Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Company Mellanox Technologies, Ltd., an Israeli corporation (the "Company" or "Mellanox"), was incorporated and commenced operations in March 1999. Mellanox is a supplier of high-performance interconnect products for computing, storage and communications applications. Principles of presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company's accounts as well as those of its wholly owned subsidiaries after the elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The year-end balance sheet data were derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures contained in this quarterly report comply with the requirements of Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for a quarterly report on Form 10-Q and are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 , filed with the SEC on February 16, 2018 . The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be anticipated for the entire year ending December 31, 2018 or thereafter. Risks and uncertainties The Company is subject to all of the risks inherent in a company which operates in the dynamic and competitive semiconductor industry. Significant changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations: unpredictable volume or timing of customer orders; ordered product mix; the sales outlook and purchasing patterns of the Company's customers based on consumer demands and general economic conditions; loss of one or more of the Company's customers; decreases in the average selling prices of products or increases in the average cost of finished goods; the availability, pricing and timeliness of delivery of components used in the Company's products; reliance on a limited number of subcontractors to manufacture, assemble, package and production test the Company's products; the Company's ability to successfully develop, introduce and sell new or enhanced products in a timely manner; product obsolescence and the Company's ability to manage product transitions; the timing of announcements or introductions of new products by the Company's competitors; and the Company's ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in the reporting periods. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, allowances for price adjustments, investment valuation, warranty reserves, inventory reserves, share-based compensation expense, long-term asset valuations, useful lives of property, equipment, and intangibles, accounting for business combinations, goodwill and purchased intangible asset valuation, investments in privately-held companies, accounting and fair value of financial instruments and derivatives, deferred income tax asset valuation, uncertain tax positions, and litigation and other loss contingencies. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenue, costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results that the Company experiences may differ materially and adversely from the Company's original estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company's future results of operations will be affected. Significant accounting policies Other than the changes discussed below, there have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies that were disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 , filed with the SEC on February 16, 2018 . On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606-10) , using the modified retrospective method. Prior to the adoption of ASC 606-10, the Company deferred the recognition of revenue and the cost of revenue from sales to distributors until the distributors reported that they had sold the products to their customers (known as “sell though” revenue recognition). Under ASC 606-10, the Company recognizes revenue on sales to all distributors upon shipment and transfer of control (known as “sell-in” revenue recognition), net of estimated allowances for price adjustments. As a result of this adoption, the Company revised its accounting policy for revenue recognition as detailed below. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when (or as) it satisfies performance obligations by transferring promised products or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive. The Company applies the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. The Company considers customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with a customer. For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer tangible products, extended warranty and post-contract customer support, each of which are distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to rebates and adjustments to determine the net consideration to which the Company expects to receive. As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, the contracts have no significant financing component. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling price. Revenue from tangible products is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment. The revenues from fixed-price support or maintenance contracts, including extended warranty contracts and software post-contract customer support agreements, are recognized ratably over the contract period and the costs associated with these contracts are recognized as incurred. The Company's standard arrangements with its customers typically do not allow for rights of return. The Company maintains inventory, or hub arrangements with certain customers. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company delivers products to a customer or a designated third party warehouse based upon the customer's projected needs, but does not recognize product revenue unless and until the customer reports it has removed the Company's product from the warehouse to be incorporated into its end products. A portion of the Company’s sales are made to distributors under agreements which contain price protection provisions. Revenue from sales to distributors is recognized upon shipment and transfer of control, net of estimated allowances for price adjustments. Frequently, distributors submit distribution price adjustment (“DPA”) claims to the Company to adjust the distributor’s cost from the standard price to the pre-approved lower price. After the Company verifies the DPA claim, a credit memo is issued to the distributor. The Company records an allowance for these unprocessed DPA claims and for estimated future DPA claims as a reduction of revenue and a reduction of accounts receivable. The allowance is recorded as a reduction to revenue in the same period that the related revenue is recorded and is calculated based on specific authorized DPA claims and an analysis of historical DPA claims, at the distributor level, over a period of time considered adequate to account for current pricing and business trends. Most of the Company’s distributors are entitled to a limited right of return related to stock rotation. Distributors have the right to return a limited amount of product not to exceed a percentage of distributor’s prior quarter's net purchases. However, a simultaneous, compensating order of equal or greater value must be placed by distributor within the same quarter of the return. Therefore, no stock rotation reserves are recorded. Restricted cash The Company maintains certain cash amounts that are restricted as to withdrawal or use over the long-term. The cash is securing bank guarantees primarily issued against long-term tenancy agreements. The long-term restricted cash balance of $7.9 million was reported in other long-term assets on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 , and was included in the ending balance of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . There was no restricted cash as of September 30, 2017 . The following table provides a reconciliation of the cash and cash equivalents balances reported on the balance sheets and the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances reported in the statements of cash flows: September 30, 2018 2017 (In thousands) Cash and cash equivalents, as reported on the balance sheets $ 64,248 $ 58,416 Restricted cash in other long-term assets, as reported on the balance sheets 7,942 — Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, as reported in the statements of cash flows $ 72,190 $ 58,416 Concentration of credit risk The following table summarizes the revenues from customers (including original equipment manufacturers) in excess of 10% of the total revenues: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Dell Technologies Inc.

