Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies, which are applied consistently throughout the periods presented, are as follows: A. Financial statements in US dollars Substantially all sales of the Company are made outside of Israel (see Note 13A Transactions and monetary balances in other currencies are translated into the functional currency using the current exchange rate. All exchange gains and losses from remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies are reflected in earnings when they arise. B. Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. C. Estimates and assumptions The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include income taxes, inventories, marketable securities, goodwill, intangible assets and share-based compensation. D. Business combinations The Company accounts for business combination in accordance with ASC No. 805, "Business Combinations". ASC No. 805 requires recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. Any excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over purchase price and any subsequent changes in estimated contingencies are to be recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. E. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of deposit to be cash equivalents. F. Marketable securities The Company classifies its marketable securities as held-to-maturity as they are debt securities in which the Company has the intent and ability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity (HTM) debt securities are recorded at amortized cost adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. Such amortization and accretion are included in the "Financial income, net" line item in the consolidated statements of operations. When other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, the amount of the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings depends on whether the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. A decline in the market value of HTM security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in an impairment to reduce the carrying amount to fair value. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers all available information relevant to the collectibility of the security, including past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts when developing estimate of cash flows expected to be collected. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year end, forecasted performance of the investee, and the general market condition in the geographic area or industry the investee operates in. If the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the other-than-temporary impairment is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings. G. Trade accounts receivable, net Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and its customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the provision for doubtful accounts receivable amounted to US$ 20 thousand. H. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the "weighted average-cost" method. The Company writes down obsolete or slow moving inventory to its net realizable value. I. Assets held for employees’ severance benefits Assets held for employees’ severance benefits represent contributions to severance pay funds and cash surrender value of insurance policies. The assets are recorded at their current cash redemption value. J. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets at the following annual rates: % Machinery and equipment 15 - 33 Office furniture and equipment 6 - 33 Leasehold improvements * * K. Goodwill and other intangible assets Goodwill reflects the excess of the purchase price of business acquired over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Company operates in one operating segment and this segment comprises one reporting unit. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually in accordance with ASC 350, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASC 350 provides an entity the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount prior to performing the two-step goodwill impairment test. If this is the case, the two-step goodwill impairment test is required. If it is more likely than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. If the two-step goodwill impairment test is required, first, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the entity must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation and the residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, step two does not need to be performed. During the year ended December 31, 2018, no impairments were found and therefore no impairment losses were recorded. Intangible assets that are not considered to have an indefinite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 3 years. The acquired customer relationships and current technology are amortized over their estimated useful lives in proportion to the economic benefits realized. This accounting policy results in amortization of such intangible assets in the straight-line method. L. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets In accordance with Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of FASB ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment - Overall long-lived assets, such as property, plant, equipment and purchased intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or an asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. M. Revenue recognition In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a new accounting standard related to revenue recognition. ASC 606 supersedes nearly all U.S. GAAP on revenue recognition and eliminated industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue when a customer obtains control of the promised goods at an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received in exchange for those goods. It also requires increased disclosures including the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows related to contracts with customers. The Company adopted ASC 606 at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2018, and implemented new accounting policies and internal controls necessary to support the requirements of ASC 606. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have any impact on the Company's revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of the promised goods in a contract with a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. Transfer of control occurs once the customer has the contractual right to use the product, generally upon shipment or once delivery and risk of loss has transferred to the customer. The Company accounts for a contract with customer when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties and payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company identifies separated contractual performance obligations and evaluates each distinct performance obligation within a contract, whether it is satisfied at a point in time or over time. All of the Company's performance obligations for the reported periods were satisfied at a point in time. Revenue is allocated among performance obligations in a manner that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to for the promised goods based on standalone selling prices (SSP). SSP are estimated for each distinct performance obligation and judgment may be required in their determination. The best evidence of SSP is the observable price of the product when the Company sell the goods separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers. Until January 1, 2018, revenues from sales of products were recognized upon delivery provided that the collection of the resulting receivable was reasonably assured, there was persuasive evidence of an arrangement, no significant obligations remained and the price was fixed or determinable. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, are excluded from revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. N. Research and development costs Capitalization of software development costs related to programmable components incorporated into the Company's products, are charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, all software costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Judgment is required in determining when technological feasibility of a product is established. The company has determined that technological feasibility for its software components of hardware products is reached after all high-risk development issues have been resolved through coding and testing. Amortization begins once the software is ready for its intended use, generally based on the pattern in which the economic benefits will be consumed. The amortization of these costs is included in cost of revenue over the estimated life of the products. The Company started to capitalize internal software development costs during 2018. The Company did not capitalize any internal software development costs for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, because the cost incurred and the time between technological feasibility and product release was insignificant. Other costs incurred in the research and development of the Company’s products are expensed as incurred. O. Allowance for product warranty The Company grants service warranties related to certain products to end-users. The Company estimates its obligation for such warranties to be immaterial on the basis of historical experience. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include an accrual for warranty obligations. P. Treasury shares Treasury shares are recorded at cost and presented as a reduction of shareholders' equity. Q. Income taxes Deferred taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current assets and liabilities and measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. R. Share-based compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation -Stock Compensation as follows: When portions of an award vest in increments during the requisite service period (graded-vesting award), the Company’s accounting policy is to recognize compensation cost for the award over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. S. Basic and diluted earnings per share Basic income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted income per ordinary share calculation is similar to basic income per ordinary share except that the weighted average of common shares outstanding is increased to include outstanding potential common shares during the period if dilutive. Potential common shares arise from stock options and RSUs, and the dilutive effect is reflected by the application of the treasury stock method. The following table summarizes information related to the computation of basic and diluted income per ordinary share for the years indicated. Year ended December 31 2016 2017 2018 Net income attributable to ordinary shares (US$ thousands) 13,137 21,714 14,637 Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding used in basic income per ordinary share calculation 7,343,696 7,455,528 7,552,094 Add assumed exercise of outstanding dilutive potential ordinary shares 91,485 146,443 105,236 Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding used in diluted income per ordinary share calculation 7,435,181 7,601,971 7,657,330 Basic income per ordinary shares (US$) 1.789 2.912 1.938 Diluted income per ordinary shares (US$) 1.767 2.856 1.912 The weighted average number of shares related to options and RSUs excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because of anti-dilutive effect 9,633 - 171,086 T. Comprehensive Income For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, comprehensive income equals net income. U. Fair Value Measurements The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade and other receivables and trade accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments, except for marketable securities, approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these investments. The fair value of marketable securities is presented in Note 5 to these consolidated financial statements. Assets held for severance benefits are recorded at their current cash redemption value. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels: Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date. Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date. V. Concentrations of risks (1) Credit risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade receivables and assets held for employees’ severance benefits. Cash and cash equivalents balances of the Company, which are subject to credit risk, consist of cash accounts held with major financial institutions. Marketable securities consist of held to maturity marketable securities issued by highly rated corporations. As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the ratings of the securities in the Company's portfolio was at least A and A- respectively. Nonetheless, these investments are subject to general credit and counterparty risks (such as that the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations). The Company closely monitors extensions of credit and has never experienced significant credit losses. See note 13. (2) Significant customers The Company's top three customers accounted for approximately 36% of its revenues in 2018. The Company expects that a small number of customers will continue to account for a significant portion of its revenues for the foreseeable future. See note 13. W. Liabilities for loss contingencies Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. X. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (1) In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize most of their leases on balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 utilizing the modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment at the beginning of its first quarter of 2019. The Company evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02, based on the lease portfolio as of December 31, 2018, and anticipates recording lease assets of approximately $3.4 million and lease liabilities of approximately $3.3 million on its consolidated balance sheets, with no material impact to its consolidated statements of operations. (2) In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which significantly changes the way entities recognize impairment of many financial assets by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over their remaining life. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The impact of adopting the new standard on the net income is not expected to be material. (3) In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill in Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, goodwill impairment charges will be based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value as determined in Step 1 of the testing. ASU 2017-04 is effective for interim and annual testing dates after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets, results of operations, cash flows or presentation thereof. (4) In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, which clarifies and corrects unintended application of guidance, and makes improvements to several Codification Topics. The changes are part of an ongoing FASB project to make non-substantive technical corrections, clarifications, and improvements that are not expected to have a significant effect on accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. Most of the amendments are effective immediately. Some of the amendments are effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets, results of operations, cash flows or presentation thereof.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Assets Held and Liability for Employees' Severance Benefits	Note 10 - Assets Held and Liability for Employees' Severance Benefits A. Under Israeli law and labor agreements, Silicom is required to make severance payments to retired or dismissed employees and to employees leaving employment in certain other circumstances. In respect of the liability to the employees, individual insurance policies are purchased and deposits are made with recognized severance pay funds. The liability for severance pay is calculated on the basis of the latest salary paid to each employee multiplied by the number of years of employment. The liability is covered by the amounts deposited including accumulated income thereon as well as by the unfunded provision. B. According to Section 14 to the Severance Pay Law ("Section 14") the payment of monthly deposits by a company into recognized severance and pension funds or insurance policies releases it from any additional severance obligation to the employees that have entered into agreements with the company pursuant to such Section 14. Commencing July 1, 2008, the Company has entered into agreements with a majority of its employees in order to implement Section 14. Therefore, as of that date, the payment of monthly deposits by the Company into recognized severance and pension funds or insurance policies releases it from any additional severance obligation to those employees that have entered into such agreements and therefore the Company incurs no additional liability since that date with respect to such employees. Amounts accumulated in the pension funds or insurance policies pursuant to Section 14 are not supervised or administrated by the Company and therefore neither such amounts nor the corresponding accrual are reflected in the balance sheet. C. Consequently, the assets held for employees' severance benefits reported on the balance sheet, in respect of deposits for those employees who have signed agreements pursuant to Section 14, represent the redemption value of deposits made through June 30, 2008. The liability for employee severance benefits, with respect to those employees, represents the liability of the Company for employees' severance benefits as of June 30, 2008. As a result of the implementation of Section 14, as described above, the liability with respect to those employees is calculated on the basis of number of years of employment as of June 30, 2008, multiplied by the latest salary paid. The liability is covered by the amounts deposited, including accumulated income thereon, as well as by the unfunded provision. Such liability will be removed, either upon termination of employment or retirement. D. Expenses recorded with respect to employees' severance payments for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 were US$ 761 thousand, US$ 830 thousand and US$ 605 thousand, respectively.

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]
Shareholders' Equity	Note 12 - Shareholders' Equity Share based compensation A. On October 21, 2013 the Board resolved to adopt the Global Share Incentive Plan (2013) (the "2013 Plan") and to reserve up to 500,000 ordinary shares for issuance under the 2013 Plan to employees, directors, officers and consultants of the Company or of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. In January 2018, our Board approved the increase of the number of ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan by 600,000 additional ordinary shares. Grants under the 2013 Plan, whether as options, restricted stock units, restricted stock or other equity based awards, including their terms, are subject to the Board of Directors' approval. Grants to directors and certain other officers are generally subject to the approvals of the Compensation Committee as well as Board of Directors, and grants to directors or a CEO (and under certain circumstances certain other officers) will also have to be approved by the Shareholders. B. Options or RSUs granted to Israeli residents may be granted under Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance pursuant to which the awards of options, or the ordinary shares issued upon their exercise, must be deposited with a trustee for at least two years following the date of grant. Under Section 102, any tax payable by an employee from the grant or exercise of the awards is deferred until the transfer of the awards or ordinary shares by the trustee to the employee or upon the sale of the awards or ordinary shares. Capital gains on awards granted under the plans are subjected to tax of 25% to be paid by the employee, and the Company is not entitled to a tax deduction. Gains which are not capital gains on awards under the plans are subjected to regular tax rates on individuals, and the Company is entitled to a tax deduction for such gains. C. During 2014 and 2015, the Company granted 74,000 and 8,000 RSUs respectively to certain of its directors, employees and consultants under the 2013 Plan. In relation to those grants: 1. The vesting period of the RSUs ranges between 2 to 3 years from the date of grant. 2. The fair value of RSUs is estimated based on the market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant, less an estimate of dividends that will not accrue to RSUs holders prior to vesting. 3. The Company recognizes compensation expenses on these RSUs based on estimated grant date fair value, with the following assumptions: 2014 2015 Expected dividend yield 2.06% 3.22% Termination rate 4.35% 0% D. On July 28, 2015, the Company granted, in the aggregate, 89,907 options to certain of its directors and employees under the 2013 Plan. In relation to this grant: 1.

