Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Description of business and significant accounting policies and practices

At Texas Instruments (TI), we design and make semiconductors that we sell to electronics designers and manufacturers all over the world. Effective January 1, 2013, we have two reportable segments, which are established along major categories of products as follows:

Ÿ Analog - consists of the following major product lines: High Volume Analog & Logic (HVAL), Power Management (Power), High Performance Analog (HPA) and Silicon Valley Analog (SVA); and

Ÿ Embedded Processing - consists of the following major product lines: Processors, Microcontrollers and Connectivity.

We report the results of our remaining business activities in Other. As previously announced, we restructured our Wireless business to focus our OMAP™ applications processors and connectivity products (formerly Wireless products) on embedded applications with long life cycles. Consistent with this restructuring, effective January 1, 2013, the Wireless segment was eliminated. Financial results for embedded OMAP applications processors and embedded connectivity products, both of which have many of the same characteristics as the products in our Embedded Processing segment, are now reported in that segment. Financial results for baseband products and Wireless products for the smartphone and consumer tablet markets, both of which are product lines that we have announced we are exiting, are included in Other and are collectively referred to as “legacy wireless products.” We also reclassified certain product lines, primarily radio frequency identification (RFID) products, from Other to Embedded Processing.

See Note 11 for the results of our business segments. On May 3, 2013, we filed a Form 8-K to update our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, to reflect these changes. Prior period segment presentations have been recast to conform to this new reporting structure.

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP) and on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and as updated by the Form 8-K. The consolidated statements of income, statements of comprehensive income and statements of cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and the balance sheet as of September 30, 2013, are not audited but reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods shown. Certain amounts in the prior periods’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Because the consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for a complete set of financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as updated by the Form 8-K. The results for the three- and nine-month periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All dollar amounts in the financial statements and tables in these notes, except per-share amounts, are stated in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Earnings per share (EPS)

Unvested awards of share-based payments with rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, such as our restricted stock units (RSUs), are considered to be participating securities and the two-class method is used for purposes of calculating EPS. Under the two-class method, a portion of net income is allocated to these participating securities and, therefore, is excluded from the calculation of EPS allocated to common stock, as shown in the table below.

Computation and reconciliation of earnings per common share are as follows (shares in millions):



	For Three Months Ended September 30, 2013						For Three Months Ended September 30, 2012
	Net Income			Shares	EPS		Net Income			Shares	EPS
Basic EPS:
Net income	$	629					$	784
Less income allocated to RSUs	(11		)				(15		)
Income allocated to common stock for basic EPS calculation	$	618		1,096	$	.56	$	769		1,130	$	.68

Adjustment for dilutive shares:
Stock-based compensation plans				15						11

Diluted EPS:
Net income	$	629					$	784
Less income allocated to RSUs	(11		)				(14		)
Income allocated to common stock for diluted EPS calculation	$	618		1,111	$	.56	$	770		1,141	$	.67



	For Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013						For Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
	Net Income			Shares	EPS		Net Income			Shares	EPS
Basic EPS:
Net income	$	1,651					$	1,495
Less income allocated to RSUs	(29		)				(27		)
Income allocated to common stock for basic EPS calculation	$	1,622		1,102	$	1.47	$	1,468		1,138	$	1.29

Adjustment for dilutive shares:
Stock-based compensation plans				15						15

Diluted EPS:
Net income	$	1,651					$	1,495
Less income allocated to RSUs	(28		)				(27		)
Income allocated to common stock for diluted EPS calculation	$	1,623		1,117	$	1.45	$	1,468		1,153	$	1.27

There were no potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share during the third quarter and the first nine months of 2013. Potentially dilutive securities representing 65 million shares of common stock that were outstanding during both the third quarter and the first nine months of 2012 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share for these periods because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Derivatives and hedging

In connection with the issuance of variable-rate long-term debt in May 2011, we entered into an interest rate swap designated as a hedge of the variability of cash flows related to interest payments. Gains and losses from changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap were credited or charged to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes (AOCI). In connection with the repayment of this long-term debt in the second quarter of 2013, this interest rate swap was settled for no gain or loss. In association with the issuance of long-term debt, we use financial derivatives such as treasury rate lock agreements, the results of which have not been material.