Adoption of new accounting principles In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . The standard replaced the revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP under Topic 605, and was required to be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented, or applied using a modified retrospective method with the cumulative effect recognized in the beginning retained earnings during the period of initial application. Subsequently, the FASB issued several additional ASUs related to ASU No. 2014-09, collectively they are referred to as the “new revenue standards”, which became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method. See Note 2, "Revenue" for details about the impact from adopting the new revenue standard and other required disclosures. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 amended various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments, and became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. One aspect that may have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements relates to the measurement of its equity investments in privately-held companies whose fair values are not readily determinable. With the election to use the measurement alternative (as opposed to fair value), the Company measures these equity investments at cost, less impairments, adjusted by observable price changes. No gain or loss was recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of remeasuring the Company's equity investments in privately-held companies. Recent accounting pronouncements In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This ASU clarifies the accounting treatment for implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements (hosting arrangements) that are service contracts. This standard becomes effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the effect that this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. The standard provides an additional transition method that allows entities to apply the new leases standard at adoption date and recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company will elect this new transition method when it adopts ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . The standard requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability and requires leases to be classified as either an operating or a finance type lease. The standard excludes leases of intangible assets or inventory. Early adoption of the standard is allowed. The standard becomes effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. The Company expects that the adoption of the standard will have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets due to the recognition of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to the Company's operating leases. In addition, a material portion of the Company's leases are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, mainly in New Israeli Shekels ("NIS"). As a result, the associated lease liabilities will be remeasured using the current exchange rate in the future reporting periods, which may result in material foreign exchange gains or losses. The Company is currently reviewing its options to address this foreign exchange exposure. Other than the matters discussed above, the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or cash flows. The Company is continuing its assessment, which may identify additional impacts this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
REVENUE | REVENUE On January 1, 2018 , the Company adopted ASC Topic 606-10 using the modified retrospective method and applied the standard to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018 . Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606-10, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the historic accounting under Topic 605.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS: Fair value hierarchy: The Company measures its cash equivalents and marketable securities at fair value. The Company’s cash equivalents are classified within Level 1. Cash equivalents are valued primarily using quoted market prices utilizing market observable inputs. The Company's investments in debt securities and certificates of deposits are classified within Level 2 as the market inputs to value these instruments consist of market yields, reported trades and broker/dealer quotes. In addition, foreign currency contracts are classified within Level 2 as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments. The Level 3 valuation inputs include the Company's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument's valuation. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the Company did not have any assets or liabilities valued based on Level 3 valuations.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES | DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES: The Company enters into foreign currency forward and option contracts with financial institutions to protect against foreign exchange risks, mainly the exposure to changes in the exchange rate of the NIS against the U.S. dollar that are associated with forecasted cash flows and existing assets and liabilities. The Company accounts for its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities and carries them at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Fair Value of Derivative Contracts The fair value of derivative contracts in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows: Other current assets Accrued liabilities Other current assets Accrued liabilities September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 (in thousands) Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Currency forward and option contracts $ 23 $ 882 $ 980 $ — Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Currency forward and option contracts $ — $ 18 $ 2 $ 17 Total derivatives $ 23 $ 900 $ 982 $ 17 The gross notional amounts of derivative contracts were NIS denominated.

