Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Presentation

ANADIGICS, Inc. (the Company) is a global leader in the design and manufacture of radio frequency semiconductor solutions for Infrastructure and Mobile applications. Infrastructure is comprised of products for the following applications:  CATV, small cell, WiFi, M2M, optical and other general RF applications.  Mobile is comprised of WiFi and Cellular products that primarily address the smartphone, handset and tablet markets.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month period ended July 4, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.

The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has historically operated at a loss and has not consistently generated sufficient cash flows from operations to cover its operating expenses. In mid-2014, the Company implemented a strategic restructuring plan (Note 2) that the Company believed would place increased emphasis on infrastructure markets, lower operating costs and position the business for improved operating results. By the three months ended April 4, 2015, the Company’s infrastructure revenue improved, costs were lowered and operating losses were reduced in keeping with the strategic restructuring plan. However, subsequent to that date, unexpected declines in revenues resulted in an increase in operating losses. Therefore, the delayed improvement in infrastructure revenue is forecast to result in operating losses into 2016, larger than those foreseen under the strategic restructuring plan. Additionally, in future periods it is possible that the Company will not maintain compliance with certain covenants under its revolving credit facility (Note 9) which could result in outstanding borrowings being immediately due and payable and the termination of the revolving credit facility. The combination of these factors raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in 2016. Management’s plans to overcome these difficulties include financing all or part of its operations through additional equity or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on satisfactory terms or at all. The Company also expects to continue to aggressively pursue available sales opportunities, work with distributors and end users to grow future sales, and continue to control costs. The ability to continue as a going concern in 2016 is dependent upon increasing infrastructure revenue, continuing to control costs and obtaining the necessary financing to meet obligations and repay liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and determined that there were no subsequent events to recognize or disclose in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08,

Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of an Entity

, which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies the related disclosure requirements. The ASU became effective January 1, 2015. Adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12,

Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period

. The guidance states that a performance target in a share-based payment that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be accounted for as a performance condition. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

, which will replace most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. It also requires additional disclosures about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The ASU permits the initial application to be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment made at the date of initial application. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one year deferral of the effective date of this standard to December 15, 2017 and early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating the transition methods and the impact of the amended guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

INCOME TAXES

The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a benefit or provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes in income tax expense. No unrecognized tax benefits, interest or penalties were accrued at July 4, 2015. The Company’s U.S. federal net operating losses have occurred since 1998 and as such, tax years subject to potential tax examination could apply from that date because carrying-back net operating loss opens the relevant year to audit.

Standard Product Warranty, Policy [Policy Text Block]

WARRANTY

Based on the examination of historical returns and other information it deems critical, the Company estimates that a current charge to income will need to be provided in order to cover future warranty obligations for products sold during the year. The accrued liability for warranty costs is included in Accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the Company’s product warranty reserve are as follows:

	Six months ended
	July 4, 2015			June 28, 2014
Beginning balance	$	237		$	383
Additions charged to Cost of sales		19			133
Claims processed		(120	)		(315	)
Ending balance	$	136		$	201