(b) Expected average volatility represents a weighted average standard deviation rate for the price of the Company’s ordinary shares on the NASDAQ National Market. (c) Suboptimal factor represents the multiple of the increase in the market share price on the day of grant of the option which, should it come to pass, will lead to exercise of the option by the employee. It is the average suboptimal factor of the Company and similar companies. E. On June 8, 2016, the Company granted, in the aggregate, 93,660 options 1. The exercise price for the options (per ordinary share) was US$ 28.38 and the Option expiration date was the earlier to occur of: (a) June 8, 2024; and (b) the closing price of the shares falling below US$ 14.19 at any time after the date of grant.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Taxes on Income	Note 15 - Taxes on Income A. Measurement of results for tax purposes under the Israeli Income Tax Regulations (Rules for Maintaining Accounting Records of Foreign Invested Companies and Certain Partnerships and Determining Their Taxable Income) - 1986 As a "foreign invested company" (as defined in the Israeli Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments-1959), the Company's taxable income or loss is calculated in US Dollars. B. Corporate tax rate in Israel Taxable income of Israeli companies was subject to tax at the rate of 25% as from 2016 and thereafter. Furthermore, In December 2016, the regular tax rate in Israel was reduced to 23% in two steps. The first step was to a rate of 24% as from 2017 and the second step was to a rate of 23% as from 2018 and thereafter. C. Tax benefits under the Israeli Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (hereinafter - the "Law") 1. On December 29, 2010 the Knesset approved the Economic Policy Law for 2011-2012, which includes an amendment to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments – 1959 (hereinafter – "the Amendment to the Law"). The Amendment to the Law is effective from January 1, 2011 and its provisions will apply to preferred income derived or accrued in 2011 and thereafter by a Preferred Company, per the definition of these terms in the Amendment to the Law. Companies can choose to not be included in the scope of the Amendment to the Law and to stay in the scope of the law before its amendment until the end of the benefits period. Under the Amendment to the Law, which the Company started applying in 2014, upon an irrevocable election made by a company, a uniform corporate tax rate will apply to all preferred income of such company. Under the law, when the election is made, the uniform tax rate (for 2014 and on) will be 9% in areas in Israel designated as Development Zone A and 16% elsewhere in Israel. The profits of these Preferred Companies will be freely distributable as dividends, subject to a withholding tax of 20% (or a lower rate under an applicable tax treaty). In December 2016, under the Amendment to the Law, the uniform tax rate in areas in Israel designated as Development Zone A was reduced to 7.5% as from 2017 and thereafter. The company has two facilities in Israel of which one of them is located in Development Zone A. Should the Company derive income from sources other than the Preferred company, such income will be taxable at the regular corporate tax rates for the applicable year. 2. In the event of distribution by the Company of dividends out of its retained earnings that were generated prior to 2014 tax year and were tax exempt under the "Approved Enterprise" or "Benefited Enterprise" status, the Company would be subjected to a maximum of 25% corporate tax on the amount distributed, and a further 15% withholding tax would be deducted from the amounts distributed to the shareholders. Out of the Company’s retained earnings as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, approximately US$ 50,356 thousand and US$ 46,581 thousand respectively are tax-exempt, under the previous "Approved Enterprise" and "Benefited Enterprise" status. If such tax-exempt income is distributed as a dividend (including a liquidation dividend), it would be taxed at the reduced corporate tax rate applicable to such profits (up to 25%) and an income tax liability of up to approximately US$ 12,589 thousand and US$ 11,645 thousand would be incurred as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. The Company anticipates that any future dividends distributed pursuant to its dividend policy, will be distributed from income sources which will not impose additional tax liabilities on the Company. The Company intends to reinvest the amount of its tax-exempt income. Accordingly, no deferred income taxes have been provided on income attributable to the Company’s "Approved Enterprise" or "Benefited Enterprise". If the Company was to declare a dividend from its tax-exempt income, an income tax expense would be recognized in the period a dividend is declared. D. Taxation of the subsidiaries 1. The subsidiary Silicom Inc. files tax returns to US federal tax authorities and to state tax authorities in the states of New Jersey, California, Virginia, New York, New Mexico, Tennessee and Texas. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts was enacted into law. The new legislation impacted the company by reduction of the Federal 2. The subsidiary Silicom Denmark is taxed according to the tax laws in Denmark. 3. The Company has not provided for Israeli income and foreign withholding taxes on US$ 6,701 thousand of its non-Israeli subsidiaries' undistributed earnings as of December 31, 2018. The earnings could become subject to tax if earnings are remitted or deemed remitted as dividends or upon sale of a subsidiary. The Company currently has no plans to repatriate those funds and intends to indefinitely reinvest them in its non-Israeli operations. The unrecognized deferred tax liability associated with these temporary differences was approximately US$ 838 thousand at December 31, 2018. 4. As of December 31, 2018, the net operating loss carry-forwards of the Companys’ E. Tax assessments 1. For the Israeli jurisdiction the Company has final tax assessments for all years up to and including the tax year ended December 31, 2013. 2. For the US Federal jurisdiction, Silicom Inc. has final tax assessments for all years up to and including the tax year ended December 31, 2014. For the New Jersey and California state jurisdictions, Silicom Inc. has final tax assessments for all years up to and including the tax year ended December 31, 2013. For the Virginia state jurisdiction, Silicom Inc. has open tax assessments for the years 2015 through 2018. For the Tennessee state jurisdiction, Silicom Inc. has open tax assessments for the years 2016 through 2018. For the New Mexico and New York state jurisdictions, Silicom Inc. has open tax assessments for the years 2017 and 2018. For the Texas state jurisdiction, Silicom Inc. has open tax assessments for the year 2018. 3. For the Danish jurisdiction, Silicom Denmark has final tax assessments for all years up to and including the tax year ended August 31, 2014. F.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes The accounting literature clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The standards prescribe a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also requires significant judgment in determining what constitutes an individual tax position as well as assessing the outcome of each tax position. During 2016, 2017 and 2018 the Company and its subsidiaries did not have any significant unrecognized tax benefits and thus, no related interest and penalties were accrued. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries do not expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next twelve months.

Summary of Significant Accoun_2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2018
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Financial Statements in US Dollars	A. Financial statements in US dollars Substantially all sales of the Company are made outside of Israel (see Note 13A Transactions and monetary balances in other currencies are translated into the functional currency using the current exchange rate. All exchange gains and losses from remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies are reflected in earnings when they arise.
Basis of Presentation	B. Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Estimates and Assumptions	C. Estimates and assumptions The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include income taxes, inventories, marketable securities, goodwill, intangible assets and share-based compensation.
Business combinations	D. Business combinations The Company accounts for business combination in accordance with ASC No. 805, "Business Combinations". ASC No. 805 requires recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. Any excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over purchase price and any subsequent changes in estimated contingencies are to be recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.
Cash and cash equivalents	E. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of deposit to be cash equivalents.