We also use derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to foreign exchange risk. These instruments are primarily forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are used as economic hedges to reduce the earnings impact exchange rate fluctuations may have on our non-U.S. dollar net balance sheet exposures. Gains and losses from changes in the fair value of these forward foreign currency exchange contracts are credited or charged to OI&E. We do not apply hedge accounting to our foreign currency derivative instruments.

We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.

Fair values of financial instruments

The fair values of our derivative financial instruments were not significant at September 30, 2013. Our investments in cash equivalents, short-term investments and certain long-term investments, as well as our deferred compensation liabilities, are carried at fair value and are discussed in Note 5. The carrying values for other current financial assets and liabilities, such as accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value due to the short maturity of such instruments. The carrying value of our long-term debt approximates the fair value as measured using broker-dealer quotes, which are based on Level 2 inputs. See Note 5 for the definition of Level 2 inputs.

Changes in Accounting Standards

In January 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This standard clarifies that a previously issued standard on disclosure requirements of offsetting (or netting) financial instruments applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and certain securities lending transactions. The required disclosures are both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This standard is effective as of the first quarter of 2013 and did not have a material impact on our financial disclosures because the derivatives to which it applies are not significant.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This standard requires an entity to disclose information about amounts reclassified out of AOCI by component and by statement of income line item. This standard is effective as of the first quarter of 2013 and is applied prospectively. See Note 10 for the required disclosure.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for organization, consolidation and basis of presentation of financial statements disclosure.

Acquisition-related charges

Business Combination, Separately Recognized Transactions [Abstract]

Acquisition-related charges

We completed the acquisition of National Semiconductor Corporation (National) in September 2011. Various costs incurred as a result of that acquisition are included in Other, consistent with how management measures the performance of its segments. These total acquisition-related charges are as follows:



	For Three Months Ended September 30,				For Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Acquisition charges:
Amortization of intangible assets	$	81	$	81	$	244	$	244
Retention bonuses	2		5		5		53
Severance and other benefits	—		3		—		17
Stock-based compensation	3		4		8		14
Transaction and other costs	—		13		—		35
As recorded in Acquisition charges	86		106		257		363
Distributor contract termination recorded in COR	—		—		—		21
Total acquisition-related costs	$	86	$	106	$	257	$	384

The amount of recognized amortization of acquired intangible assets resulting from the National acquisition is based on estimated useful lives varying between two and ten years. See Note 6 for additional information.

Retention bonuses reflect amounts already or expected to be paid to former National employees who fulfill agreed-upon service period obligations and are recognized ratably over the required service period.

Severance and other benefits costs were for former National employees who were terminated after the closing date. About 350 jobs were eliminated by the end of 2012 as a result of redundancies and cost efficiency measures. As of September 30, 2013, a total of $86 million in cumulative charges have been recognized, of which $82 million has been paid.

Stock-based compensation was recognized for the accelerated vesting of equity awards upon the termination of employees, with additional compensation being recognized over the applicable vesting period for the remaining grantees.

Transaction and other costs include various expenses incurred in connection with the National acquisition.

In 2011, we discontinued using one of National’s distributors. We acquired the distributor’s inventory at fair value, resulting in an incremental charge of $21 million to COR upon sale of the inventory in 2012.

Restructuring actions related to the acquisition of National are discussed in Note 2 and are reflected on the Acquisition charges line of our Consolidated statements of income.

2012 Wireless action

In November 2012, we announced an action concerning our former Wireless segment that, when complete, is expected to reduce annualized expenses by about $450 million and will focus our investments on embedded markets with greater potential for sustainable growth. This action will be substantially complete by the end of 2013, eliminating about 1,700 jobs worldwide. As of September 30, 2013, $124 million has been paid to terminated employees for severance and benefits related to this action.

