| Basis of Presentation | BASIS OF PRESENTATION Nature of Business Pixelworks designs, develops and markets visual display processing semiconductors, intellectual property cores, software and custom application specific integrated circuits ("ASIC") solutions for high-quality energy efficient video applications. In addition, we offer a suite of solutions for advanced media processing and the efficient delivery and streaming of video. We enable worldwide manufacturers to offer leading-edge consumer electronics and professional display products, as well as video delivery and streaming solutions for content service providers. Our core visual display processing technology intelligently processes digital images and video from a variety of sources and optimizes the content for a superior viewing experience. Pixelworks’ video coding technology reduces storage requirements, significantly reduces bandwidth constraint issues and converts content between multiple formats to enable seamless delivery of video, including over-the-air (OTA) streaming, while also maintaining end-to-end content security. The rapid growth in video-capable consumer devices, especially mobile, has increased the demand for visual display processing and video delivery technology in recent years. Our technologies can be applied to a wide range of devices from large-screen projectors to low-power mobile tablets, smartphones, high-quality video infrastructure equipment and streaming devices. Our products are architected and optimized for power, cost, bandwidth, and overall system performance, according to the requirements of the specific application. Our primary target markets include digital projection systems, tablets, smartphones, and OTA streaming devices. As of December 31, 2017, we had an intellectual property portfolio of 536 patents related to the visual display of digital image data. We focus our research and development efforts on developing video algorithms that improve quality, and architectures that reduce system power, cost, bandwidth and increase overall system performance and device functionality. We seek to expand our technology portfolio through internal development and co-development with business partners, and we continually evaluate acquisition opportunities and other ways to leverage our technology into other high-value markets. Pixelworks was founded in 1997 and is incorporated under the laws of the state of Oregon. On August 2, 2017, we acquired ViXS Systems, Inc., a corporation organized in Canada (“ViXS”). Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pixelworks and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. All foreign subsidiaries use the U.S. dollar as the functional currency, and as a result, transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Transaction losses were $172, $153 and $125 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Our significant estimates and judgments include those related to revenue recognition, valuation of excess and obsolete inventory, lives and recoverability of equipment and other long-lived assets, valuation of goodwill, valuation of convertible debt, income taxes. The actual results experienced could differ materially from our estimates. |

| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Cash and Cash Equivalents We classify all cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase as cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents, which consist of U.S. denominated money market funds totaled $23,402 and $17,960 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amount and do not bear interest when recorded or accrue interest when past due. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may result from the inability of our customers to make required payments. At the end of each reporting period, we estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts based on an account-by-account risk analysis of outstanding receivable balances. The determination to write-off specific accounts receivable balances is made based on the likelihood of collection and past due status. Past due status is based on invoice date and terms specific to each customer. Inventories Inventories consist of finished goods and work-in-process, and are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market (net realizable value). Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets which are generally as follows:
The cost of property and equipment repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. Licensed Technology We have capitalized licensed technology assets in other long-term assets. These assets are stated at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the license or the estimated life of the asset, if the license is not contractually limited, which is generally two to five years. Useful Lives and Recoverability of Equipment and Other Long-Lived Assets We evaluate the remaining useful life and recoverability of equipment and other assets, including identifiable intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If there is an indicator of impairment, we prepare an estimate of future, undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of each asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, we adjust the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value. We have concluded that the carrying value of our long-lived assets is recoverable as of December 31, 2017. Goodwill Goodwill is not amortized, rather tested, at least annually, for impairment at a reporting unit level. Impairment of goodwill is the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit that includes goodwill exceeds its fair value. A goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the amount that the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired. We evaluate impairment using the guidance set forth in FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04") which states that an entity may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If determined to be necessary, the quantitative impairment test shall be used to identify goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized. An entity has an unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to the quantitative goodwill impairment test. Accordingly, we have elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative goodwill impairment test. We tested goodwill for impairment under the quantitative goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2017 and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. For product sales, we require customers to provide purchase orders prior to shipment and we consider delivery to occur upon shipment provided title and risk of loss have passed to the customer based on the shipping terms. These conditions are generally satisfied upon shipment of the underlying product. There are no customer acceptance provisions associated with our products, and except for replacement of defective products under our warranty program discussed below, we have no obligation to accept product returns from end customers; however, we have accepted returns on a case-by-case basis as customer accommodations in the past. As a result, we provide for estimated reductions to gross profit for these sales returns in our reserve for sales returns and allowances. At the end of each reporting period, we estimate the reserve based on historical experience and knowledge of any applicable events or transactions. The reserve is included in accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. A portion of our sales are made to distributors under agreements that grant the distributor limited stock rotation rights and price protection on in-stock inventory. The stock rotation rights allow these distributors to exchange a limited amount of their in-stock inventory for other Pixelworks product. As a result, we provide for estimated reductions to gross profit for these stock rotations in our reserve for sales returns and allowances. At the end of each reporting