Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS	NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS Acacia Communications, Inc. was incorporated on June 2, 2009, as a Delaware corporation. Acacia Communications, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”) are collectively referred to as the Company. The Company’s mission is to deliver high-speed coherent optical interconnect products that transform communications networks, relied upon by cloud infrastructure operators and content and communication service providers, through improvements in performance and capacity and reductions in associated costs. By implementing optical interconnect technology in a silicon-based platform, a process the Company refers to as the siliconization of optical interconnect, the Company believes it is leading a disruption that is analogous to the computing industry’s integration of multiple functions into a microprocessor. The Company’s products fall into three product groups: embedded modules, pluggable modules and semiconductors. The Company’s embedded module and pluggable module product groups consist of optical interconnect modules with transmission speeds ranging from 100 to 1,200 gigabits per second (“Gbps”), for use in long-haul, metro and inter-data center markets. The Company’s semiconductor product group consists of its low-power coherent digital signal processor application-specific integrated circuits (“DSP ASICs”) and its silicon photonic integrated circuits (“silicon PICs”) which are either integrated into the Company’s embedded and pluggable modules or sold to customers on a standalone basis for integration into internally developed or other merchant modules. The Company is also developing a 400ZR module that will expand its pluggable module product group, and enable inter-data center transmission capacity of 400 Gbps in the same compact pluggable form factors used for 400G client optics, including QSFP-DD and OSFP. The Company’s 400 Gbps pluggable product family will also include a new CFP2-DCO module that supports transmission rates up to 400 Gbps and the OpenROADM specification. The Company’s modules perform a majority of the digital signal processing and optical functions in optical interconnects and offer low power consumption, high density and high speeds at attractive price points. Through the use of standard interfaces, the Company’s modules can be easily integrated with customers’ network equipment. The advanced software in the Company’s modules enables increased configurability and automation, provides insight into network and connection point characteristics and helps identify network performance problems, all of which increase flexibility and reduce operating costs. The Company is headquartered in Maynard, Massachusetts, and has wholly-owned subsidiaries in North America, Europe and Asia. Proposed Merger with Cisco Systems On July 8, 2019, the Company, Cisco Systems, Inc., a California corporation (the “Parent”), and Amarone Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent (the “Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent. The Merger Agreement was adopted by the Company’s stockholders at a special meeting held on September 6, 2019. Completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) obtaining antitrust approval in China, (ii) the absence of governmental injunctions or other legal restraints prohibiting the Merger or imposing certain antitrust restraints and (iii) the absence of a “Material Adverse Effect,” as defined in the Merger Agreement. The Company and the Parent have already received antitrust clearance for the Merger in the United States, Germany and Austria. Other than customary closing conditions that are to be satisfied at the time of closing, regulatory clearance from the State Administration for Market Regulation of the People’s Republic of China represents the only remaining outstanding closing condition set forth in the Merger Agreement. If the Merger is completed, each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, subject to certain exceptions, will be converted into the right to receive $70.00 in cash. The parties expect the Merger to close no later than the third business day following the satisfaction or waiver of these closing conditions. For additional information related to the Merger Agreement, refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 9, 2019, which includes the full text of the Merger Agreement as Exhibit 2.1. The Company recorded an immaterial amount of acquisition-related costs during the three months ended September 30, 2020, $6.4 million of acquisition-related costs during the three months ended September 30, 2019, and $1.6 million and $7.0 million of acquisition-related costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, in sales, general and administrative expense within our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Impact of COVID-19 An outbreak of the novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (“SARS-CoV-2”), and the coronavirus disease, COVID-19, was identified in China in late 2019 and has spread globally. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recognized this outbreak as a pandemic which has resulted in authorities imposing, and businesses and individuals implementing, numerous unprecedented measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place/stay-at-home and social distancing orders and shutdowns. These measures have impacted and may further impact the Company’s workforce and operations, the operations of the Company’s customers, and those of the Company’s and its customers’ respective vendors, suppliers and partners. While the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial results for the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2020, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic could impact the Company’s results of operations going forward depends on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the adverse impact of negative economic conditions created or exacerbated by the pandemic, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus and required or voluntary actions to contain its impact. Due to the inherent uncertainty of this unprecedented and evolving situation, the Company is unable to predict with any confidence the likely impact of COVID-19 on its future business, results of operations and financial condition. Additional information regarding COVID-19 related risks and uncertainties may be found in the section titled “Risk Factors” under Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Acacia Communications, Inc. and its Subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. For further information, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on February 18, 2020. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K that have had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, and in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020, its condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, its condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, its condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial data and the other financial information disclosed in the notes to these condensed consolidated financial statements related to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are also unaudited. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other period. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 is intended to provide more decision-useful information about expected credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables, and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The main provisions include presenting financial assets measured at amortized cost at the amount expected to be collected, which is net of an allowance for expected credit losses, and recording credit losses related to available-for-sale securities through an allowance for credit losses. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective approach. There was no impact from the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is exposed to credit losses through sales of its products. The Company determines if there is an expected loss on its accounts receivables using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of customers' trade accounts receivables. The Company has not recorded any allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. Refer to Note 4 for information regarding how the Company assesses credit losses on its available-for-sale debt securities. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by, among other things, eliminating certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, ASU 2019-12 will require companies to apply certain aspects of this standard retrospectively for all periods presented, while requiring other aspects to be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company expects the impact of adopting this new standard to be immaterial to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
REVENUE	REVENUE The opening and closing balances of the Company’s accounts receivable and deferred revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are as follows (in thousands): Balance at Beginning of Period Increase / (Decrease) Balance at End of Period Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Accounts receivable $ 97,948 39,298 $ 137,246 Deferred revenue (current) $ 4,483 2,490 $ 6,973 Deferred revenue (non-current) $ 3,444 (2,721) $ 723 The amount of revenue recognized in the period that was included in the opening deferred revenue balances was approximately $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Generally, increases in current and non-current deferred revenue are related to billings to, or advance payments from, customers for which the Company has not yet fulfilled its performance obligations, and decreases are related to revenue recognized. Deferred revenue not expected to be recognized within the Company’s operating cycle of one year is presented as a component of “Other long-term liabilities” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At times, the Company receives orders for products that may be delivered over multiple dates that may extend across reporting periods. The Company invoices for each delivery upon shipment and recognizes revenues for each distinct product delivered, assuming transfer of control has occurred. Generally, scheduled delivery dates are within one year, and the Company has elected to use the optional exemption whereby revenues allocated to partially completed contracts with an expected duration of one year or less are not disclosed. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had no contracts with unsatisfied performance obligations with a duration of more than one year. Disaggregation of Revenue The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue based on product group (in thousands).

The investments with unrealized losses consisted primarily of corporate debt securities. In making the determination that the decline in fair value of these securities did not indicate impairment, the Company considered various factors, including, but not limited to: the extent to which fair value was less than cost; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuers; and the Company’s intent not to sell these securities and the assessment that it is more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis. Unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. No material amounts were reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 for realized gains or losses on available-for-sale investments.

LEASES

LEASES	9 Months Ended

Leases [Abstract]
LEASES	LEASES The Company leases real estate assets and equipment. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the related right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. Many leases include fixed rental escalation clauses, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into the determination of lease payments when appropriate. The Company’s leases do not usually provide a readily determinable implicit discount rate; therefore, an estimate of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement, including observable rates, adjusted for various factors including financing spreads and other lease specific adjustments, as applicable. The Company has elected not to record an ROU asset and lease obligation for short-term leases (with terms less than 12 months) or separate non-lease components from associated lease components for its real estate lease assets. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to eight years. Some leases include one or more options to renew with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from three years to five years, or options to terminate the leases, both at the Company’s discretion. The Company’s lease terms include options to extend or terminate leases when the Company concludes it is reasonably certain that it would exercise those options. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any variable lease payments, material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The table below presents the lease-related assets and liabilities recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 (in thousands): Classification on the Balance Sheet September 30, 2020 Assets Operating lease assets Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 29,470 Liabilities Current - operating Accrued liabilities 4,455 Noncurrent - operating Noncurrent operating lease liabilities 18,972 Total lease liabilities $ 23,427 Weighted-average remaining lease term - operating leases 6.3 years Weighted-average discount rate - operating leases 4.21 % Operating lease costs were $1.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and $4.5 million and $4.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Short-term lease costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were immaterial. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities was $1.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and $3.3 million and $3.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which were operating cash outflows.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2020
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy, as follows: Level 1 —Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 —Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 —Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s investments are in money market funds, U.S. treasury bonds, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, asset-backed securities and corporate debt securities, which are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy, and were initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued at each reporting date utilizing market-observable data. The market-observable data included reportable trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, broker/dealer quotes, bids, offers, current spot rates and other industry and economic events. The fair value of these assets measured on a recurring basis was determined using the following inputs as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands): September 30, 2020 Quoted Prices in Active Markets Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Unobservable Inputs Total Fair Value Assets: Money market funds $ — $ 45,102 $ — $ 45,102 U.S. treasury bonds — 49,910 — 49,910 Commercial paper — 60,485 — 60,485 Certificates of deposit — 11,921 — 11,921 Asset-backed securities — 32,614 — 32,614 Corporate debt securities — 181,261 — 181,261 Total $ — $ 381,293 $ — $ 381,293 December 31, 2019 Quoted Prices in Active Markets Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Unobservable Inputs Total Fair Value Assets: Money market funds $ — $ 2,010 $ — $ 2,010 U.S. treasury bonds — 116,835 — 116,835 Commercial paper — 44,300 — 44,300 Certificates of deposit — 24,539 — 24,539 Asset-backed securities — 73,499 — 73,499 Corporate debt securities — 181,079 — 181,079 Total $ — $ 442,262 $ — $ 442,262 There were no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2020 or 2019. For certain other financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these balances.

No stock option awards were issued by the Company during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2020 or 2019. Restricted Stock Units During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company granted approximately 175,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan that vest upon the satisfaction of a service condition, generally over four years. The cost of any RSUs with only a service condition is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and compensation is recognized on a ratable basis over the requisite vesting period. As soon as practicable following each vesting date of RSUs, the Company will issue to the holder of the RSUs the number of shares of common stock equal to the aggregate number of RSUs that have vested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, in lieu of issuing shares of common stock to the holder of the RSUs, pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of such shares of common stock. To date, the Company has not settled any vested RSUs with cash. A summary of the changes in the Company’s RSUs during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is as follows: RSUs Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding at December 31, 2019 1,951 $ 48.69 Granted 175 $ 68.18 Vested (601) $ 41.24 Canceled (5) $ 56.35 Outstanding at September 30, 2020 1,520 $ 53.86 As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there was $56.4 million and $70.1 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs which will be recognized over weighted-average periods of 2.1 years and 2.1 years, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Warranties The Company’s standard warranty obligation to its customers provides for repair or replacement of a defective product at the Company’s discretion for a period of time following purchase, generally between 12 and 24 months. Factors that affect the warranty obligation include product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting product failures. In addition, from time to time, specific warranty accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise. The estimated cost associated with fulfilling the Company’s warranty obligation to customers is recorded in cost of revenue. Changes in the Company’s warranty liability, which is included as a component of accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, are set forth in the table below (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Warranty reserve, beginning of period $ 9,629 $ 10,833 $ 10,354 $ 8,220 Provisions made to warranty reserve during the period 382 2,431 4,271 12,067 Charges against warranty reserve during the period (1,956) (2,730) (6,570) (9,753) Warranty reserve, end of period $ 8,055 $ 10,534 $ 8,055 $ 10,534 Legal Contingencies On January 21, 2016, ViaSat, Inc. (“ViaSat”) filed a lawsuit in California state court, 37-2016-00002323-CU-BC-NC, later removed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, against the Company alleging, among other things, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and misappropriation of trade secrets. On February 19, 2016, the Company responded to ViaSat’s lawsuit and alleged counterclaims against ViaSat including, among other things, patent misappropriation, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, misappropriation of trade secrets and unfair competition. In its