| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes On July 4, 2025, the reconciliation bill, commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), was enacted into law. The OBBBA, among other things, eliminates the requirement to capitalize U.S. R&D expenses, permanently extends certain provisions of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act of 2017 and modifies certain international tax provisions, including changes to the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) and the foreign-derived intangible income regimes, with effective dates beginning in calendar year 2025 and extending through calendar year 2027. As the OBBBA was enacted during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended August 2, 2025, the Company has considered and reflected the impacts on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is in the process of evaluating the financial statement impact of these provisions to future periods, but does not expect the OBBBA to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for GILTI under the deferred method. As a result of the enactment of the OBBBA, which revised the applicable GILTI tax rate for the Company’s fiscal years beginning in 2027 in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company recorded a net deferred tax expense of $153.8 million related to the remeasurement of its GILTI-related deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company has numerous audits ongoing throughout the world including: an IRS income tax audit for the fiscal years ended October 30, 2021 (fiscal 2021), November 2, 2019 (fiscal 2019) and November 3, 2018 (fiscal 2018); a pre-acquisition IRS income tax audit for Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.’s (Maxim) fiscal years ended June 27, 2015 through August 26, 2021; and various U.S. state and local audits and international audits, including Irish corporate tax audits for fiscal 2021. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns prior to fiscal 2018 are no longer subject to examination, except for the applicable Maxim pre-acquisition fiscal years noted above. During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company received an assessment from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019, totaling approximately $267.0 million. The assessment excludes any penalties and interest. The assessment pertains to transfer pricing arrangements between the Company and one of its wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries. The Company firmly disagrees with this assessment and maintains that its transfer pricing is appropriate. Consequently, the Company has not recorded any additional tax liability related to fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019 in relation to this issue, nor to any other periods. The Company intends to vigorously defend its original tax return position and is currently preparing for an appeal with the IRS. Should the IRS ultimately prevail regarding its assessments for fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019, such a resolution, along with any potential impact on subsequent fiscal years, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s income tax expense and net earnings in future periods.