2011 actions

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011, we recognized restructuring charges associated with the closure of two older semiconductor manufacturing facilities in Houston, Texas, and Hiji, Japan, in 2013. This action will be substantially complete by the end of 2013. As of September 30, 2013, about $90 million has been paid to terminated employees for severance and benefits related to this action.

The table below reflects the changes in accrued restructuring balances associated with these actions:



	2012 Wireless Action						2011 Actions						Prior Actions
	Severance and Benefits			Other Charges			Severance and Benefits			Other Charges			Severance and Benefits			Other Charges		Total
Remaining accrual at December 31, 2012	$	241		$	—		$	94		$	3		$	5		$	6	$	349

Remaining accrual at September 30, 2013	$	152		$	—		$	17		$	2		$	1		$	6	$	178

(a) Reflects charges for stock-based compensation, impacts of postretirement benefit plans and accelerated depreciation.

The accrual balances above are primarily a component of Accrued expenses and other liabilities or Deferred credits and other liabilities on our Consolidated balance sheets, depending on the expected timing of payment.

Other

Gain on technology transfer

During the second quarter of 2013, we entered into an agreement to transfer wireless connectivity technology to a customer. This technology was associated with the former Wireless business that we have previously announced we are exiting. As a result, we recognized a gain of $315 million.

Gain on transfer of Japan substitutional pension

During the third quarter of 2012, we transferred the obligations and assets of the substitutional portion of our Japan pension plan to the government of Japan, resulting in a net gain of $144 million. See Note 7 for additional details.

Income taxes	9 Months Ended
Income taxes	Sep. 30, 2013
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income taxes	Income taxes Federal income taxes for the interim periods presented have been included in the accompanying financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. As of September 30, 2013, the estimated annual effective tax rate for 2013 is about 24 percent, which differs from the 35 percent statutory corporate tax rate due to lower statutory tax rates applicable to our operations in many of the jurisdictions in which we operate and from U.S. tax benefits. These lower tax rates are generally statutory in nature, without expiration and available to companies that operate in those taxing jurisdictions. The tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes a $65 million discrete tax benefit from the reinstatement in the first quarter of 2013 of the federal research tax credit retroactive to the beginning of 2012.

Valuation of debt and equity investments and certain liabilities

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Valuation of debt and equity investments and certain liabilities

Debt and equity investments

We classify our investments as available for sale, trading, equity method or cost method. Most of our investments are classified as available for sale.

Available-for-sale and trading securities are stated at fair value, which is generally based on market prices, broker quotes or, when necessary, financial models (see fair-value discussion below). Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded as an increase or decrease, net of taxes, in AOCI on our Consolidated balance sheets. We record other-than-temporary impairments on available-for-sale securities in OI&E in our Consolidated statements of income.

We classify certain mutual funds as trading securities. These mutual funds hold a variety of debt and equity investments intended to generate returns that offset changes in certain deferred compensation liabilities. We record changes in the fair value of these mutual funds and the related deferred compensation liabilities in SG&A.

Our other investments are not measured at fair value but are accounted for using either the equity method or cost method. These investments consist of interests in venture capital funds and other non-marketable equity securities. Gains and losses from equity-method investments are reflected in OI&E based on our ownership share of the investee’s financial results. Gains and losses on cost-method investments are recorded in OI&E when realized or when an impairment of the investment’s value is warranted based on our assessment of the recoverability of each investment.

Details of our investments are as follows:



	September 30, 2013						December 31, 2012
	Cash and Cash Equivalents		Short-term Investments		Long-term Investments		Cash and Cash Equivalents		Short-term Investments		Long-term Investments

Total	$	1,435	$	2,158	$	210	$	1,416	$	2,549	$	215

As of September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, we had no significant unrealized gains or losses associated with our available-for-sale investments. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we did not recognize in earnings any credit losses related to these investments.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the proceeds from sales, redemptions and maturities of short-term available-for-sale investments were $3.56 billion and $1.64 billion, respectively. Gross realized gains and losses from these sales were not significant.