period, we estimate the reserve based on historical experience and knowledge of any applicable events or transactions. The reserve is included in accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. On occasion, we derive revenue from the license of our internally developed intellectual property ("IP"). IP licensing agreements that we enter into generally provide licensees the right to incorporate our IP components in their products with terms and conditions that vary by licensee. Our license fee arrangements generally include multiple deliverables and we are required to determine whether there is more than one unit of accounting. To the extent that the deliverables are separable into multiple units of accounting, we allocate the total fee on such arrangements to the individual units of accounting using management’s best estimate of selling price ("ESP"), if third party evidence ("TPE") or vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") does not exist. We defer revenue recognition for consideration that is contingent upon future performance or other contractual terms. The Company's process for determining its ESP for deliverables without VSOE or TPE considers multiple factors that may vary depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable. The key factors considered by the Company in developing the ESPs include the nature and complexity of the licensed technologies, our cost to provide the deliverables, the availability of substitute technologies in the marketplace and the Company's historical pricing practices. We then recognize revenue for each unit of accounting depending on the nature of the deliverable(s) comprising the unit of accounting in accordance with the revenue recognition criteria mentioned above. Fees under these agreements generally include (a) license fees relating to our IP, (b) engineering services, and (c) support services. Historically, each of these elements have standalone value and therefore each are treated as separate units of accounting. Any future licensing arrangements will be analyzed based on the specific facts and circumstances which may be different than our historical licensing arrangements. For deliverables related to licenses of our technology that involve significant engineering services, we recognize revenue in accordance with the provisions of the proportional performance method. We determine costs associated with engineering services using actual labor dollars incurred and estimated other direct or incremental costs allocated based on the percentage of time the engineer(s) spent on the project. These costs are deferred until revenue recognition criteria have been met, at which time they are reclassified as cost of revenue. Warranty Program We warrant that our products will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of twelve months from delivery. Warranty repairs are guaranteed for the remainder of the original warranty period. Our warranty is limited to repairing or replacing products, or refunding the purchase price. At the end of each reporting period, we estimate a reserve for warranty returns based on historical experience and knowledge of any applicable events or transactions. The reserve for warranty returns is included in accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Stock-Based Compensation We currently sponsor a stock incentive plan that allows for issuance of employee stock options and restricted stock awards, including restricted stock units. We also have an employee stock purchase plan for all eligible employees. The fair value of share-based payment awards is expensed straight-line over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, for the entire award. Additionally, any modification of an award that increases its fair value will require us to recognize additional expense. The fair value of our stock option grants and purchase rights under our employee stock purchase plan are estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which is affected by our estimates of the risk free interest rate, our expected dividend yield, expected term and the expected share price volatility of our common shares over the expected term. The fair value of our restricted stock awards are based on the market value of our stock on the date of grant. Research and Development Costs associated with research and development activities are expensed as incurred, except for items with alternate future uses which are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. On occasion, we enter into co-development arrangements with current or prospective integrated circuit ("IC") customers to defray a portion of the research and development expenses we expect to incur in connection with our development of an IC product. As amounts become due and payable, they are offset against research and development expense on a pro-rata basis. Income Taxes We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We establish a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets if it is "more likely than not" that a portion or all of the asset will not be realized in future tax returns. An uncertain tax position represents treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return, or planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. Until these positions are sustained by the taxing authorities, we do not recognize the tax benefits resulting from such positions and report the tax effects for uncertain tax positions in our consolidated balance sheets. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, consists of the following:
Risks and Uncertainties Concentration of Suppliers We do not own or operate a semiconductor fabrication facility and do not have the resources to manufacture our products internally. We rely on a limited number of foundries and assembly and test vendors to produce all of our wafers and for completion of finished products. We do not have any long-term agreements with any of these suppliers. In light of these dependencies, it is reasonably possible that failure to perform by one of these suppliers could have a severe impact on our results of operations. Additionally, the concentration of these vendors within Taiwan, and the People’s Republic of China increases our risk of supply disruption due to natural disasters, economic instability, political unrest or other regional disturbances. Risk of Technological Change The markets in which we compete, or seek to compete, are subject to rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions, changing customer requirements for new products and features, and evolving industry standards. The introduction of new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards could render our products less desirable or obsolete, which could harm our business. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We limit our exposure to credit risk associated with cash equivalent balances by holding our funds in high quality, highly liquid money market accounts. We limit our exposure to credit risk associated with accounts receivable by carefully evaluating creditworthiness before offering terms to customers. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"). ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business and provides further guidance for evaluating whether a transaction will be accounted for as an acquisition of an asset or a business. ASU 2017-01 will become effective for us on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the second step from the quantitative goodwill impairment test. We will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative goodwill impairment test is necessary. As permitted by ASU 2017-04, Pixelworks has elected to early adopt the amendments contained in ASU 2017-04 for our annual impairment test of goodwill during the fourth quarter of 2017. Accordingly, our 2017 goodwill impairment analysis was based on and reflected the requirements of ASU 2017-04. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Shared-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 simplifies how several aspects of share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements, for example, an accounting policy election may be made to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than based on an estimate of future forfeitures. In addition, under previous guidance, excess tax benefits and deficiencies from stock-based compensation arrangements were recorded in equity when the awards vested or were settled. ASU 2016-09 requires prospective recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies in the income statement. We adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017, which included a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur, and resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of $44 as of January 1, 2017. In addition, upon adoption the balance of the unrecognized excess tax benefits were recognized and the impact was recorded to retained earnings, including any change to the valuation allowance as a result of the adoption. Due to the full valuation allowance on the U.S. net deferred tax assets, this change did not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee would account for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance leases and operating leases will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability. For finance leases, the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of the ROU asset and for operating leases the lessee would recognize a straight-line total lease expense. ASU 2016-02 will become effective for us on January 1, 2019. While we are currently assessing the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on our financial statements, we expect the primary impact to our financial position upon adoption will be the recognition, on a discounted basis, of our minimum commitments under noncancelable operating leases on our consolidated balance sheets resulting in the recording of ROU assets and lease obligations. In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory ("ASU 2015-11"), which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. We adopted ASU 2015-11 on January 1, 2017 and it did not have a material impact our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"), which requires that an entity recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. ASU 2014-09 allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption and will become effective for us on January 1, 2018. We have developed an implementation plan to adopt this new guidance. As part of this plan, we assessed the impact of the new guidance on our results of operations. Based on our procedures performed to date, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial statements but do anticipate increased disclosures after adoption. We adopted ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 and we have selected the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of this new standard did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. |

| Business Combinations [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Acquisition | ACQUISITION On August 2, 2017, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of ViXS Systems, Inc. (“ViXS”), a Canadian corporation (the "Acquisition"). We issued 0.04836 of a share of our common stock in exchange for each share of ViXS common stock outstanding and for certain ViXS restricted stock units which were vested simultaneously with closing. ViXS designs and develops advanced video processing semiconductor solutions. The acquisition of ViXS added families of video processor components for consumer applications and cloud, video delivery and infrastructure markets, along with a companion family of networking components to our solutions. These factors contributed to establishing the purchase price and supported the premium paid over the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. The aggregate purchase price for ViXS was $16,975 and consisted of $16,316 related to the issuance of 3,586,021 shares of our common stock plus $659 related to: (i) the issuance of 202,043 unvested restricted stock units, in exchange for ViXS’ unvested restricted stock units, plus (ii) the issuance of 122,242 shares to a holder of ViXS restricted stock units which were vested simultaneously with closing. The purchase price calculations were based on the closing price of our common stock on the day the transaction closed. The ViXS chief executive officer (the "CEO") was terminated in connection with the closing of the transaction. As a result, we recognized expense of $1,115, which consisted of $800 related to a severance agreement, payable over 24 months, and $315 related to accelerated vesting of the CEO’s ViXS restricted stock units which were exchanged for Pixelworks common stock at closing. Such amount is included within selling, general and administrative within our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017. The purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the assets and liabilities based on fair values as follows:
The allocation of purchase price consideration to assets and liabilities is not yet finalized. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions that are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). Below are the significant valuations that were performed associated with the acquisition which were based upon preliminary estimates:
During the fourth quarter, after further analysis of estimates and assumptions associated with the acquired ViXS inventory, we reduced the value of acquired inventory by $386 with a corresponding increase to goodwill. We preliminarily recorded gross deferred tax assets of $62,992, subject to a valuation allowance of $62,972 to recognize book basis and tax basis differences of various balance sheet assets and liabilities and corporate tax attributes acquired. The goodwill resulting from this transaction is not deductible for tax purposes. The results of ViXS’ operations are included in our consolidated statement of operations beginning on the date of acquisition. ViXS revenue of $4,489 and net loss of $(6,729), which included $1,920 in restructuring charges, (see Note 7: "Restructurings") and $3,633 of non-cash amortization of acquisition and debt related items are included in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017. The following table reflects the unaudited pro forma results of Pixelworks and ViXS as if the merger had taken place as of January 1, 2016:
The unaudited pro forma net loss presented above includes adjustments for amortization of acquired intangible assets and other assets, and stock-based compensation as these items are expected to have a continuing effect on the consolidated results of operations of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma net income (loss) presented above does not reflect amortization of the mark-up of acquired inventory to fair value, or acquisition-related costs of $3,010 for the year ended December 31, 2017, as they are not reflective of the ongoing operations of the combined entities. Net loss reported for the year ended December 31, 2017 includes a $4,785 gain ViXS recognized on the sale of a product line during the period. The pro-forma information does not necessarily reflect the actual results that would have occurred, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results of operations of the combined companies. |

The following is a summary of the change in our allowance for doubtful accounts:
Inventories Inventories consist of the following:
We recorded inventory write-downs, offset by sales of previously written-down inventory of $184 for the year ended December 31, 2017. We recorded inventory write-downs, offset by sales of previously written-down inventory of $257 for the year ended December 31, 2016, of which $285 was included in restructuring and was related to the write off of inventory associated with markets we are no longer pursuing. We recorded inventory write-downs, offset by sales of previously written-down inventory of $199 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The inventory write-downs were for lower of cost or market and excess and obsolescence exposure, offset by sales of previously written-down inventory of $165, $44 and $8 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of current prepaid expenses, deposits, income taxes receivable and other receivables. Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment consists of the following:
Software amortization was $1,501, $1,755 and $2,127 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense for equipment, furniture, fixtures, tooling and leasehold improvements was $2,076, $1,705 and $1,483 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Other Assets, Net Other assets consist primarily of deposits, deferred tax assets and licensed technology. Amortization of licensed technology was $0, $6 and $653 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Acquired Intangible Assets, Net In connection with the Acquisition, we recorded certain identifiable intangible assets. See Note 3: “Acquisition” for additional information. Acquired intangible assets resulting from this transaction consist of the following:
Intangible assets are amortized over the following estimated useful lives: developed technology and customer relationships, 3 to 5 years; and tradename and backlog, 6 to 18 months. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $874 for the year ended December 31, 2017, with $706 included in cost of revenue and $168 included in selling, general and administrative on the consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2017, future estimated amortization expense is as follows:
Acquired intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Conditions that would trigger an impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, past, current, or expected cash flow or operating losses associated with the asset and an expectation that the asset will be significantly utilized before the end of its useful life. There were no such triggering events requiring an impairment assessment of other intangible assets as of December 31, 2017. Goodwill Goodwill resulted from our acquisition of ViXS on August 2, 2017, whereby we recorded goodwill of $18,407. See Note 3: "Acquisition" for information concerning the acquisition. See Note 2: "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for information on our assessment of goodwill impairment. Accrued Liabilities and Current Portion of Long-Term Liabilities Accrued liabilities and current portion of long-term liabilities consist of the following:
The following is a summary of the change in our liability for warranty returns:
Short-Term Line of Credit On December 21, 2010, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the "Bank"), which was amended on December 14, 2012, December 4, 2013, December 18, 2015, December 15, 2016, July 21, 2017 and December 21, 2017 (as amended, the "Revolving Loan Agreement"). The Revolving Loan Agreement provides a secured working capital-based revolving line of credit (the "Revolving Line") in an aggregate amount of up to the lesser of (i) $10,000, or (ii) $1,000 plus 80% of eligible domestic accounts receivable and certain foreign accounts receivable. The Revolving Line has a maturity date of December 28, 2018. In addition, the Revolving Loan Agreement provides for non-formula advances of up to $10,000 which may be made solely during the last five business days of any fiscal month or quarter and which must be repaid by the Company on or before the fifth business day after the applicable fiscal month or quarter end. Amounts advanced under the Revolving Line bear interest at an annual rate equal to the lender's prime rate plus 0.25%. The Revolving Loan Agreement, as amended also provides an option for LIBOR advances that bear interest based on the LIBOR rate. Interest on the Revolving Line is due monthly, with the balance due on December 28, 2018, which is the scheduled maturity date for the Revolving Line. The Revolving Loan Agreement, as amended contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including with respect to the following: compliance with laws, provision of financial statements and periodic reports, payment of taxes, maintenance of inventory and insurance, maintenance of operating accounts at the Bank, the Bank's access to collateral, formation or acquisition of subsidiaries, incurrence of indebtedness, dispositions of assets, granting liens, changes in business, ownership or business locations, engaging in mergers and acquisitions, making investments or distributions and affiliate transactions. The covenants also require that the Company maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying financial assets to the sum of qualifying financial obligations. The Revolving Loan Agreement, as amended also contains customary events of default, including the following: defaults with respect to covenant compliance, the occurrence of a material adverse change, the occurrence of certain bankruptcy or insolvency events, cross-defaults, judgment defaults and material misrepresentations. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of the Company's obligations under the Revolving Loan Agreement, as amended and an increase to the applicable interest rate, and would permit the Bank to exercise remedies with respect to its security interest. To secure the repayment of any amounts borrowed under the Revolving Loan Agreement, as amended, the Company granted to the Bank a security interest in substantially all of its assets, excluding its intellectual property assets. The Company has agreed not to pledge or otherwise encumber its intellectual property assets without prior written permission from the Bank. As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had no outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Line. |

| Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Convertible Debt | CONVERTIBLE DEBT As part of the Acquisition, we assumed secured convertible debt, which consists of the following as of December 31, 2017:
As a result of the change in control of ViXS, the convertible debt holders had a right to put the debt to the Company. A majority of the holders agreed to waive their right to accelerate and to accept 0.04836 share of our common stock for each share of ViXS common stock the holder would have been entitled to receive upon the exercise of the conversion option. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we repaid $1,000 to those holders that did not agree to waive their rights. Key terms of the convertible debt include:
For the year ended December 31, 2017, interest expense consisted of $227 related to the contractual rate of interest and $196 related to accretion of the discount. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we recorded net foreign currency gains of approximately $(4) in other expense, $0 of which was related to accretion of the discount. The unamortized debt discount of $1,030, is expected to be amortized over two years. On November 21, 2017, a convertible debt holder elected to convert their debt. The principal amount of the debt converted was CAD $400 and resulted in the issuance of 55,248 shares of our common stock which was valued at $329 on the date of conversion. On January 12, 2018, the Company provided notice to the holders of the convertible debt of its election to redeem the convertible debt in full as of March 13, 2018. For additional information see "Note 16: Subsequent Events". Conversion Feature Because our functional currency is the U.S. dollar and the convertible debt, including the conversion option, is denominated in Canadian dollars, it is not indexed to our stock. As a result, the conversion option of the convertible debt is separately identified and recognized at fair value as a derivative liability. For the year ended December 31, 2017, $743 is included in other expense in our consolidated statement of operations for the increase in the fair value of the conversion feature. Interest Deceleration Feature The interest deceleration feature also qualifies as a derivative that requires separate accounting from the convertible debt. However, based on the terms of the convertible debt, we concluded that the interest deceleration will never occur because it would always be advantageous for us to call the convertible debt before the common stock reaches the price that triggers the reset. Accordingly, this derivative was assigned $0 value as of December 31, 2017. |

