Basis of Presentation	3 Months Ended
Dec. 25, 2011
Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation	Note 1 - Basis of Presentation      Financial Statement Preparation. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by QUALCOMM Incorporated (collectively with its subsidiaries, the Company or Qualcomm) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 25, 2011. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year. The Company operates and reports using a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in September. The three-month periods ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010 both included 13 weeks.     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect the presentation of the FLO TV business as discontinued operations (Note 8).            Earnings Per Common Share. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Qualcomm by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Qualcomm by the combination of dilutive common share equivalents, comprised of shares issuable under the Company’s share-based compensation plans and shares subject to written put options, and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Dilutive common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of in-the-money share equivalents, which are calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the exercise price of an award, if any, the amount of compensation cost, if any, for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the estimated tax benefits that would be recorded in paid-in capital, if any, when an award is settled are assumed to be used to repurchase shares in the current period. The incremental dilutive common share equivalents, calculated using the treasury stock method, for the three months ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010 were 37,052,000 and 25,507,000, respectively.      Employee stock options to purchase approximately 4,471,000 and 60,792,000 shares of common stock during the three months ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Put options outstanding during the three months ended December 25, 2011 to purchase 11,800,000 shares of common stock were not included in the earnings per common share computation because the put options’ exercise prices were less than the average market price of the common stock while they were outstanding, and therefore, the effect on diluted earnings per common share would be anti-dilutive (Note 5). In addition, 675,000 and 467,000 shares of other common stock equivalents outstanding during the three months ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because either the effect would be anti-dilutive or certain performance conditions were not satisfied at the end of the period. Comprehensive Income. Total comprehensive income attributable to Qualcomm consisted of the following (in millions):   Three Months Ended   December 25, 2011   December 26, 2010 Net income $ 1,395   $ 1,170 Other comprehensive income:       Foreign currency translation (27 )   5 Noncredit other-than-temporary impairment losses and subsequent changes in fair value related to certain available-for-sale debt securities, net of income taxes 1   (4 ) Net unrealized gains on other available-for-sale securities and derivative instruments, net of income taxes 175   131 Reclassification of net realized gains on available-for-sale securities and derivative instruments included in net income, net of income taxes (18 )   (76 ) Reclassification of other-than-temporary losses on available-for-sale securities included in net income, net of income taxes 9   4 Total other comprehensive income 140   60 Total comprehensive income 1,535   1,230 Comprehensive loss attributable to noncontrolling interests 8   — Comprehensive income attributable to Qualcomm $ 1,543   $ 1,230 Components of accumulated other comprehensive income in Qualcomm stockholders’ equity consisted of the following (in millions):   December 25, 2011   September 25, 2011 Noncredit other-than-temporary impairment losses and subsequent changes in fair value related to certain available-for-sale debt securities, net of income taxes $ 29   $ 27 Net unrealized gains on other available-for-sale securities, net of income taxes 581   427 Net unrealized losses on derivative instruments, net of income taxes (4 )   (15 ) Foreign currency translation (111 )   (86 )   $ 495   $ 353 At December 25, 2011 and September 25, 2011, accumulated other comprehensive income included $12 million and $13 million, respectively, of other-than-temporary losses on certain available-for-sale debt securities related to factors other than credit, net of income taxes.      Share-Based Compensation. Total estimated share-based compensation expense, related to all of the Company’s share-based awards, was comprised as follows (in millions):   Three Months Ended   December 25, 2011   December 26, 2010* Cost of equipment and services revenues $ 20   $ 14 Research and development 126   85 Selling, general and administrative 101   70 Continuing operations 247   169 Related income tax benefit (53 )   (55 ) Continuing operations, net of income taxes 194   114 Discontinued operations —   3 Related income tax benefit —   (1 ) Discontinued operations, net of income taxes —   2   $ 194   $ 116 *As adjusted for discontinued operations (Note 8) The Company recorded $33 million and $13 million in share-based compensation expense during the three months ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010, respectively, related to share-based awards granted during those periods. In addition, for the three months ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010, $23 million and $45 million, respectively, were reclassified to reduce net cash provided by operating activities with an offsetting increase in net cash provided by financing activities to reflect the incremental tax benefit from stock options exercised in those periods. At December 25, 2011, total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options and restricted stock units granted prior to that date were $537 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years and 2.3 years, respectively. Net share-based awards, after forfeitures and cancellations, granted during the three months ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010 represented 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively, of outstanding shares as of the beginning of each fiscal period. Total share-based awards granted during the three months ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010 each represented 0.5% of outstanding shares as of the end of each fiscal period.