The following table presents the aggregate maturities of investments in debt securities classified as available for sale at September 30, 2013:



Due	Fair Value
One year or less	$	3,230
One to three years	265

Fair-value considerations

We measure and report certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

The three-level hierarchy discussed below indicates the extent and level of judgment used to estimate fair-value measurements.

Level 1 — Uses unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2 — Uses inputs other than Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date through correlation with market data, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 also includes assets and liabilities that are valued using models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment since the input assumptions used in the models, such as interest rates and volatility factors, are corroborated by readily observable data. Our Level 2 assets consist of corporate obligations and some U.S. government agency and Treasury securities. We utilize a third-party data service to provide Level 2 valuations, verifying these valuations for reasonableness relative to unadjusted quotes obtained from brokers or dealers based on observable prices for similar assets in active markets.

Level 3 — Uses inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models that utilize management estimates of market participant assumptions.

The following are our assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012. For these periods, we had no Level 3 assets or liabilities. These tables do not include cash on hand, assets held by our postretirement plans, or assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost or any basis other than fair value.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we remeasured our U.S. and Japan defined benefit plans, as a result of increased retirement activities. These remeasurements resulted in net actuarial gains on a pre-tax basis in Other comprehensive income of $14 million and $79 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Of these gains, $7 million related to the U.S. plans and $7 million was for the Japan plan in the three-month period; $24 million related to the U.S. plans and $55 million was for the Japan plan in the nine-month period. From these remeasurements, we recognized settlement losses on the U.S. and Japan plans, as well as curtailment gains on the Japan plan. These are detailed in the above table. The effects of these remeasurements, and the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, are reflected in Overfunded retirement plans and Underfunded retirement plans on our Consolidated balance sheets.

Transfer of Japan substitutional pension

In Japan, we maintained employee pension fund plans (EPFs) pursuant to the Japanese Welfare Pension Insurance Law (JWPIL). An EPF consists of two portions: a substitutional portion based on JWPIL-determined minimum old-age pension benefits similar to Social Security benefits in the United States; and a corporate portion established at the discretion of each employer. Employers and employees are exempt from contributing to the Japanese Pension Insurance (JPI) if the substitutional portion is funded by an EPF.

The JWPIL was amended to permit each EPF to separate the substitutional portion and transfer those obligations and related assets to the government of Japan. After such a transfer, the employer is required to contribute periodically to JPI, and the government of Japan is responsible for future benefit payments relating to the substitutional portion.

During the third quarter of 2012, our EPF received final approval for such a separation and transferred the obligations and assets of its substitutional portion to the government of Japan. On a pre-tax basis, this resulted in a net gain of $144 million recorded in Restructuring charges/other on our Consolidated statements of income and included in Other. This net gain of $144 million consisted of two parts - a gain of $337 million, representing the difference between the fair values of the obligations settled ($533 million) and the assets transferred from the pension trust to the government of Japan ($196 million), offset by a settlement loss of $193 million related to the recognition of previously unrecognized actuarial losses included in AOCI.

Debt and lines of credit

Long-term Debt, Unclassified [Abstract]

Debt and lines of credit

Short-term borrowings

We maintain a line of credit to support commercial paper borrowings, if any, and to provide additional liquidity through bank loans. As of September 30, 2013, we have a variable-rate revolving credit facility from a consortium of investment-grade banks that allows us to borrow up to $2 billion through March 2018. The interest rate on borrowings under this credit facility, if drawn, is indexed to the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). As of September 30, 2013, our credit facility was undrawn and we had no commercial paper outstanding.