The lease term expires 10 years after lease inception with no options to extend the lease term. The Company's occupancy of the additional office space and its obligation under the lease agreement was contingent on the lessor's attainment of stated milestones in the lease agreement. The estimated total future lease obligation is approximately $30.3 million . As of September 30, 2018 , substantially all of the contingencies have been resolved, and the future lease obligation has been included in the future minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases as reported above. Royalty-bearing grants In April 2018, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Israeli Innovation Authority, formerly known as the Office of the Chief Scientist of Israel's Ministry of Economy and Industry (the "IIA"), which eliminated the future contingent royalty payment obligations of the Company (approximately $36.4 million at March 31, 2018) and the associated future interest payments. These obligations were related to the funding the Company received from the IIA prior to the date of the agreement under approved plans in accordance with the Israeli Law for Encouragement of Research, Development and Technological Innovation in Industry, 1984 and the regulations and rules of the IIA (the "R&D Law"). As part of the agreement, the Company paid approximately $9.3 million to the IIA and the expense was included in cost of revenues during the second quarter of 2018. The Company could be subject to the payment to the IIA of transfer fees or license fees, if the related know-how is transferred outside of Israel. Unrecognized tax benefits Due to the inherent uncertainty with respect to the timing of future cash outflows associated with the Company's unrecognized tax benefits, it is unable to reliably estimate the timing of cash settlement with the respective taxing authorities. As of September 30, 2018 , the Company's unrecognized tax benefits totaled $48.9 million , out of which an amount of $23.7 million would reduce the Company's income tax expense and effective tax rate, if recognized. Contingencies Legal proceedings The Company is involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including actions with respect to contracts, intellectual property, taxation, employment, benefits, securities, personal injuries and other matters. The results of these proceedings in the ordinary course of business are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability will be incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, at least quarterly, developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability and the estimated amount of a loss or potential loss. The Company may be unable to reasonably estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss for a particular legal contingency for various reasons, including, among others: (i) if the damages sought are indeterminate; (ii) if proceedings are in the early stages; (iii) if there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending proceedings (including motions and appeals); (iv) if there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of settlement and the outcome of any negotiations with respect thereto; (v) if there are significant factual issues to be determined or resolved; (vi) if the proceedings involve a large number of parties; (vii) if relevant law is unsettled or novel or untested legal theories are presented; or (viii) if the proceedings are taking place in jurisdictions where the laws are complex or unclear. In such instances, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss, if any. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES: As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $48.9 million and $45.2 million , respectively. It is the Company’s policy to classify accrued interest and penalties as part of the unrecognized tax benefits and record the expense in the provision for income taxes. The amount of accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits totaled $ 2.6 million at September 30, 2018 and $1.6 million at December 31, 2017 . During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , the Company released $26.1 million of valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") and tax credit carryforwards related to its U.S. subsidiaries. After the discontinuation of the Company’s 1550nm silicon photonics development activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company expects its U.S. subsidiaries will have sufficient taxable income in the future to utilize the deferred tax assets before they expire. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts was enacted into law. The new legislation contains several key tax provisions that will impact the Company. Changes include, but are not limited to, a corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, a one-time repatriation tax on accumulated foreign earnings, an elimination of U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, a limitation on the tax deductibility of interest expense, limitations to the deductibility of executive officers remuneration, and a change in rules related to uses and limitations of NOLs created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. The lower corporate income tax rate required the Company to remeasure its U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017 as well as reassess the realizability of its deferred tax assets and liabilities. ASC 740 requires the Company to recognize the effect of the tax law changes in the period of enactment. However, the SEC staff has issued SAB 118 which allowed the Company to record provisional amounts during a measurement period. The Company has concluded that a reasonable estimate could be developed for the effects of the tax reform, and recorded a provisional decrease to deferred tax assets of $3.2 million and corresponding decrease to the valuation allowance as of December 31, 2017. However, due to the fundamental changes of the tax law, the accounting complexity, and the expected ongoing guidance and accounting interpretations during the measurement period, the Company considers the accounting for the deferred tax remeasurement and other items to be incomplete. These effects have been included in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 