Income Taxes	3 Months Ended
Dec. 25, 2011
Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
Note 4 - Income Taxes	Note 4 — Income Taxes The Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate for continuing operations to be approximately 18% for fiscal 2012, compared to the 20% effective income tax rate for fiscal 2011. The United States federal research and development tax credit expired on December 31, 2011. Therefore, the annual effective rate for fiscal 2012 only reflects the federal research and development credit generated through December 31, 2011. The annual effective rate for fiscal 2012 also reflects a lower state rate as a result of California tax legislation enacted in 2009. The estimated annual effective tax rate for continuing operations for fiscal 2012 of 18% is less than the United States federal statutory rate primarily due to benefits of approximately 17% related to foreign earnings taxed at less than the United States federal rate. The prior fiscal year rate was lower than the United States federal statutory rate primarily due to benefits related to foreign earnings taxed at less than the United States federal rate, partially offset by state taxes and tax expense related to the valuation of deferred tax assets to reflect changes in California law.

During the three months ended December 25, 2011, the Company repurchased and retired 2,046,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for $99 million, before commissions. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended December 26, 2010. At December 25, 2011, approximately $948 million remained authorized for repurchase under the Company’s stock repurchase program, net of put options outstanding. In connection with the Company’s stock repurchase program, the Company sold three put options on its own stock during fiscal 2011. At December 25, 2011, the Company had three outstanding put options enabling holders to sell 11,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company for approximately $511 million (net of the $75 million in put option premiums received). The put option liability of $35 million at December 25, 2011 was recorded in other current liabilities. During the three months ended December 25, 2011, the Company recognized gains of $45 million in net investment income due to a decrease in the fair value of the put options. No put options were outstanding during the three months ended December 26, 2010. Dividends. Cash dividends announced in the three months ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010 were $0.215 and $0.190 per share, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies	3 Months Ended
Dec. 25, 2011
Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies	Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings. Tessera, Inc. v. QUALCOMM Incorporated: On April 17, 2007, Tessera filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas and a complaint with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) pursuant to Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 against the Company and other companies, alleging infringement of two patents. The district court action is stayed pending resolution of the ITC proceeding, including all appeals. On May 20, 2009, the ITC issued a limited exclusion order and a cease and desist order, both of which were terminated when the patents expired on September 24, 2010. During the period of the exclusion order, the Company shifted supply of accused chips for customers who manufacture products that may be imported to the United States to a licensed supplier of Tessera, and the Company continued to supply those customers without interruption. The appeals court affirmed the ITC’s orders, and on November 28, 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the Company’s petition for review. On January 18, 2012, pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, the district court in the Eastern District of Texas lifted the stay and ordered the case be moved to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Once the stay is lifted, Tessera may continue to seek back damages in the district court, but it may not seek injunctive relief due to the expiration of the patents. MicroUnity Systems Engineering, Inc. v. QUALCOMM Incorporated, et al.: MicroUnity filed a total of three patent infringement complaints, on March 16, 2010, June 3, 2010 and January 27, 2011, against the Company and a number of other technology companies, including Texas Instruments, Samsung, Apple, Nokia, Google and HTC, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The complaints against the Company alleged infringement of a total of 15 patents, appear to accuse the Company’s Snapdragon products and seek unspecified damages and other relief. The court consolidated the actions in May 2011. On September 30, 2011, the court denied the Company’s motion to sever its case from the other defendants and to transfer the case to the Northern District of California. On January 6, 2012, MicroUnity filed a notice that it will no longer assert two of the patents against the Company and reduce the number of claims in the 13 remaining asserted patents. Trial is scheduled for June 3, 2013. Broadcom Corporation et al. v. Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO): On November 10, 2009, Broadcom and Atheros (which was acquired by the Company in May 2011) filed a complaint for declaratory judgment against CSIRO in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, requesting the court to declare, among other things, that United States patent number 5,487,069 (the ’069 Patent) assigned to CSIRO is invalid and unenforceable and that Atheros does not infringe any valid claims of the ’069 Patent. On October 14, 2010, CSIRO filed a complaint against Atheros and Broadcom (amended and consolidated with complaints against other third parties on April 6, 2011) alleging infringement of the ’069 Patent by Atheros’ 802.11/a/g/n products. A claim construction hearing was held on October 4, 2011, and trial is scheduled for April 9, 2012. MOSAID Technologies Incorporated v. Dell, Inc. et al.: On March 16, 2011, MOSAID filed a complaint against Atheros and 32 other entities in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging that certain of Atheros’ WiFi products infringe United States patent numbers 5,131,006, 5,151,920, 5,422,887, 5,706,428, 6,563,786 and 6,992,972. MOSAID seeks unspecified damages and other relief. The case is early in the discovery phase. Trial is scheduled for August 4, 2014. India BWA Spectrum: In connection with the BWA spectrum won in India in June 2010, the Company recorded a payment in noncurrent other assets, which was $928 million and $994 million at December 25, 2011 and September 25, 2011, respectively. In addition, the Company created four wholly-owned subsidiaries. On August 9, 2010, each subsidiary filed an application to obtain a license to operate a wireless network on this spectrum for one of the respective regions. Thereafter, two Indian companies each acquired 13% of each subsidiary. On September 21, 2011, the Company received a letter dated September 7, 2011 from the Government of India’s Department of Telecommunications (DoT) (the DoT Letter) notifying the Company that its applications had been rejected based on its conclusion that the applications were filed after the deadline and that the Company was restricted to filing one application rather than four. On September 27, 2011, the Company filed a petition with the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) seeking to overturn the DoT Letter. On September 28, 2011, the TDSAT issued an order granting the Company interim relief, pending a final determination of the case, directing the DoT to (i) not issue the spectrum that has been earmarked to the Company to anyone else and (ii) not forfeit or appropriate the payment that the Company made for the spectrum. On October 10, 2011, one of the Company’s subsidiaries received a letter from the DoT offering to issue it a license that would cover all of India, including the four regions for which the Company won spectrum at the June 2010 auction, assuming that the subsidiary met certain requirements by November 9, 2011. On October 18, 2011, the subsidiary submitted to the DoT a letter accepting the DoT’s offer, requesting issuance of a license as soon as possible after the requirements were met, and stating that upon issuance of the license, the Company’s three other subsidiaries would merge into the subsidiary that had been granted a license. On October 19, 2011, the DoT filed a reply to the Company’s September 27, 2011 petition with the TDSAT. In its reply, the DoT stated that upon issuance of a license, the Company’s subsidiary could apply for assignment of the spectrum, and at that time, the DoT would decide whether to grant the requested assignment and whether the Company’s applications for licenses were timely filed in accordance with its rules. On October 20, 2011, the TDSAT conducted a second hearing on the Company’s case. At the conclusion of the hearing, the TDSAT ordered the DoT to clarify the aforementioned statements in its October 19, 2011 reply in light of its October 10, 2011 offer. On November 2, 2011, the subsidiary made a filing with the DoT to meet the four requirements of the DoT Letter, which included certification by the Company’s subsidiary that no dues were payable to the DoT by either the subsidiary or its shareholders. The TDSAT conducted a hearing on November 8, 2011 and ordered that the subsidiary and the DoT meet to expedite the licensing process. The Company met with the DoT on November 14, 2011 and thereafter provided additional documentation to the DoT. At a December 2, 2011 hearing before the TDSAT, the DoT stated that it had served a provisional assessment on one of the subsidiary’s Indian partners in the amount of approximately $28 million (based on the applicable foreign currency exchange rate on December 25, 2011) in unpaid dues, including interest and penalties. The TDSAT conducted hearings on this matter on December 9, 2011, January 2, 2012 and January 31, 2012. The next hearing is scheduled for February 6, 2012. On January 22, 2012, the Company filed an application requesting that the TDSAT order the DoT to issue the license pursuant to the DoT's October 10, 2011 letter. In the application, the Company argued that the provisional assessment was not a legal basis for the DoT to delay issuing the license. The Company also offered to have its subsidiary execute an undertaking that would take effect upon issuance of the license. In the undertaking, the Company’s subsidiary would agree that if the Indian partner did not pay an amount ultimately found to be due (up to the amount of the assessment), the subsidiary would pay such amount. In addition, the Company offered to have the subsidiary provide a bank guarantee to cover the amount found to be payable if the DoT has any concern about the creditworthiness of the subsidiary. The DOT has been ordered to file a response to the Company’s application on February 3, 2012. If the Company does not ultimately prevail in this matter, the Company’s subsidiary may not receive a license or an assignment of the spectrum that the Company won in the auction; and in either of those events, the Company’s payment for the spectrum may not be returned. Icera Complaint to the European Commission: On June 7, 2010, the European Commission (the Commission) notified and provided the Company with a redacted copy of a complaint filed with the Commission by Icera, Inc. alleging that the Company has engaged in anticompetitive activity. The Company has been asked by the Commission to submit a preliminary response to the portions of the complaint disclosed to it, and the Company submitted its response in July 2010. On October 19, 2011, the Commission notified the Company that it should provide to the Commission additional documents and information. The Company continues to cooperate fully with the Commission’s preliminary investigation. Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) Complaint: On January 4, 2010, the KFTC issued a written decision, finding that the Company had violated South Korean law by offering certain discounts and rebates for purchases of its CDMA chips and for including in certain agreements language requiring the continued payment of royalties after all licensed patents have expired. The KFTC levied a fine, which the Company paid in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company is appealing that decision in the Korean courts. Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) Complaint: The JFTC received unspecified complaints alleging that the Company’s business practices are, in some way, a violation of Japanese law. On September 29, 2009, the JFTC issued a cease and desist order concluding that the Company’s Japanese licensees were forced to cross-license patents to the Company on a royalty-free basis and were forced to accept a provision under which they agreed not to assert their essential patents against the Company’s other licensees who made a similar commitment in their license agreements with the Company. The cease and desist order seeks to require the Company to modify its existing license agreements with Japanese companies to eliminate these provisions while preserving the license of the Company’s patents to those companies. The Company disagrees with the conclusions that it forced its Japanese licensees to agree to any provision in the parties’ agreements and that those provisions violate the Japanese Antimonopoly Act. The Company has invoked its right under Japanese law to an administrative hearing before the JFTC. In February 2010, the Tokyo High Court granted the Company’s motion and issued a stay of the cease and desist order pending the administrative hearing before the JFTC. The JFTC has held hearings on eleven different dates, with an additional hearing day scheduled on February 17, 2012 and additional hearing days yet to be scheduled. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Formal Order of Private Investigation and Department of Justice (DOJ) Investigation: On September 8, 2010, the Company was notified by the SEC’s Los Angeles Regional office of a formal order of private investigation. The Company understands that the investigation arose from a “whistleblower’s” allegations made in December 2009 to the audit committee of the Company’s  Board of Directors and to the SEC. The audit committee completed an internal review of the allegations with the assistance of independent counsel and independent forensic accountants. This internal review into the whistleblower’s allegations and related accounting practices did not identify any errors in the Company's financial statements. On January 27, 2012, the Company learned that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California/DOJ has begun a preliminary investigation regarding the Company’s compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), a topic about which the SEC is also inquiring. The Company believes that it is in compliance with the requirements of the FCPA and will continue to cooperate with both agencies. Other: The Company has been named, along with many other manufacturers of wireless phones, wireless operators and industry-related organizations, as a defendant in three lawsuits pending in Washington D.C. superior court, seeking monetary damages arising out of its sale of cellular phones. While there can be no assurance of favorable outcomes, the Company believes the claims made by other parties in the foregoing matters are without merit and will vigorously defend the actions. The Company has not recorded any accrual at December 25, 2011 for contingent liabilities or recognized any asset impairment charges associated with the legal proceedings described above based on the Company’s belief that liabilities, while possible, are not probable. Further, any possible range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company is engaged in numerous other legal actions not described above arising in the ordinary course of its business and, while there can be no assurance, believes that the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its operating results, liquidity or financial position. Litigation Settlement, Patent License and Other Related Items. On April 26, 2009, the Company entered into a Settlement and Patent License and Non-Assert Agreement with Broadcom. The Company agreed to pay Broadcom $891 million, of which $632 million was paid through December 25, 2011, and the remainder will be paid ratably through April 2013. At December 25, 2011, the carrying value of the liability was $253 million, which also approximated the fair value of the contractual liability net of imputed interest. Loans Payable Related to India BWA Spectrum. In connection with the India BWA spectrum won in India in June 2010, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries in India entered into loan agreements with multiple lenders that are denominated in Indian rupees. The loans bear interest at an annual rate based on the highest rate among the bank lenders, which is reset quarterly, plus 0.25% (10.25% at December 25, 2011) with interest payments due monthly. The loans can be prepaid without penalty on certain dates and are guaranteed by QUALCOMM Incorporated and one of its subsidiaries. In December 2011, the lender that could demand prepayment of its portion of the loans exercised its right requiring the Company to prepay the amount outstanding on February 28, 2012 ($142 million at December 25, 2011). The Company intends to refinance this amount with new loans. The remaining loans ($786 million at December 25, 2011) are due and payable in full in December 2012. The loan agreements also define certain events of default, including, among other things, if certain government authorizations are revoked, terminated, withdrawn, suspended, modified or withheld. If the DoT’s rejection of the Company’s license applications were to be considered an event of default, the bank lenders could have declared the loans due and payable immediately. The Company has received waivers from each of the bank lenders related to this matter until at least April 1, 2012, which are conditioned upon the Company continuing to pursue its legal rights in this matter. The lenders have agreed that any default will be deemed cured under certain circumstances, including if one of the relevant subsidiaries is granted the license and the other three are pursuing a merger into the subsidiary that has been offered a license. The loan agreements contain standard covenants, which, among other things, limit actions by the subsidiaries that are party to the loan agreements, including the incurrence of loans and equity investments, disposition of assets, mergers and consolidations and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. At December 25, 2011, the aggregate carrying value of the loans was $928 million, which approximated fair value. Indemnifications. With the exception of the practices of Atheros, the Company generally does not indemnify its customers and licensees for losses sustained from infringement of third-party intellectual property rights. However, the Company is contingently liable under certain product sales, services, license and other agreements to indemnify certain customers against certain types of liability and/or damages arising from qualifying claims of patent infringement by products or services sold or provided by the Company. The Company’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount, and in some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by the Company. Under Atheros’ indemnification agreements, software license agreements and product sale agreements, including its standard software license agreements and standard terms and conditions of semiconductor sales, Atheros agrees, subject to restrictions and after certain conditions are met, to indemnify and defend its licensees and customers against third-party claims asserting infringement of certain intellectual property rights, which may include patents, copyrights, trademarks or trade secrets, and to pay any judgments entered on such claims against the licensees or customers. Through December 25, 2011, Atheros has received a number of claims from its direct and indirect customers and other third parties for indemnification under such agreements with respect to alleged infringement of third-party intellectual property rights by Atheros’ products. These indemnification arrangements are not initially measured and recognized at fair value because they are deemed to be similar to product warranties in that they relate to claims and/or other actions that could impair the ability of the Company’s direct or indirect customers to use the Company’s products or services. Accordingly, the Company records liabilities resulting from the arrangements when they are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Reimbursements under indemnification arrangements have not been material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company has not recorded any accrual for contingent liabilities at December 25, 2011 associated with these indemnification arrangements, other than negligible amounts for reimbursement of legal costs, based on the Company’s belief that additional liabilities, while possible, are not probable. Further, any possible range of loss cannot be estimated at this time. Purchase Obligations. The Company has agreements with suppliers and other parties to purchase inventory, other goods and services and long-lived assets. Noncancelable obligations under these agreements at December 25, 2011 for the remainder of fiscal 2012 and for each of the subsequent four years from fiscal 2013 through 2016 were approximately $2.1 billion, $75 million, $39 million, $36 million and $25 million, respectively, and $8 million thereafter. Of these amounts, for the remainder of fiscal 2012 and for fiscal 2013, commitments to purchase integrated circuit product inventories comprised $1.7 billion and $3 million, respectively. Leases. The future minimum lease payments for all capital leases and operating leases at December 25, 2011 were as follows (in millions):   Capital Leases   Operating Leases   Total Remainder of fiscal 2012 $ 8   $ 100   $ 108 2013 11   112   123 2014 11   92   103 2015 11   43   54 2016 12   28   40 Thereafter 293   164   457 Total minimum lease payments $ 346   $ 539   $ 885 Deduct: Amounts representing interest 196         Present value of minimum lease payments 150         Deduct: Current portion of capital lease obligations 1         Long-term portion of capital lease obligations $ 149         The Company leases certain of its land, facilities and equipment under noncancelable operating leases, with terms ranging from less than one year to 35 years and with provisions in certain leases for cost-of-living increases. The Company leases certain property under capital lease agreements associated with its discontinued operations (Note 8), primarily related to site leases that have an initial term of five to seven years with renewal options of up to five additional renewal periods. In determining the capital lease classification for the site leases upon commencement of each lease, the Company included all renewal options. As a result of its restructuring plan, the Company does not intend to renew its existing site capital leases. At December 25, 2011, the Company had $130 million of site capital lease assets (which are included in buildings and improvements in property, plant and equipment) and $149 million of capital lease obligations (which are included in other liabilities) that pertain to lease optional renewal periods. The Company expects to write off these amounts at the end of the current contractual lease terms. Any early terminations may impact the amounts that are written off.