response filed March 16, 2016, ViaSat denied the Company’s counterclaims. On September 28, 2018 the matter was remanded back to the California Superior Court, County of San Diego, North County Division 3:16-cv-00463, D.I. 197. In April 2019, the California Superior Court denied the parties’ cross motions for summary adjudication. At the court’s direction, the parties participated in a mandatory mediation process, but no resolution was reached. Trial took place in June and July of 2019, and the jury returned a verdict on July 17, 2019. The jury found against the Company for breach of contract, willful and malicious misappropriation of trade secrets, and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing implied by law in the parties’ contract. The jury also found that ViaSat breached the same contract and misappropriated the Company’s trade secrets. The jury awarded damages of $49.3 million to ViaSat for the Company’s breaches of contract, and $1 to ViaSat for its trade secret misappropriation claim. The jury awarded $1 to the Company for ViaSat’s misappropriation of trade secrets and awarded no damages to the Company for ViaSat’s breach of contract. ViaSat filed post-trial motions seeking up to approximately $10.0 million for attorney’s fees and approximately $6.2 million for so-called “cost-of-proof” sanctions and an order that the Company pay ViaSat ongoing royalties on sales after December 31, 2018. ViaSat also sought a new trial and judgment in its favor notwithstanding the verdict on its trade secret damages claim. The Company filed post-trial motions for entry of judgment in its favor notwithstanding the verdict on ViaSat’s breach of contract and trade secret damages claims and for a new trial, and moved to reduce the total damages awarded to ViaSat to no more than $12.8 million pursuant to a provision of the contract containing a limitation on liability for claims arising from the contract. The Court denied the post-trial motions filed by both parties, and on December 5, 2019, the Court entered judgment (the “December 2019 Judgment”) against the Company in the amount of $49.3 million, and against ViaSat in the amount of $1. On January 17, 2020, the Court awarded ViaSat an additional $0.1 million in costs. On December 20, 2019, the Company filed a notice of appeal of the December 2019 Judgment, and ViaSat filed a notice of cross-appeal on December 26, 2019. The parties’ respective appeals are pending and the Company filed its opening appellate brief on August 19, 2020. ViaSat’s responsive brief is due November 17, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has accrued a total of $28.0 million in litigation and settlement-related accruals. The amount of such accruals is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and known and unknown uncertainties, which may change quickly and significantly from time to time. As a result, actual losses could significantly exceed the amount of such accruals, and no conclusion as to the Company’s ultimate exposure from these proceedings should be drawn from such accruals. In view of the numerous legal, technical and factual issues involved in this lawsuit, the Company is not able to provide an estimate of the likely outcome or range of outcomes, if any, at this time. On November 6, 2019, ViaSat filed a second lawsuit in California Superior Court, County of San Diego, North County Division, 37-2019-00060731, D.I. 01, against the Company alleging breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and misappropriation of trade secrets. ViaSat’s complaint relies on the verdict in the first lawsuit, seeks damages on sales of the Company’s products after December 31, 2018, and its claims for relief include preliminary and permanent injunctive relief prohibiting sales of the Company’s products alleged by ViaSat to misappropriate its trade secrets. On January 17, 2020, the Company responded to ViaSat’s second lawsuit with a general denial and moved to stay the case. On February 28, 2020, the court issued an order granting the Company’s motion to stay the case pending outcome of the appeal in the first lawsuit. In view of the numerous legal, technical and factual issues involved in this lawsuit, the Company is not able to provide an estimate of the likely outcome or range of outcomes, if any, at this time. On June 9, 2020, ViaSat filed a third lawsuit in California Superior Court, County of San Diego, North County Division, Case No. 37-2020-00019223, against the Company alleging breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and misappropriation of trade secrets. ViaSat’s complaint concerns different products than those involved in the first two suits. ViaSat claims such products also use ViaSat’s confidential information and trade secrets, and ViaSat’s claims for relief include damages and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief prohibiting sales of the Company’s products alleged by ViaSat to misappropriate its trade secrets. The Company filed a demurrer in response to the complaint on July 30, 2020 and the Court stayed the action until after the resolution of the appeal of the December 2019 Judgment. In view of the numerous legal, technical and factual issues involved in this lawsuit, the Company is not able to provide an estimate of the likely outcome or range of outcomes, if any, at this time. On July 28, 2017, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Superior Court - Business Litigation Session against ViaSat asserting commercial disparagement, libel, slander of title, unfair competition, intentional interference with advantageous relations and intentional interference with contractual relations. On April 5, 2018, ViaSat responded to the Company’s action and alleged counterclaims including, among other things, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, misappropriation of trade secrets, and unfair competition. On December 13, 2018, the Massachusetts court entered an order staying the Massachusetts litigation pending resolution of the first California state court action discussed above. On December 12, 2019, the Massachusetts court entered an order continuing the stay of the Massachusetts litigation to and including July 10, 2020. On July 6, 2020, the Massachusetts court entered an order continuing the stay of the Massachusetts litigation to and including December 4, 2020. The litigation matters described above are referred to collectively as the ViaSat litigation. The Company intends to continue to engage in a vigorous defense and pursuit of Company-favorable judgments of the ongoing litigation matters described above. The ultimate resolution of these proceedings may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows, potentially in the near term. In addition, the timing of the final resolution of these proceedings is uncertain. The Company will continue to incur litigation and other expenses as a result of these proceedings, which could have a material impact on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, from time to time the Company may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that the final outcome of these ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. Surety Bond On December 20, 2019, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal to appeal the final judgment issued by the California Superior Court in the ViaSat litigation. In order to stay the execution of the final judgment pending its appeal, the Company filed a surety bond in the amount of $75.0 million as provided by California Code of Civil Procedure Sec. 917.1. The bond is issued by the Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Company (“Philadelphia Indemnity”). In support of the bond, the Company entered into an indemnity agreement with Philadelphia Indemnity to indemnify it from any liability or loss under the bond. The indemnity agreement does not require collateral to be posted at the time of the issuance of the bond. However, Philadelphia Indemnity may on demand require deposit of an amount sufficient to fund any liability or loss. For additional information, see the discussion regarding the ViaSat litigation under “Legal Contingencies” above. Indemnification In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into various agreements containing standard indemnification provisions. The Company’s indemnification obligations under such provisions are typically in effect from the date of execution of the applicable agreement through the end of the applicable statute of limitations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred an immaterial amount of expenses related to these indemnification obligations. Currently, the Company does not anticipate significant claims related to these indemnification obligations, and consequently, has concluded that the fair value of these obligations is not material. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, no material amounts have been accrued related to such indemnification provisions.

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES	9 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The Company is subject to income tax in the United States as well as other tax jurisdictions in which it conducts business. Earnings from non-U.S. activities are subject to local country income tax. As a result of the concept of “deemed distributions” under the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the impact of global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”) on the Company’s future foreign earnings, and lack of certain foreign governments’ withholding tax imposed on dividends, the Company no longer takes the position that most of its foreign earnings are permanently reinvested. For certain foreign operating subsidiaries, the Company continues to take the position that earnings are permanently reinvested. The Company’s tax provision for interim periods has historically been determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in that quarter. The Company’s quarterly tax (benefit) provision, and its quarterly estimate of its annual effective tax rate, are subject to significant volatility due to several factors, including the Company’s ability to accurately predict its pre-tax income and loss in multiple jurisdictions, as well as the portions of stock-based compensation that will either not generate tax benefits or the tax benefit is unpredictable and reflected when realized by employees. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $1.7 million as compared to an income tax benefit of $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, resulting in an effective tax rate of 6.4% and (21.2)% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $0.9 million as compared to an income tax benefit of $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, resulting in an effective tax rate of 1.7% and (54.1)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The income tax expense recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily a result of the Company’s pre-tax income position, partially offset by the recognition of excess tax benefits from the taxable compensation on share-based awards recognized in the periods and federal and state research and development credits. The income tax benefit recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily due to the recognition of excess tax benefits from the taxable compensation on share-based awards recognized in the periods and federal and state research and development credits. The Company’s historical income tax provision (benefit) is not necessarily reflective of its future tax provisions or results of operations. In the normal course of business, the Company is potentially subject to examination by tax authorities throughout the United States and other foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates. All tax years since inception remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or state tax authorities, as carryforward attributes generated in prior period tax years may still be adjusted upon examination if they have or will be used in a future period. The Company also files foreign tax returns in the foreign jurisdictions in which it operates when required. The Company is currently being audited by the IRS for income tax years 2014 through 2017 and the state of New Jersey for income tax years 2015 through 2017. There are currently no foreign examinations in process. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company identified $7.8 million and $6.8 million, respectively, of gross uncertain tax positions. Included in those balances as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are $3.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. These have been accrued for as long-term liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s existing tax positions are expected to continue to generate an increase in unrecognized tax benefits in subsequent periods. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the amounts recorded related to interest and penalties were immaterial in each period. On July 27, 2015, in Altera Corp. v. Commissioner, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion invalidating the regulations relating to the treatment of stock-based compensation expense in an intercompany cost-sharing arrangement. The Tax Court issued its final decision in December 2015, and under Internal Revenue Code Section 7482(b), that decision was appealable to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The IRS appealed in June 2016, and after withdrawing an initial decision that would have affirmed the Tax Court, on June 7, 2019, the Court of Appeals reversed the 2015 decision of the Tax Court and upheld the cost-sharing regulations. The Court of Appeals denied Altera’s petition for rehearing on July 22, 2019, and the United States Supreme Court denied Altera’s petition for certiorari on June 22, 2020. The Tax Court will treat the Court of Appeals decision in Altera as precedential in cases that come before the Tax Court that are appealable to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. If the Company were to challenge a proposed federal income tax deficiency in the Tax Court, however, any decision in its case would be appealable under Internal Revenue Code Section 7482(b) to the First Circuit Court of Appeals. In such a case, the Tax Court would be at liberty to follow its original decision in Altera. As a result, as of September 30, 2020, the Company has determined that the decision of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals does not require any adjustment to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the Company were to adjust its consolidated financial statements to reflect the impact of following the decision of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Altera, the Company estimates that the potential impact on its prior year tax liabilities would be as much as $6.3 million on a financial statement basis. On March 27, 2020, Congress enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act to provide certain relief as a result of the global spread of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. The Company is currently evaluating how provisions in the CARES Act will impact the Company’s income tax obligations, if at all, or its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, but expects it to have an immaterial effect.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT INFORMATION AND GEOGRAPHIC DATA	SEGMENT INFORMATION AND GEOGRAPHIC DATA The Company operates as one operating segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is the Company’s president and chief executive officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The CODM evaluates the Company’s financial information and resources and assesses the performance of these resources on a consolidated basis. Since the Company operates in one operating segment, all required financial segment information can be found in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenue by country, based on ship-to destinations, which in certain instances may be the location of a contract manufacturer rather than the Company’s end customer, was as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 United States $ 18,894 $ 23,113 $ 73,096 $ 50,829 China 36,790 33,364 107,271 114,206 Germany 8,512 15,200 22,204 38,946 Thailand 66,348 20,329 123,309 66,061 Other 27,912 27,585 93,417 65,948 Total revenue $ 158,456 $ 119,591 $ 419,297 $ 335,990 Total long-lived assets by country consisted of the following as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands): September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 United States $ 18,728 $ 18,325 Thailand 5,110 3,870 China 1,678 1,949 Other 2,671 2,657 Total long-lived assets $ 28,187 $ 26,801

RELATED PARTIES	RELATED PARTIES One of the members of the Company’s board of directors, Vincent Roche, is also the President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the board of directors of Analog Devices, Inc. (“ADI”). The Company, through its contract manufacturers, periodically purchases supplies from ADI pursuant to purchase orders negotiated on an arm’s length basis between ADI and the Company’s contract manufacturers at prevailing prices. These purchased supplies are used as content in certain of the Company’s manufactured products. Based on shipments during the respective periods, the Company’s contract manufacturers made purchases from ADI of approximately $2.5 million and $1.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $6.1 million and $3.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In 2018, the Company entered into a product development agreement with ADI related to the development of integrated circuits for $1.5 million, of which $0.5 million of costs were incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, and $0.3 million of costs were incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUM_2

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2020
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 is intended to provide more decision-useful information about expected credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables, and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The main provisions include presenting financial assets measured at amortized cost at the amount expected to be collected, which is net of an allowance for expected credit losses, and recording credit losses related to available-for-sale securities through an allowance for credit losses. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective approach. There was no impact from the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is exposed to credit losses through sales of its products. The Company determines if there is an expected loss on its accounts receivables using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of customers' trade accounts receivables. The Company has not recorded any allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. Refer to Note 4 for information regarding how the Company assesses credit losses on its available-for-sale debt securities. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by, among other things, eliminating certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, ASU 2019-12 will require companies to apply certain aspects of this standard retrospectively for all periods presented, while requiring other aspects to be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company expects the impact of adopting this new standard to be immaterial to its condensed consolidated financial statements.
