| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rates for the three- and six-month periods ended May 4, 2024 and April 29, 2023 were below the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0%, due to lower statutory tax rates applicable to the Company's operations in the foreign jurisdictions in which it earns income. The Company's effective tax rate also includes the effects of the mandatory capitalization and amortization of research and development expenses which began in fiscal 2023 under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The mandatory capitalization requirement decreases the Company's effective tax rate primarily by increasing the foreign-derived intangible income deduction. It is reasonably possible that the balance of gross unrealized tax benefits, including accrued interest and penalties, could decrease by as much as approximately $139.0 million within the next twelve months due to the completion of tax audits, including any administrative appeals. The Company has numerous audits ongoing throughout the world including: an IRS income tax audit for the fiscal years ended October 30, 2021, November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018; a pre-acquisition IRS income tax audit for Maxim's fiscal years ended June 27, 2015 through August 26, 2021; and various U.S. state and local audits and international audits, including an Irish corporate tax audit for the fiscal year ended November 2, 2019. The Company's U.S. federal income tax returns prior to the fiscal year ended November 3, 2018 are no longer subject to examination, except for the applicable Maxim pre-acquisition fiscal years noted above.