as provisional amounts. During the measurement period, the Company might need to reflect adjustments to the provisional amounts upon obtaining, preparing, or analyzing additional information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the enactment date that, if known, would have affected the income tax effects initially reported as provisional amounts. No adjustments to the provisional amounts were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . The measurement period will end when the Company obtains, prepares, and analyzes the information needed in order to complete the accounting requirements under ASC Topic 740 or on December 22, 2018, whichever is earlier. The Company expects to complete its analysis within the measurement period in accordance with SAB 118. On August 21, 2018, the Internal Revenue Service issued Notice 2018-68 providing guidance regarding amendments to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code contained in the Tax Act (“IRS Guidance”), which limit tax deductions for compensation granted to certain executives. Our provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes the impact of this tax deduction limitation. However, the impact is not material. As of September 30, 2018 , the 2014 through 2017 tax years are open and may be subject to potential examinations in the United States. The Company has NOLs in the United States from prior tax periods beginning in 2003 which may be subject to examination upon utilization in future tax periods. As of September 30, 2018 , the 2013 through 2017 tax years are open and may be subject to potential examinations in Denmark and Israel. As of September 30, 2018 , the income tax returns of the Company and one of its subsidiaries in Israel are under examination by the Israeli Income Tax Authorities for certain years from 2013 to 2015 . The Company's operations in Israel were granted "Approved Enterprise" status by the Investment Center in the Israeli Ministry of Economy and Industry and "Beneficiary Enterprise" status from the Israeli Income Tax Authority, which makes the Company eligible for tax benefits under the Israeli Law for Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the "Encouragement Law"). Under the terms of the Beneficiary Enterprise program, income that is attributable to the Company's operations in Yokneam, Israel, is exempt from income tax commencing fiscal year 2011 through 2021 . Income that is attributable to the Company's operations in Tel Aviv, Israel is subject to a reduced income tax rate (generally between 10.0% and the current corporate tax rate, depending on the percentage of foreign investment in the Company) commencing fiscal year 2013 through 2021 . The tax holiday has resulted in a cash tax savings of $18.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , increasing diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.34 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . On June 14, 2017, the Israeli government legislated new regulations regarding the "Preferred Technological Enterprise" regime, under which a company that complies with the terms may be entitled to certain tax benefits. The Company expects that its operation in Israel will comply with the terms of the Preferred Technological Enterprise regime. Therefore, the Company may utilize the tax benefits under this regime after the end of the benefit period of its Approved and Beneficiary Enterprise statuses (i.e. from fiscal year 2022 onwards). Under the new legislation, the majority of the Company’s income from its operations in Yokneam, Israel, will be subject to a corporate rate of 7.5% , while the majority of the income from its operations in Tel-Aviv, Israel, will be subject to a corporate rate of 12.0% . The Company’s effective tax rate is highly dependent upon the geographic distribution of its worldwide earnings or losses, tax regulations and tax holiday benefits in Israel, and the effectiveness of the Company’s tax planning strategies. The Company’s effective tax rates were (34.0)% and (20.9)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the 21.0% federal statutory rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 resulted primarily from the release of valuation allowance of $26.1 million against the deferred tax assets related to U.S. subsidiaries, the excess benefits of share-based compensation, the tax holiday in Israel and foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the federal statutory rates, partially offset by the accrual of unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax positions, non-tax-deductible expenses such as share-based compensation and losses generated from subsidiaries without tax benefit. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous, and the Company is required to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding its income tax exposures. In addition, interpretations of and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations are subject to change over time. Any changes in the Company’s subjective assumptions and judgments could materially affect amounts recognized in its condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations. At September 30, 2018 , the Company maintained a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of certain subsidiaries. The Company assesses its ability to recover its deferred tax assets on an ongoing basis. Significant management judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In evaluating the ability to recover deferred tax assets, the Company considers available positive and negative evidence including its recent cumulative losses, its ability to carry-back losses against prior taxable income and its projected financial results. The Company also considers, commensurate with its objective verifiability, the forecast of future taxable income including the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance may be recorded in the event it is deemed to be more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax asset cannot be realized. Previously established valuation allowances may also be released in the event it is deemed to be more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax asset can be realized. Any release of valuation allowance will be recorded as a tax benefit which will positively impact the Company’s operating results. Management has determined on the basis of the quarterly assessment performed at September 30, 2018 , that these deferred tax assets are not more-likely-than-not to be realized. |

