| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The information included herein contains all normal recurring accruals and adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly Silicon Laboratories Inc.’s (the “Company”) financial position, results of its operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 3, 2026 was derived from the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended April 4, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
|
| Principles of Consolidation | These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for the year ended January 3, 2026, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 10, 2026.
|
| Fiscal Period | The Company prepares financial statements on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. Fiscal 2026 will have 52 weeks. Fiscal 2025 had 53 weeks with the extra week occurring in the first quarter of the year. In a 52-week year, each fiscal quarter consists of 13 weeks. |
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Among the significant estimates affecting the financial statements are those related to inventories, goodwill, acquired intangible assets, other long-lived assets, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the financial statements. The Company periodically reviews the assumptions used in its financial statement estimates.

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). This ASU requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The prescribed categories include purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion. This authoritative guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU clarifies and modernizes the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The amendments in the ASU are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Entities may apply the guidance using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832). This ASU establishes authoritative guidance about the recognition, measurement, and presentation of a grant received by a business entity from a government, including guidance for 1) a grant related to an asset and 2) a grant related to income. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Entities may apply the guidance using a modified prospective or modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
