Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]
Investments in Debt and Marketable Equity Securities (and Certain Trading Assets) Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE D—MARKETABLE SECURITIES and time deposits The Company accounts for investments in marketable securities in accordance with FASB ASC No.320-10 "Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in government and corporate marketable debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each balance sheet date. The Company classifies marketable securities as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported in other comprehensive income. The amortized cost of marketable securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and interest are included in financial income, net. Interest and dividends on securities are included in financial income, net. The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014: Amortized cost Unrealized gains (losses), net Fair value September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 (Unaudited) (Audited) (Unaudited) (Audited) (Unaudited) (Audited) Short term deposits $ 2,583 $ 2,599 $ - $ - $ 2,583 $ 2,599 U.S. GSE securities 23,594 21,085 39 (34 ) 23,633 21,051 Corporate obligations 77,795 80,389 (47 ) (262 ) 77,748 80,127 $ 103,972 $ 104,072 $ (8 ) $ (296 ) $ 103,964 $ 103,777 The amortized cost of marketable debt securities and short-term deposits at September 30, 2015, by contractual maturities, is shown below : Unrealized gains (losses) Amortized cost Gains Losses Fair value Due in one year or less $ 17,677 $ 27 $ (2 ) $ 17,702 Due after one year to five years 86,295 149 (182 ) 86,262 $ 103,972 $ 176 $ (184 ) $ 103,964 The actual maturity dates may differ from the contractual maturities because debtors may have the right to call or prepay obligations without penalties. Management believes that as of September 30, 2015, the unrealized losses in the Company’s investments in all types of marketable securities were temporary and no impairment loss was realized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income. The unrealized losses related to corporate obligations were primarily due to changes in interest rates. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2015. The total fair value of marketable securities with outstanding unrealized losses as of September 30, 2015 amounted to $39,021, while the unrealized losses for these marketable securities amounted to $184. Of the $184 unrealized losses outstanding as of September 30, 2015, a portion of which in the amount of $44 related to marketable securities that were in a loss position for more than 12 months and the remaining portion in the amount of $140 was related to marketable securities that were in a loss position for less than 12 months. Proceeds from maturity of available-for-sale marketable securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $14,157 and $9,896, respectively. Proceeds from sales of available-for-sale marketable securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $11,492 and $40,821, respectively. Net realized losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $26 compared to net realized gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 of $62. The Company determines realized gains or losses on the sale of marketable securities based on a specific identification method. Marketable securities are periodically reviewed for impairment. If management concludes that any marketable security is impaired, management determines whether such impairment is other-than-temporary. Factors considered in making such a determination include the duration and severity of the impairment, the reason for the decline in value and the potential recovery period, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the marketable security before recovery of cost basis. If any impairment is considered other-than-temporary, the marketable security is written down to its fair value through a corresponding charge to financial income, net.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE e—TAXES ON Income The effective tax rate used in computing the provision for income taxes is based on projected fiscal year income before taxes, including estimated income by tax jurisdiction. Tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 does not include tax benefits associated with equity-based compensation expenses. The total amount of net unrecognized tax benefits was $1,388 and $1,031 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company accrues interest and penalties, relating to unrecognized tax benefits, in its provision for income taxes. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had accrued interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits of $156 and $135, respectively. The Company intends to permanently reinvest earnings of its foreign operations and its current operating plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate foreign earnings to fund the Company’s U.S. operations. However, if these funds were needed for the Company’s operations in the United States, the Company would be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes as well as taxes in other countries to repatriate these funds. The determination of the amount of additional taxes related to the repatriation of these earnings is not practicable, as it may vary based on various factors such as the location of the cash and the effect of regulation in the various jurisdictions from which the cash would be repatriated.

Significant Customers Disclosure [Abstract]
Significant Customers Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE f—SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS The Company sells its products primarily through distributors and directly to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and original design manufacturers (ODMs) who incorporate the Company’s products into consumer products. The Company’s future performance will depend, in part, on the continued success of its distributors in marketing and selling its products. The loss of the Company’s distributors and the Company’s inability to obtain satisfactory replacements in a timely manner may harm the Company’s sales and results of operations. In addition, the Company expects that a limited number of customers, varying in identity from period-to-period, will account for a substantial portion of its revenues in any period. The loss of, or reduced demand for products from, any of the Company’s major customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Sales to VTech Holdings Ltd. represented 32% and 34% of the Company’s total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Sales to VTech represented 31% and 36% of the Company’s total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Sales to Guo Wei Electronics Ltd.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE G—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with FASB. ASC No. 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"). Due to the Company’s global operations, it is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of its business. The Company’s treasury policy allows it to offset the risks associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures through the purchase of foreign exchange forward contracts and put options (collectively, "hedging contracts"). The policy, however, prohibits the Company from speculating on hedging contracts for profit. To protect against the increase in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from salary and lease payments of its Israeli facilities denominated in the Israeli currency, the New Israeli Shekels ("NIS"), during the year, the Company instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. The Company hedges portions of the anticipated payroll and lease payments denominated in NIS for a period of one to twelve months with hedging contracts. Accordingly, when the dollar strengthens against the foreign currencies, the decline in present value of future foreign currency expenses is offset by losses in the fair value of the hedging contracts. Conversely, when the dollar weakens, the increase in the present value of future foreign currency cash flows is offset by gains in the fair value of the hedging contracts. These hedging contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, as defined by ASC 815 and are all effective hedges of these expenses. In accordance with ASC 815, for derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge (i.e. hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any gain or loss on a derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the hedged item is recognized in current earnings during the period of change. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had no outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts and outstanding option contracts in the amount of $10,000. These hedging contracts do not contain any credit-risk-related contingency features. See Note K for information on the fair value of these hedging contracts. The fair value of derivative assets and derivative liabilities were $63 and $138, respectively, at September 30, 2015. The Company recorded a net amount of $75 in accrued expenses and other accounts payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2015. The amount recorded as additional expense in research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 that resulted from the above referenced hedging transactions was $487, $48 and $85, respectively. The amount recorded as additional income in research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 that resulted from the above referenced hedging transactions was $3, $0 and $1, respectively. The fair value of the outstanding derivative instruments at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is summarized below: Fair Value of Derivative Instruments Balance Sheet Location September 30, 2 015 December 31, 2014 Derivative Assets (Liabilities) Foreign exchange forward and options contracts Accrued expenses and other accounts payable (*) $ (75 ) $ (618 ) Other accounts receivable and prepaid expenses - - $ (75 ) $ (618 ) (*) Estimated to be reclassified into earnings during 2015 and 2016.