Marketable securities	F. Marketable securities The Company classifies its marketable securities as held-to-maturity as they are debt securities in which the Company has the intent and ability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity (HTM) debt securities are recorded at amortized cost adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. Such amortization and accretion are included in the "Financial income, net" line item in the consolidated statements of operations. When other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, the amount of the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings depends on whether the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. A decline in the market value of HTM security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in an impairment to reduce the carrying amount to fair value. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers all available information relevant to the collectibility of the security, including past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts when developing estimate of cash flows expected to be collected. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year end, forecasted performance of the investee, and the general market condition in the geographic area or industry the investee operates in. If the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the other-than-temporary impairment is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings.
Trade accounts receivable, net	G. Trade accounts receivable, net Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and its customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the provision for doubtful accounts receivable amounted to US$ 20 thousand.
Inventories	H. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the "weighted average-cost" method. The Company writes down obsolete or slow moving inventory to its net realizable value.
Assets held for employees' severance benefits	I. Assets held for employees’ severance benefits Assets held for employees’ severance benefits represent contributions to severance pay funds and cash surrender value of insurance policies. The assets are recorded at their current cash redemption value.
Property, plant and equipment	J. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets at the following annual rates: % Machinery and equipment 15 - 33 Office furniture and equipment 6 - 33 Leasehold improvements * *
Goodwill and other intangible assets	K. Goodwill and other intangible assets Goodwill reflects the excess of the purchase price of business acquired over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Company operates in one operating segment and this segment comprises one reporting unit. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually in accordance with ASC 350, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASC 350 provides an entity the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount prior to performing the two-step goodwill impairment test. If this is the case, the two-step goodwill impairment test is required. If it is more likely than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. If the two-step goodwill impairment test is required, first, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the entity must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation and the residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, step two does not need to be performed. During the year ended December 31, 2018, no impairments were found and therefore no impairment losses were recorded. Intangible assets that are not considered to have an indefinite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 3 years. The acquired customer relationships and current technology are amortized over their estimated useful lives in proportion to the economic benefits realized. This accounting policy results in amortization of such intangible assets in the straight-line method.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	L. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets In accordance with Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of FASB ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment - Overall long-lived assets, such as property, plant, equipment and purchased intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or an asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
Revenue recognition	M. Revenue recognition In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a new accounting standard related to revenue recognition. ASC 606 supersedes nearly all U.S. GAAP on revenue recognition and eliminated industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue when a customer obtains control of the promised goods at an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received in exchange for those goods. It also requires increased disclosures including the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows related to contracts with customers. The Company adopted ASC 606 at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2018, and implemented new accounting policies and internal controls necessary to support the requirements of ASC 606. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have any impact on the Company's revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of the promised goods in a contract with a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. Transfer of control occurs once the customer has the contractual right to use the product, generally upon shipment or once delivery and risk of loss has transferred to the customer. The Company accounts for a contract with customer when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties and payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company identifies separated contractual performance obligations and evaluates each distinct performance obligation within a contract, whether it is satisfied at a point in time or over time. All of the Company's performance obligations for the reported periods were satisfied at a point in time. Revenue is allocated among performance obligations in a manner that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to for the promised goods based on standalone selling prices (SSP). SSP are estimated for each distinct performance obligation and judgment may be required in their determination. The best evidence of SSP is the observable price of the product when the Company sell the goods separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers. Until January 1, 2018, revenues from sales of products were recognized upon delivery provided that the collection of the resulting receivable was reasonably assured, there was persuasive evidence of an arrangement, no significant obligations remained and the price was fixed or determinable. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, are excluded from revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.
Research and development costs	N. Research and development costs Capitalization of software development costs related to programmable components incorporated into the Company's products, are charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, all software costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Judgment is required in determining when technological feasibility of a product is established. The company has determined that technological feasibility for its software components of hardware products is reached after all high-risk development issues have been resolved through coding and testing. Amortization begins once the software is ready for its intended use, generally based on the pattern in which the economic benefits will be consumed. The amortization of these costs is included in cost of revenue over the estimated life of the products. The Company started to capitalize internal software development costs during 2018. The Company did not capitalize any internal software development costs for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, because the cost incurred and the time between technological feasibility and product release was insignificant. Other costs incurred in the research and development of the Company’s products are expensed as incurred.