| Fair Value Measurements | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:
The following table presents information about our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016:
We primarily use the market approach to determine the fair value of our financial instruments. The fair value of our current assets and liabilities, including accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates the carrying value due to the short-term nature of these balances. We have currently chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The fair value of the convertible debt conversion feature was calculated using the Tsiveriotis and Fernandes Convertible Debt Model. Three primary assumptions used in the calculations were: volatility of 60%, credit spread of 13.13% and risk free rate of 1.87%. The embedded conversion feature is measured at fair value on a recurring basis and included with convertible debt in our consolidated balance sheet. Convertible debt was recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet on the date of the Acquisition, however fair value adjustments are not required after the Acquisition date. |

| Restructuring | RESTRUCTURINGS In September 2017, in connection with the Acquisition, we executed a restructuring plan to secure significant synergies between ViXS and Pixelworks. The plan included an approximately 15% reduction in workforce, primarily in the area of development, however, it also impacted administration and sales. In April 2016, we executed a restructuring plan to streamline the Company’s operations and product offerings and to align the Company’s expenses with current revenue levels. The plan included an approximately 24% reduction in workforce, primarily in the area of development, however, it also impacted operations, sales and marketing. The plan also included abandonment of certain assets resulting in impairment charges to write off the assets associated with markets we are no longer pursuing.

| Research and Development [Abstract] | |
| Research and Development | RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT During the first quarter of 2017, we entered into a best efforts co-development agreement with a customer to defray a portion of the research and development expenses we expect to incur in connection with our development of an integrated circuit product to be sold exclusively to the customer. We expect our development costs to exceed the amounts received from the customer, and although we expect to sell units of the product to the customer, there is no commitment or agreement from the customer for such sales at this time. Additionally, we retain ownership of any modifications or improvements to our pre-existing intellectual property and may use such improvements in products sold to other customers. Under the co-development agreement, $4,000 was payable by the customer within 60 days of the date of the agreement and two additional payments of $2,000 are each payable upon completion of certain development milestones. As amounts become due and payable, they are offset against research and development expense on a pro rata basis. We recognized an offset to research and development expense of $4,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017. |

| Income Taxes | INCOME TAXES Current and Deferred Income Tax Expense Domestic and foreign pre-tax income (loss) is as follows:
Income tax expense attributable to operations is comprised of the following:
The reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to our effective income tax rate is as follows:
Deferred Tax Assets, Liabilities and Valuation Allowance Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts for income tax purposes. Significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2017. The Company had excess tax benefits for which a benefit could not be previously recognized of approximately $485. Upon adoption the balance of the unrecognized excess tax benefits was reversed with the impact recorded to retained earnings including the change to the valuation allowance as a result of the adoption. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, and requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred and creates new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. Due to deficits in certain foreign subsidiaries we reasonably estimate that we will not have a transition tax liability for the repatriation of our foreign earnings. Additionally, a minimum tax on certain foreign earnings in excess of 10 percent of the foreign subsidiaries tangible assets (i.e., global intangible low-taxed income or “GILTI”) will be effective for future tax years. We have evaluated this change and made a policy election to treat the GILTI tax as a period expense. Our estimates may be affected as we gain a more thorough understanding of the tax law. On December 22, 2017, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 was issued to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Act. In accordance with SAB 118, we have determined that $28,973 of the deferred tax expense recorded in connection with the re-measurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities, $343 of current tax benefit recorded in connection with the refundable AMT credit and the transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings were provisional amounts and reasonable estimates as of December 31, 2017. Additional work is necessary to do a more detailed analysis of historical foreign earnings as well as potential adjustments. Any subsequent adjustment to these amounts will be recorded to current tax expense in the quarter of 2018 when the analysis is complete. We continue to record a full valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 as it is not more likely than not that we will realize a benefit from these assets in a future period. We have not provided a valuation allowance against any of our foreign net deferred tax assets, with the exception of Canada, as we have concluded it is more likely than not that we will realize a benefit from these assets in a future period because our subsidiaries in these jurisdictions are cost-plus taxpayers. The net valuation allowance increased $30,867, $1,555 and $1,732 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, we had federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $215,326, $11,444 and $38,578 respectively, which will expire between 2018 and 2037. As of December 31, 2017, we had available federal, state and foreign research and experimentation tax credit carryforwards of $8,962, $4,019, and $27,322 respectively. The federal and state tax credits will begin expiring in 2019 while the foreign credits have an indefinite life. In addition, our Canadian subsidiary has unclaimed scientific and experimental expenditures to be carried forward and applied against future income in Canada of approximately $119,447. We have a general foreign tax credit of $1,655 which will begin expiring in 2018. As of December 31, 2017 we recorded a receivable for our AMT tax credit carryforwards of $343 which will be refundable under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Our ability to utilize our federal net operating losses may be limited by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which imposes an annual limit on the ability of a corporation that undergoes an "ownership change" to use its net operating loss carryforwards to reduce its tax liability. An ownership change is generally defined as a greater than 50% increase in equity ownership by 5% shareholders in any three-year period. We recognized all of the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries as part of the transition tax of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. As of December 31, 2017, we do not have a liability for unremitted foreign earnings. Our Chinese subsidiary is designated as an Advanced Technology Service Enterprise, allowing it to benefit from a Chinese tax holiday resulting in a reduction of its tax rate to 15% through 2018. Uncertain Tax Positions We have recorded tax liabilities to address potential exposures involving positions that could be challenged by taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2017 the amount of our uncertain tax positions was a liability of $1,735 and a reduction to deferred tax assets of $777. As of December 31, 2016, the amount of our uncertain tax positions was a liability of $1,419 and a reduction to deferred tax assets of $560. The following is a summary of the change in our liability for uncertain tax positions and interest and penalties:
During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, we recognized $46, $26 and $9, respectively, of interest and penalties in income tax expense in our consolidated statements of operations. We file income tax returns in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position is resolved by settlement or statute of limitations. Settlement of any particular position could require the use of cash. If the uncertain tax positions we have accrued for are sustained by the taxing authorities in our favor, the reduction of the liability will reduce our effective tax rate. We reasonably expect reductions in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and interest and penalties of approximately $8 within the next twelve months due to the expiration of statutes of limitation in foreign jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and foreign examinations for years before 2014, 2013 and 2010, respectively. Our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards from all years may be subject to adjustment for three years following the year in which utilized. We do not anticipate that any potential tax adjustments will have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations. We were not subject to, nor have we received any notice of, income tax examinations in any jurisdiction as of December 31, 2017. |

| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Royalties We license technology from third parties and have agreed to pay certain suppliers a royalty based on the number of chips sold or manufactured, the net sales price of the chips containing the licensed technology or a fixed non-cancelable fee. Royalty expense is recognized based on our estimated average unit cost for royalty contracts with non-cancelable prepayments and the stated contractual per unit rate for all other agreements. Royalty expense was $1,017, $722 and $826 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which is included in cost of revenue in our consolidated statements of operations. 401(k) Plan We sponsor a 401(k) plan for eligible employees. Participants may defer a percentage of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis, not to exceed the dollar limit that is set by law. A discretionary matching contribution by the Company is allowed and is equal to a uniform percentage of the amount of salary reduction elected to be deferred, which percentage will be determined each year by the Company. We made no contributions to the 401(k) plan during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 or 2015. Leases We acquire rights to use certain software engineer design tools under software licenses, accounting for such arrangements is similar to capital leases. Our various office space and equipment leases are classified as operating leases. Certain of our leases for office space contain provisions under which monthly rent escalates over time and certain leases also contain provisions for reimbursement of a specified amount of leasehold improvements. When lease agreements contain escalating rent clauses, we recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. When lease agreements provide allowances for leasehold improvements, we capitalize the leasehold improvement assets and amortize them on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset, and reduce rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease by the amount of the asset capitalized. When lease agreements provide rent holidays, we reduce rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease by the amount of the rent holiday. As of December 31, 2017, future minimum payments under non-cancelable software licenses and operating lease agreements are as follows:
Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $2,488, $1,770 and $1,735, respectively. Other Contractual Obligation As part of the Acquisition discussed in "Note 3: Acquisition", we acquired debt associated with an agreement with the Government of Canada called Technology Partnerships Canada ("TPC"). As part of the TPC agreement, ViXS Systems Inc. was provided funding to assist in research and development expenses of which a portion was later required to be repaid because the conditions for repayment were met. The scheduled payments are made on a quarterly basis and end in January 2024. As of December 31, 2017, $381 is included in accrued liabilities and current portion of long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet and $727 is included in long-term liabilities, net of current portion in our consolidated balance sheet. Contract Manufacturers In the normal course of business, we commit to purchase products from our contract manufacturers to be delivered within the next 90 days. In certain situations, should we cancel an order, we could be required to pay cancellation fees. Such obligations could impact our immediate results of operations but would not materially affect our business. Indemnifications Certain of our agreements include limited indemnification provisions for claims from third-parties relating to our intellectual property. It is not possible for us to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments or indemnification costs under these or similar agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. We have not made any payments under these agreements in the past, and as of December 31, 2017, we have not incurred any material liabilities arising from these indemnification obligations. In the future, however, such obligations could immediately impact our results of operations but are not expected to materially affect our business. Legal Proceedings We are subject to legal matters that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Although we currently believe that resolving such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, our results of operations, or our cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and our view of these matters may change in the future. |

| Earnings Per Share | EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding include the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. The following schedule reconciles the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except per share data):
The following shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands):
Potentially dilutive common shares from employee equity incentive plans are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units, and the assumed issuance of common stock under the employee stock purchase plan. Potentially dilutive common shares from the convertible debt are determined by applying the if-converted method to the assumed conversion of the outstanding convertible debt. |