As of September 30, 2015, 1,110,591 shares of common stock remained authorized for repurchase under the Company's board-authorized share repurchase program. Repurchases of common stock are accounted for as treasury stock, and result in a reduction of stockholders’ equity. When treasury shares are reissued, the Company accounts for the reissuance in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 6, "Status of Accounting Research Bulletins" and charges the excess of the repurchase cost over issuance price using the weighted average method to accumulated deficit. In the case where the repurchase cost over issuance price using the weighted average method is lower than the issuance price, the Company credits the difference to additional paid-in capital. During the first nine months of 2015, the Company issued approximately 939,000 shares of common stock out of treasury stock to employees who exercised their stock options, SARs or RSUs, or purchased shares from the Company’s 1993 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE M SEGMENT INFORMATION Description of segments: The Company operates under three reportable segments. The Company's segment information has been prepared in accordance with ASC 280, "Segment Reporting." Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging in business activities about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Company's chief operating decision-maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company's CODM is its Chief Executive Officer, who evaluates the Company's performance and allocates resources based on segment revenues and operating income. The Company's operating segments are as follows: Home, Office and Mobile. The classification of the Company’s business segments is based on a number of factors that management uses to evaluate, view and run its business operations, which include, but are not limited to, customer base, homogeneity of products and technology. A description of the types of products provided by each business segment is as follows: Home - Wireless chipset solutions for converged communication at home. Such solutions include integrated circuits targeted for cordless phones sold in retail or supplied by telecommunication service providers, residential gateway devices supplied by telecommunication service providers which integrate the DECT/CAT-iq functionality and also address home automation applications, as well as fixed-mobile convergence solutions. Office - Comprehensive solution for Voice-over-IP (VOIP) office products, including office solutions that offer businesses of all size low-cost VOIP terminals with converged voice and data applications. Mobile - Products for the mobile market that provides voice enhancement and far-end noise elimination targeted for mobile phone and mobile headsets. Segment data: The Company derives the results of its business segments directly from its internal management reporting system and by using certain allocation methods. The accounting policies the Company uses to derive business segment results are substantially the same as those the Company uses for consolidation of its financial statements. The CODM measures the performance of each business segment based on several metrics, including earnings from operations. The CODM uses these results, in part, to evaluate the performance of, and to assign resources to, each of the business segments. The Company does not allocate to its business segments certain operating expenses, which it manages separately at the corporate level. These unallocated costs include primarily amortization of purchased intangible assets, equity-based compensation expenses, and certain corporate governance costs. Selected operating results information for each business segment was as follows for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014: Three months ended September 30, Revenues Income (loss) from operations 2015 2014 2015 2014 Home $ 28,882 $ 32,292 $ 5,480 $ 5,957 Office 6,254 4,353 (1,646 ) (252 ) Mobile 83 70 (1,703 ) (2,910 ) Total $ 35,219 $ 36,715 $ 2,131 $ 2,795 Selected operating results information for each business segment was as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014: Nine months ended September 30, Revenues Income (loss) from operations 2015 2014 2015 2014 Home $ 95,288 $ 95,492 $ 19,768 $ 16,851 Office $ 15,130 $ 10,315 $ (3,361 ) $ (985 ) Mobile $ 83 $ 70 $ (8,690 ) $ (8,865 ) Total $ 110,501 $ 105,877 $ 7,717 $ 7,001 The reconciliation of segment operating results information to the Company’s consolidated financial information was as follows for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2015: Three months Nine months Income from operations $ 2,131 $ 7,717 Unallocated corporate, general and administrative expenses (486 ) (1,627 ) Equity-based compensation expenses (1,261 ) (3,925 ) Intangible assets amortization expenses (321 ) (963 ) Financial income, net 245 871 Total consolidated income before taxes $ 308 $ 2,073 The reconciliation of segment operating results information to the Company’s consolidated financial information was as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014: Three months Nine months Income from operations $ 2,795 $ 7,001 Unallocated corporate, general and administrative expenses (526 ) (1,657 ) Equity-based compensation expenses (1,296 ) (4,200 ) Intangible assets amortization expenses (397 ) (1,191 ) Financial income, net 86 895 Total consolidated income before taxes $ 762 $ 848

The Company’s Israeli subsidiary is obligated to pay royalties amounting to 5% of the sales of certain products, the development of which benefited from grants received from the OCS in previous years. The obligation to pay these royalties is contingent on actual sales of such products. Grants received from the OCS may become repayable if certain criteria under the grants are not met. In addition, the grants may be required to be repaid with a multiple of up to six times the initial grant amount in case the technology that was developed using these grants are transferred, directly or indirectly, to a third party.