Allowance for product warranty	O. Allowance for product warranty The Company grants service warranties related to certain products to end-users. The Company estimates its obligation for such warranties to be immaterial on the basis of historical experience. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include an accrual for warranty obligations.
Treasury shares	P. Treasury shares Treasury shares are recorded at cost and presented as a reduction of shareholders' equity.
Income taxes	Q. Income taxes Deferred taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current assets and liabilities and measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.
Share-based compensation	R. Share-based compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation -Stock Compensation as follows: When portions of an award vest in increments during the requisite service period (graded-vesting award), the Company’s accounting policy is to recognize compensation cost for the award over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.
Basic and diluted earnings per share	S. Basic and diluted earnings per share Basic income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted income per ordinary share calculation is similar to basic income per ordinary share except that the weighted average of common shares outstanding is increased to include outstanding potential common shares during the period if dilutive. Potential common shares arise from stock options and RSUs, and the dilutive effect is reflected by the application of the treasury stock method. The following table summarizes information related to the computation of basic and diluted income per ordinary share for the years indicated. Year ended December 31 2016 2017 2018 Net income attributable to ordinary shares (US$ thousands) 13,137 21,714 14,637 Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding used in basic income per ordinary share calculation 7,343,696 7,455,528 7,552,094 Add assumed exercise of outstanding dilutive potential ordinary shares 91,485 146,443 105,236 Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding used in diluted income per ordinary share calculation 7,435,181 7,601,971 7,657,330 Basic income per ordinary shares (US$) 1.789 2.912 1.938 Diluted income per ordinary shares (US$) 1.767 2.856 1.912 The weighted average number of shares related to options and RSUs excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because of anti-dilutive effect 9,633 - 171,086
Comprehensive Income	T. Comprehensive Income For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, comprehensive income equals net income.
Fair Value Measurements	U. Fair Value Measurements The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade and other receivables and trade accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments, except for marketable securities, approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these investments. The fair value of marketable securities is presented in Note 5 to these consolidated financial statements. Assets held for severance benefits are recorded at their current cash redemption value. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels: Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date. Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.
Concentrations of risks	V. Concentrations of risks (1) Credit risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade receivables and assets held for employees’ severance benefits. Cash and cash equivalents balances of the Company, which are subject to credit risk, consist of cash accounts held with major financial institutions. Marketable securities consist of held to maturity marketable securities issued by highly rated corporations. As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the ratings of the securities in the Company's portfolio was at least A and A- respectively. Nonetheless, these investments are subject to general credit and counterparty risks (such as that the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations). The Company closely monitors extensions of credit and has never experienced significant credit losses. See note 13. (2) Significant customers The Company's top three customers accounted for approximately 36% of its revenues in 2018. The Company expects that a small number of customers will continue to account for a significant portion of its revenues for the foreseeable future. See note 13.
Liabilities for loss contingencies	W. Liabilities for loss contingencies Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	X. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (1) In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize most of their leases on balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 utilizing the modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment at the beginning of its first quarter of 2019. The Company evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02, based on the lease portfolio as of December 31, 2018, and anticipates recording lease assets of approximately $3.4 million and lease liabilities of approximately $3.3 million on its consolidated balance sheets, with no material impact to its consolidated statements of operations. (2) In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which significantly changes the way entities recognize impairment of many financial assets by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over their remaining life. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The impact of adopting the new standard on the net income is not expected to be material. (3) In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill in Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, goodwill impairment charges will be based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value as determined in Step 1 of the testing. ASU 2017-04 is effective for interim and annual testing dates after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets, results of operations, cash flows or presentation thereof. (4) In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, which clarifies and corrects unintended application of guidance, and makes improvements to several Codification Topics. The changes are part of an ongoing FASB project to make non-substantive technical corrections, clarifications, and improvements that are not expected to have a significant effect on accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. Most of the amendments are effective immediately. Some of the amendments are effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets, results of operations, cash flows or presentation thereof.