| Shareholders' Equity | SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY Preferred Stock The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Board of Directors is authorized to fix or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to, or imposed on, each series of preferred stock. There were no shares of preferred stock issued as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. Common Stock The Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. Shareholders of common stock have unlimited voting rights and are entitled to receive the net assets of the Company upon dissolution, subject to the rights of the preferred shareholders, if any. Employee Equity Incentive Plans On May 23, 2006, our shareholders approved the adoption of the Pixelworks, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2006 Plan"). The 2006 Plan has since been amended on certain occasions, most recently on May 10, 2017 when our shareholders approved an increase to the total number of authorized shares to 11,983,333 shares. As of December 31, 2017, 615,913 shares were available for grant under the 2006 Plan. Stock Options In May 2009, the 2006 Plan was modified to reduce the contractual life of newly issued stock option awards from ten to six years. Our new hire vesting schedule provides that each option becomes exercisable at a rate of 25% on the first anniversary date of the grant and 2.083% on the last day of every month thereafter for a total of 36 additional increments. Our merit vesting schedule provides that merit-type awards become exercisable monthly over a period of three years. The following is a summary of stock option activity:
The following table summarizes information about options outstanding as of December 31, 2017:
During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 the total intrinsic value of options exercised was $1,801, $481 and $440, respectively, for which no income tax benefit has been recorded because a full valuation allowance has been provided for our U.S. deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2017, options outstanding had a total intrinsic value of $5,516. Options outstanding that have vested and are expected to vest as of December 31, 2017 are as follows:
Restricted Stock The 2006 Plan provides for the issuance of restricted stock, including restricted stock units. During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 we granted 1,514,527, 1,572,519, and 530,735 shares, respectively, of restricted stock with a weighted average grant date fair value of $4.87, $2.21, and $4.31 per share, respectively. The following is a summary of restricted stock activity:
Employee Stock Purchase Plans On May 18, 2010, our shareholders approved the adoption of the 2010 Pixelworks, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") for U.S. employees and for certain foreign subsidiary employees. The ESPP provides for separate offering periods commencing on February 1 and August 1, with the first offering period beginning August 1, 2010. Each offering period continues for a period of 18 months with purchases every six months. Each eligible employee may purchase up to 3,000 shares of stock on each purchase date, with a maximum annual purchase amount of $25. The purchase price is equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the shares on the offering date or on the purchase date. A total of 1,300,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the ESPP. During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, we issued 153,242, 141,633 and 92,899 shares, respectively for proceeds of $270, $252 and $352, respectively, under the ESPP. Stock-Based Compensation Expense The fair value of stock-based compensation was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions:
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $2.58, $1.41 and $2.93, respectively. The risk free interest rate is estimated using an average of treasury bill interest rates. The expected dividend yield is zero as we have not paid any dividends to date and do not expect to pay dividends in the future. Expected volatility is estimated based on the historical volatility of our common stock over the expected term as this represents our best estimate of future volatility. Subsequent to the May 2009 amendment of our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, which shortened the contractual life of newly issued stock options from ten to six years, we have elected to use the "simplified method" to estimate expected term. Under the simplified method, an option's expected term is calculated as the average of its vesting period and original contractual life. The expected term of ESPP purchase rights is based on the estimated weighted average time to purchase. As of December 31, 2017, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense is $5,979, which is expected to be recognized as stock-based compensation expense over a weighted average period of 2.32 years. |

Subsequently, certain holders of the convertible debt have elected to convert their convertible debt into shares of common stock of Pixelworks pursuant to the terms of the convertible debt, which provides a conversion price of CAD $7.24 per share for the convertible debt due September 2019 and CAD $7.03 per share for the convertible debt due January 2020. This resulted in the issuance of 435,353 shares of our common stock to such holders. We paid an aggregate of CAD $2,875 to redeem the convertible debt of those holders who did not elect to convert their convertible debt into shares of common stock. |

| Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy | We classify all cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase as cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents, which consist of U.S. denominated money market funds totaled $23,402 and $17,960 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Accounts Receivable, Policy | Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amount and do not bear interest when recorded or accrue interest when past due. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may result from the inability of our customers to make required payments. At the end of each reporting period, we estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts based on an account-by-account risk analysis of outstanding receivable balances. The determination to write-off specific accounts receivable balances is made based on the likelihood of collection and past due status. Past due status is based on invoice date and terms specific to each customer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inventories, Policy | Inventories consist of finished goods and work-in-process, and are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market (net realizable value). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Property and Equipment, Policy | Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets which are generally as follows:
The cost of property and equipment repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Licensed Technology, Policy | We have capitalized licensed technology assets in other long-term assets. These assets are stated at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the license or the estimated life of the asset, if the license is not contractually limited, which is generally two to five years. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Useful Lives and Recoverability of Equipment and Other Long-Lived Assets, Policy | If there is an indicator of impairment, we prepare an estimate of future, undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of each asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, we adjust the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Goodwill, Policy | Goodwill is not amortized, rather tested, at least annually, for impairment at a reporting unit level. Impairment of goodwill is the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit that includes goodwill exceeds its fair value. A goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the amount that the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired. We evaluate impairment using the guidance set forth in FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04") which states that an entity may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If determined to be necessary, the quantitative impairment test shall be used to identify goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized. An entity has an unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to the quantitative goodwill impairment test. Accordingly, we have elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative goodwill impairment test. We tested goodwill for impairment under the quantitative goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2017 and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Revenue Recognition, Policy | We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. For product sales, we require customers to provide purchase orders prior to shipment and we consider delivery to occur upon shipment provided title and risk of loss have passed to the customer based on the shipping terms. These conditions are generally satisfied upon shipment of the underlying product. There are no customer acceptance provisions associated with our products, and except for replacement of defective products under our warranty program discussed below, we have no obligation to accept product returns from end customers; however, we have accepted returns on a case-by-case basis as customer accommodations in the past. As a result, we provide for estimated reductions to gross profit for these sales returns in our reserve for sales returns and allowances. At the end of each reporting period, we estimate the reserve based on historical experience and knowledge of any applicable events or transactions. The reserve is included in accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. A portion of our sales are made to distributors under agreements that grant the distributor limited stock rotation rights and price protection on in-stock inventory. The stock rotation rights allow these distributors to exchange a limited amount of their in-stock inventory for other Pixelworks product. As a result, we provide for estimated reductions to gross profit for these stock rotations in our reserve for sales returns and allowances. At the end of each reporting period, we estimate the reserve based on historical experience and knowledge of any applicable events or transactions. The reserve is included in accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. On occasion, we derive revenue from the license of our internally developed intellectual property ("IP"). IP licensing agreements that we enter into generally provide licensees the right to incorporate our IP components in their products with terms and conditions that vary by licensee. Our license fee arrangements generally include multiple deliverables and we are required to determine whether there is more than one unit of accounting. To the extent that the deliverables are separable into multiple units of accounting, we allocate the total fee on such arrangements to the individual units of accounting using management’s best estimate of selling price ("ESP"), if third party evidence ("TPE") or vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") does not exist. We defer revenue recognition for consideration that is contingent upon future performance or other contractual terms. The Company's process for determining its ESP for deliverables without VSOE or TPE considers multiple factors that may vary depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable. The key factors considered by the Company in developing the ESPs include the nature and complexity of the licensed technologies, our cost to provide the deliverables, the availability of substitute technologies in the marketplace and the Company's historical pricing practices. We then recognize revenue for each unit of accounting depending on the nature of the deliverable(s) comprising the unit of accounting in accordance with the revenue recognition criteria mentioned above. Fees under these agreements generally include (a) license fees relating to our IP, (b) engineering services, and (c) support services. Historically, each of these elements have standalone value and therefore each are treated as separate units of accounting. Any future licensing arrangements will be analyzed based on the specific facts and circumstances which may be different than our historical licensing arrangements. For deliverables related to licenses of our technology that involve significant engineering services, we recognize revenue in accordance with the provisions of the proportional performance method. We determine costs associated with engineering services using actual labor dollars incurred and estimated other direct or incremental costs allocated based on the percentage of time the engineer(s) spent on the project. These costs are deferred until revenue recognition criteria have been met, at which time they are reclassified as cost of revenue. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Warranty Program, Policy | We warrant that our products will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of twelve months from delivery. Warranty repairs are guaranteed for the remainder of the original warranty period. Our warranty is limited to repairing or replacing products, or refunding the purchase price. At the end of each reporting period, we estimate a reserve for warranty returns based on historical experience and knowledge of any applicable events or transactions. The reserve for warranty returns is included in accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Share-Based Compensation, Policy | We currently sponsor a stock incentive plan that allows for issuance of employee stock options and restricted stock awards, including restricted stock units. We also have an employee stock purchase plan for all eligible employees. The fair value of share-based payment awards is expensed straight-line over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, for the entire award. Additionally, any modification of an award that increases its fair value will require us to recognize additional expense. The fair value of our stock option grants and purchase rights under our employee stock purchase plan are estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which is affected by our estimates of the risk free interest rate, our expected dividend yield, expected term and the expected share price volatility of our common shares over the expected term. The fair value of our restricted stock awards are based on the market value of our stock on the date of grant. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Research and Development, Policy | Costs associated with research and development activities are expensed as incurred, except for items with alternate future uses which are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. On occasion, we enter into co-development arrangements with current or prospective integrated circuit ("IC") customers to defray a portion of the research and development expenses we expect to incur in connection with our development of an IC product. As amounts become due and payable, they are offset against research and development expense on a pro-rata basis. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income Taxes, Policy | We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We establish a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets if it is "more likely than not" that a portion or all of the asset will not be realized in future tax returns. An uncertain tax position represents treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return, or planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. Until these positions are sustained by the taxing authorities, we do not recognize the tax benefits resulting from such positions and report the tax effects for uncertain tax positions in our consolidated balance sheets. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy | Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:
