Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Since reporting our earnings results on April 29, 2021, where we adjusted how we report revenue by product line, the Company has received numerous inquiries regarding quarterly historical revenue data for the audio and high-performance mixed-signal product lines. As a result, we are posting the following financial information to our interactive analyst center on the investor relations website:
Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, we adjusted how we report product line revenue to better represent our business and strategic focus. Sales are designated in two categories: audio and high-performance mixed-signal. While we continue to see new opportunities in audio, we believe our investment in high-performance mixed-signal technologies will drive product diversification and fuel exciting avenues of growth in the coming years. The audio product line includes sales of smart codecs, boosted amplifiers, analog-to-digital converters, digital-to-analog converters and stand-alone digital signal processors. While the majority of this revenue is generated by sales in smartphones, tablets, truly wireless headsets and laptops, this category also includes AR/VR headsets, home theater systems, automotive entertainment systems and professional audio systems. The high-performance mixed-signal product line consists of haptic driver and sensing solutions, camera controllers and power-related components. Later this calendar year, revenue generated by a new power conversion and control IC will also be included in this product line. Although the primary applications for this category are smartphones, tablets, wearables, and laptops, it also includes a small amount of revenue from our legacy industrial and energy applications.
See financial information below detailing our quarterly product line revenue in fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands). Prior periods were retrospectively adjusted.