Long-term debt

In May 2013, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion of fixed-rate long-term debt, with $500 million due in 2018 and $500 million due in 2023. The proceeds of the offering were $986 million net of the original issuance discount and were used toward the repayment of $1.5 billion of maturing debt, including floating-rate notes. In connection with this repayment, we settled the associated interest rate swap. We also incurred $6 million of issuance and other related costs that are being amortized to Interest and debt expense over the term of the debt.

In August 2012, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion of fixed-rate long-term debt, with $750 million due in 2015 and $750 million due in 2019. The proceeds of the offering were $1.492 billion, net of the original issuance discount. We also incurred $7 million of issuance costs that are being amortized to Interest and debt expense over the term of the debt.

The following table summarizes the total long-term debt outstanding as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

Interest incurred on debt, net of the amortization of the debt premium and other debt issuance costs, was $24 million and $21 million for the three months ($71 million and $62 million for the nine months) ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Capitalized interest was not material.

Contingencies	9 Months Ended
Contingencies	Sep. 30, 2013
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies	Contingencies Indemnification guarantees We routinely sell products with an intellectual property indemnification included in the terms of sale. Historically, we have had only minimal, infrequent losses associated with these indemnities. Consequently, we cannot reasonably estimate or accrue for any future liabilities that may result. Warranty costs/product liabilities We accrue for known product-related claims if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. During the periods presented, there have been no material accruals or payments regarding product warranty or product liability. Historically, we have experienced a low rate of payments on product claims. Although we cannot predict the likelihood or amount of any future claims, we do not believe they will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Consistent with general industry practice, we enter into formal contracts with certain customers that include negotiated warranty remedies. Typically, under these agreements our warranty for semiconductor products includes: three years of coverage; an obligation to repair, replace or refund; and a maximum payment obligation tied to the price paid for our products. In some cases, product claims may exceed the price of our products. General We are subject to various legal and administrative proceedings. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters, we believe that the results of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. From time to time, we also negotiate contingent consideration payment arrangements associated with certain acquisitions, which are recorded at fair value. Discontinued operations indemnity In connection with the 2006 sale of the former Sensors & Controls (S&C) business, we have agreed to indemnify Sensata Technologies, Inc., for specified litigation matters and certain liabilities, including environmental liabilities. In a settlement with a third party, we have agreed to indemnify that party for certain events relating to S&C products, which events we consider remote. We believe our total remaining potential exposure from both of these indemnities will not exceed $200 million. As of September 30, 2013, we believe future payments related to these indemnity obligations will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Dividends [Abstract]
Dividends	Dividends In September 2013, we announced a 7 percent increase in our quarterly cash dividend rate, which increased from $0.28 to $0.30 per share. This dividend will be payable November 18, 2013, to stockholders of record on October 31, 2013.

Description of business and significant accounting policies and practices (Policies)	9 Months Ended