TERM DEBT | TERM DEBT: In connection with the Company’s acquisition of EZchip, on February 22, 2016 , the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Mellanox Technologies, Inc., entered into a $280.0 million variable interest rate Term Debt note maturing February 21, 2019 . Debt issuance costs of $5.5 million on the Term Debt were being amortized to interest expense at the effective interest rate over the contractual term of the Term Debt. The Term Debt allowed for voluntary prepayments at any time and additional term loan borrowings under certain conditions. On April 30, 2018, the Company paid off all outstanding principal and interest related to the Term Debt. As a result, the unamortized debt issuance costs were fully amortized when the outstanding principal and interest were fully paid. |

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] | |
RESTRUCTURING CHARGES | RESTRUCTURING CHARGES: In connection with the discontinuation of its 1550nm silicon photonics development activities, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to wind down the business operations related to these activities, which primarily included terminating employees, exiting contracts with vendors, selling assets, and exiting facilities. The Company recorded no employee separation and severance costs during the three months ended September 30, 2018 , and recorded $3.5 million of such costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . The Company has completed the employee termination activities, and does not expect additional costs related to employee terminations in future periods. The Company recorded no contract exit costs with vendors during the three months ended September 30, 2018 , and recorded $3.4 million of such costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . The Company does not expect additional exit costs in future periods. The Company recorded no impairment charges or losses on disposal of assets during the three months ended September 30, 2018 , and recorded $2.4 million of such costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . The Company does not expect additional losses on the disposal of assets in future periods. As of September 30, 2018 , the Company is still using the facilities related to the discontinued activities and therefore has not recorded any related restructuring charges. The Company expects to record up to $0.5 million of facility related charges in the fourth quarter of 2018. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Principles of presentation | Principles of presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company's accounts as well as those of its wholly owned subsidiaries after the elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The year-end balance sheet data were derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures contained in this quarterly report comply with the requirements of Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for a quarterly report on Form 10-Q and are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 , filed with the SEC on February 16, 2018 . The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be anticipated for the entire year ending December 31, 2018 or thereafter. |
Risks and uncertainties | Risks and uncertainties The Company is subject to all of the risks inherent in a company which operates in the dynamic and competitive semiconductor industry. Significant changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations: unpredictable volume or timing of customer orders; ordered product mix; the sales outlook and purchasing patterns of the Company's customers based on consumer demands and general economic conditions; loss of one or more of the Company's customers; decreases in the average selling prices of products or increases in the average cost of finished goods; the availability, pricing and timeliness of delivery of components used in the Company's products; reliance on a limited number of subcontractors to manufacture, assemble, package and production test the Company's products; the Company's ability to successfully develop, introduce and sell new or enhanced products in a timely manner; product obsolescence and the Company's ability to manage product transitions; the timing of announcements or introductions of new products by the Company's competitors; and the Company's ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses. |
Use of estimates | Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in the reporting periods. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, allowances for price adjustments, investment valuation, warranty reserves, inventory reserves, share-based compensation expense, long-term asset valuations, useful lives of property, equipment, and intangibles, accounting for business combinations, goodwill and purchased intangible asset valuation, investments in privately-held companies, accounting and fair value of financial instruments and derivatives, deferred income tax asset valuation, uncertain tax positions, and litigation and other loss contingencies. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenue, costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results that the Company experiences may differ materially and adversely from the Company's original estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company's future results of operations will be affected. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when (or as) it satisfies performance obligations by transferring promised products or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive. The Company applies the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. The Company considers customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with a customer. For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer tangible products, extended warranty and post-contract customer support, each of which are distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to rebates and adjustments to determine the net consideration to which the Company expects to receive. As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, the contracts have no significant financing component. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling price. Revenue from tangible products is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment. The revenues from fixed-price support or maintenance contracts, including extended warranty contracts and software post-contract customer support agreements, are recognized ratably over the contract period and the costs associated with these contracts are recognized as incurred. The Company's standard arrangements with its customers typically do not allow for rights of return. The Company maintains inventory, or hub arrangements with certain customers. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company delivers products to a customer or a designated third party warehouse based upon the customer's projected needs, but does not recognize product revenue unless and until the customer reports it has removed the Company's product from the warehouse to be incorporated into its end products. A portion of the Company’s sales are made to distributors under agreements which contain price protection provisions. Revenue from sales to distributors is recognized upon shipment and transfer of control, net of estimated allowances for price adjustments. Frequently, distributors submit distribution price adjustment (“DPA”) claims to the Company to adjust the distributor’s cost from the standard price to the pre-approved lower price. After the Company verifies the DPA claim, a credit memo is issued to the distributor. The Company records an allowance for these unprocessed DPA claims and for estimated future DPA claims as a reduction of revenue and a reduction of accounts receivable. The allowance is recorded as a reduction to revenue in the same period that the related revenue is recorded and is calculated based on specific authorized DPA claims and an analysis of historical DPA claims, at the distributor level, over a period of time considered adequate to account for current pricing and business trends. Most of the Company’s distributors are entitled to a limited right of return related to stock rotation. Distributors have the right to return a limited amount of product not to exceed a percentage of distributor’s prior quarter's net purchases. However, a simultaneous, compensating order of equal or greater value must be placed by distributor within the same quarter of the return. Therefore, no stock rotation reserves are recorded. |
Restricted cash | Restricted cash The Company maintains certain cash amounts that are restricted as to withdrawal or use over the long-term. The cash is securing bank guarantees primarily issued against long-term tenancy agreements. |
Adoption of new accounting principles and Recent accounting pronouncements | Adoption of new accounting principles In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . The standard replaced the revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP under Topic 605, and was required to be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented, or applied using a modified retrospective method with the cumulative effect recognized in the beginning retained earnings during the period of initial application. Subsequently, the FASB issued several additional ASUs related to ASU No. 2014-09, collectively they are referred to as the “new revenue standards”, which became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method. See Note 2, "Revenue" for details about the impact from adopting the new revenue standard and other required disclosures. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 amended various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments, and became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. One aspect that may have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements relates to the measurement of its equity investments in privately-held companies whose fair values are not readily determinable. With the election to use the measurement alternative (as opposed to fair value), the Company measures these equity investments at cost, less impairments, adjusted by observable price changes. No gain or loss was recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of remeasuring the Company's equity investments in privately-held companies. Recent accounting pronouncements In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This ASU clarifies the accounting treatment for implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements (hosting arrangements) that are service contracts. This standard becomes effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the effect that this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. The standard provides an additional transition method that allows entities to apply the new leases standard at adoption date and recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company will elect this new transition method when it adopts ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . The standard requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability and requires leases to be classified as either an operating or a finance type lease. The standard excludes leases of intangible assets or inventory. Early adoption of the standard is allowed. The standard becomes effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. The Company expects that the adoption of the standard will have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets due to the recognition of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to the Company's operating leases. In addition, a material portion of the Company's leases are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, mainly in New Israeli Shekels ("NIS"). As a result, the associated lease liabilities will be remeasured using the current exchange rate in the future reporting periods, which may result in material foreign exchange gains or losses. The Company is currently reviewing its options to address this foreign exchange exposure. Other than the matters discussed above, the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or cash flows. The Company is continuing its assessment, which may identify additional impacts this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |
