customers accounted for 25%, 12% and 11%, respectively, of our net accounts receivable balance at February 3, 2013. One customer accounted for 32% of our net accounts receivable balance at October 28, 2012. For the fiscal quarters ended February 3, 2013 and January 29, 2012, one customer represented 21% and 17% of our net revenue, respectively. |
| 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 quarters ended February 3, 2013 and January 29, 2012 excluded the potentially dilutive effect of weighted-average outstanding equity awards (options, RSUs, and ESPP rights) to acquire 2 million ordinary shares each, 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 February 3, 2013 and October 28, 2012, we had $30 million and $48 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 unaudited condensed 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 2013, we adopted the updated guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, related to goodwill impairment testing, which reduces 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 is no longer 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 adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on our results of operations and financial position. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we adopted guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income issued by the FASB, which requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders' equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income 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. Upon adoption of this guidance, we have separately reported unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and the adoption did not have a significant impact on our results of operations and financial position. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we adopted updated guidance on indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test issued by the FASB. 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. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on our results of operations and financial position. |
| Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted [Policy Text Block] | Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted In February 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance on reporting on reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). This guidance seeks to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in this guidance supersede the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in previously issued guidance. This guidance will be effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2014. The adoption of this guidance will affect the presentation of comprehensive income but will not impact our financial condition or results of operations. |