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of presentation	Basis of presentation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP) and on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and as updated by the Form 8-K. The consolidated statements of income, statements of comprehensive income and statements of cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and the balance sheet as of September 30, 2013, are not audited but reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods shown. Certain amounts in the prior periods’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Because the consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for a complete set of financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as updated by the Form 8-K. The results for the three- and nine-month periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All dollar amounts in the financial statements and tables in these notes, except per-share amounts, are stated in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Earnings per share	Earnings per share (EPS) Unvested awards of share-based payments with rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, such as our restricted stock units (RSUs), are considered to be participating securities and the two-class method is used for purposes of calculating EPS. Under the two-class method, a portion of net income is allocated to these participating securities and, therefore, is excluded from the calculation of EPS allocated to common stock, as shown in the table below.
Derivatives and hedging	Derivatives and hedging In connection with the issuance of variable-rate long-term debt in May 2011, we entered into an interest rate swap designated as a hedge of the variability of cash flows related to interest payments. Gains and losses from changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap were credited or charged to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes (AOCI). In connection with the repayment of this long-term debt in the second quarter of 2013, this interest rate swap was settled for no gain or loss. In association with the issuance of long-term debt, we use financial derivatives such as treasury rate lock agreements, the results of which have not been material. We also use derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to foreign exchange risk. These instruments are primarily forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are used as economic hedges to reduce the earnings impact exchange rate fluctuations may have on our non-U.S. dollar net balance sheet exposures. Gains and losses from changes in the fair value of these forward foreign currency exchange contracts are credited or charged to OI&E. We do not apply hedge accounting to our foreign currency derivative instruments. We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.
Fair values of financial instruments	Fair values of financial instruments The fair values of our derivative financial instruments were not significant at September 30, 2013. Our investments in cash equivalents, short-term investments and certain long-term investments, as well as our deferred compensation liabilities, are carried at fair value and are discussed in Note 5. The carrying values for other current financial assets and liabilities, such as accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value due to the short maturity of such instruments. The carrying value of our long-term debt approximates the fair value as measured using broker-dealer quotes, which are based on Level 2 inputs. See Note 5 for the definition of Level 2 inputs. Fair-value considerations We measure and report certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The three-level hierarchy discussed below indicates the extent and level of judgment used to estimate fair-value measurements. Level 1 — Uses unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Level 2 — Uses inputs other than Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date through correlation with market data, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 also includes assets and liabilities that are valued using models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment since the input assumptions used in the models, such as interest rates and volatility factors, are corroborated by readily observable data. Our Level 2 assets consist of corporate obligations and some U.S. government agency and Treasury securities. We utilize a third-party data service to provide Level 2 valuations, verifying these valuations for reasonableness relative to unadjusted quotes obtained from brokers or dealers based on observable prices for similar assets in active markets. Level 3 — Uses inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models that utilize management estimates of market participant assumptions.
Debt and equity investments	Debt and equity investments We classify our investments as available for sale, trading, equity method or cost method. Most of our investments are classified as available for sale. Available-for-sale and trading securities are stated at fair value, which is generally based on market prices, broker quotes or, when necessary, financial models (see fair-value discussion below). Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded as an increase or decrease, net of taxes, in AOCI on our Consolidated balance sheets. We record other-than-temporary impairments on available-for-sale securities in OI&E in our Consolidated statements of income. We classify certain mutual funds as trading securities. These mutual funds hold a variety of debt and equity investments intended to generate returns that offset changes in certain deferred compensation liabilities. We record changes in the fair value of these mutual funds and the related deferred compensation liabilities in SG&A. Our other investments are not measured at fair value but are accounted for using either the equity method or cost method. These investments consist of interests in venture capital funds and other non-marketable equity securities. Gains and losses from equity-method investments are reflected in OI&E based on our ownership share of the investee’s financial results. Gains and losses on cost-method investments are recorded in OI&E when realized or when an impairment of the investment’s value is warranted based on our assessment of the recoverability of each investment.
Warranty costs and product liabilities	Warranty costs/product liabilities We accrue for known product-related claims if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. During the periods presented, there have been no material accruals or payments regarding product warranty or product liability. Historically, we have experienced a low rate of payments on product claims. Although we cannot predict the likelihood or amount of any future claims, we do not believe they will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Consistent with general industry practice, we enter into formal contracts with certain customers that include negotiated warranty remedies. Typically, under these agreements our warranty for semiconductor products includes: three years of coverage; an obligation to repair, replace or refund; and a maximum payment obligation tied to the price paid for our products. In some cases, product claims may exceed the price of our products.

- Definition

Disclosure of accounting policy regarding (1) the principles it follows in consolidating or combining the separate financial statements, including the principles followed in determining the inclusion or exclusion of subsidiaries or other entities in the consolidated or combined financial statements and (2) its treatment of interests (for example, common stock, a partnership interest or other means of exerting influence) in other entities, for example consolidation or use of the equity or cost methods of accounting. The accounting policy may also address the accounting treatment for intercompany accounts and transactions, noncontrolling interest, and the income statement treatment in consolidation for issuances of stock by a subsidiary.