Segment Information	3 Months Ended
Dec. 25, 2011
Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
Note 7 - Segment Information	Note 7 — Segment Information The Company is organized on the basis of products and services. The Company aggregates four of its divisions into the Qualcomm Wireless & Internet (QWI) segment and three of its divisions into the Qualcomm Strategic Initiatives (QSI) segment. Reportable segments are as follows: • Qualcomm CDMA Technologies (QCT) — develops and supplies integrated circuits and system software based on CDMA, OFDMA and other technologies for use in voice and data communications, networking, application processing, multimedia and global positioning system products; • Qualcomm Technology Licensing (QTL) — grants licenses or otherwise provides rights to use portions of the Company’s intellectual property portfolio, which, among other rights, includes certain patent rights essential to and/or useful in the manufacture and sale of certain wireless products, including, without limitation, products implementing cdmaOne, CDMA2000, WCDMA, CDMA TDD (including TD-SCDMA), GSM/GPRS/EDGE and/or OFDMA standards, and collects fixed license fees and royalties in partial consideration for such licenses; • Qualcomm Wireless & Internet (QWI) — comprised of: • Qualcomm Internet Services (QIS) — provides content enablement services for the wireless industry and push-to-talk and other products and services for wireless network operators; • Qualcomm Government Technologies (QGOV) — provides development, hardware, analytical expertise and services to United States government agencies involving wireless communications technologies; • Qualcomm Enterprise Services (QES) — provides satellite- and terrestrial-based two-way wireless connectivity and position location services and sells mobile information units to transportation and logistics companies and other enterprise companies with fleet vehicles; and • Firethorn — builds and manages software applications that enable certain mobile commerce services. • Qualcomm Strategic Initiatives (QSI) — comprised of the Company’s Qualcomm Ventures, Structured Finance & Strategic Investments and FLO TV divisions. QSI makes strategic investments that the Company believes will open new opportunities for its technologies, support the design and introduction of new products or services for voice and data communications or possess unique capabilities or technology. Many of these strategic investments are in early-stage companies. QSI also holds wireless spectrum. The results of QSI’s FLO TV business are presented as discontinued operations (Note 8) and are therefore not included in QSI’s revenues or loss before income taxes. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on earnings (loss) before income taxes (EBT) from continuing operations. Segment EBT includes the allocation of certain corporate expenses to the segments, including depreciation and amortization expense related to unallocated corporate assets. Certain income and charges are not allocated to segments in the Company’s management reports because they are not considered in evaluating the segments’ operating performance. Unallocated income and charges include certain investment income (loss); share-based compensation (Note 1); and certain research and development expenses and other selling and marketing expenses that were deemed to be not directly related to the businesses of the segments. Additionally, starting with acquisitions in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, unallocated charges include recognition of the step-up of inventories to fair value and amortization of certain intangible assets. Such charges related to acquisitions that were completed prior to the third quarter of fiscal 2011 are allocated to the respective segments. The table below presents revenues and EBT for reportable segments (in millions):   QCT   QTL   QWI   QSI*   Reconciling Items*   Total* For the three months ended:                       December 25, 2011                       Revenues $ 3,085   $ 1,440   $ 152   $ —   $ 4   $ 4,681 EBT 739   1,267   1   (34 )   (252 )   1,721 December 26, 2010                       Revenues $ 2,116   $ 1,057   $ 172   $ —   $ 3   $ 3,348 EBT 640   892   —   (21 )   (41 )   1,470 *As adjusted for discontinued operations (Note 8) Reconciling items in the previous table were as follows (in millions):   Three Months Ended   December 25, 2011   December 26, 2010* Revenues       Elimination of intersegment revenues $ (1 )   $ (1 ) Other nonreportable segments 5   4   $ 4   $ 3 EBT       Unallocated cost of equipment and services revenues $ (70 )   $ (14 ) Unallocated research and development expenses (162 )   (117 ) Unallocated selling, general and administrative expenses (115 )   (85 ) Unallocated investment income, net 190   244 Other nonreportable segments (95 )   (69 )   $ (252 )   $ (41 ) *As adjusted for discontinued operations (Note 8) Reconciling items for the three months ended December 25, 2011 included $51 million and $9 million of unallocated cost of equipment and services revenues and unallocated selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, related to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions. Other nonreportable segments’ losses before taxes during the three months ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010 were primarily attributable to the Company’s QMT division, a nonreportable segment developing display technology for mobile devices and other applications. Revenues from external customers and intersegment revenues were as follows (in millions):   QCT   QTL   QWI For the three months ended:           December 25, 2011           Revenues from external customers $ 3,084   $ 1,440   $ 152 Intersegment revenues 1   —   — December 26, 2010           Revenues from external customers $ 2,115   $ 1,057   $ 172 Intersegment revenues 1   —   — Segment assets are comprised of accounts receivable and inventories for all reportable segments other than QSI. QSI segment assets include certain marketable securities, notes receivable, spectrum licenses, other investments and all assets of QSI’s consolidated subsidiaries. QSI segment assets related to the discontinued FLO TV business totaled $901 million and $913 million at December 25, 2011 and September 25, 2011, respectively. Reconciling items for total assets included $1.0 billion and $806 million at December 25, 2011 and September 25, 2011, respectively, of goodwill and other assets related to the Company’s QMT division. Total segment assets also differ from total assets on a consolidated basis as a result of unallocated corporate assets primarily comprised of certain cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, property, plant and equipment, deferred tax assets, goodwill, other intangible assets and assets of nonreportable segments. Segment assets and reconciling items were as follows (in millions):   December 25, 2011   September 25, 2011 QCT $ 1,519   $ 1,569 QTL 70   36 QWI 133   136 QSI 2,320   2,386 Reconciling items 33,564   32,295 Total consolidated assets $ 37,606   $ 36,422

Discontinued Operations	3 Months Ended
Dec. 25, 2011
Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
Note 8 - Discontinued Operations	Note 8 — Discontinued Operations On December 27, 2011, after the close of the first fiscal quarter, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of its 700 MHz spectrum for $1.9 billion. As a result, the Company will recognize a gain in discontinued operations of $1.2 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 related to the close of this transaction. The FLO TV business and network were shut down on March 27, 2011. Since then, the Company has been working to sell the remaining assets and exit contracts. The 700 MHz spectrum is classified as held for sale. All other assets were considered disposed of at December 25, 2011. Accordingly, the results of operations of the FLO TV business are presented as discontinued operations. Loss from discontinued operations includes share-based payments and excludes certain general corporate expenses allocated to the FLO TV business during the periods presented. Summarized results from discontinued operations were as follows (in millions):   Three Months Ended   December 25, 2011   December 26, 2010 Revenues $ —   $ — Loss from discontinued operations $ (8 )   $ (141 ) Income tax benefit 3   59 Discontinued operations, net of income taxes $ (5 )   $ (82 ) At December 25, 2011, total assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated balance sheet were $901 million and $225 million, respectively. The assets primarily consisted of the spectrum held for sale of $746 million and capital lease assets of $130 million. Liabilities primarily consisted of capital lease liabilities of $149 million. The Company has a significant number of site leases, and the Company has corresponding capital lease assets, capital lease liabilities and asset retirement obligations (Note 6). The capital lease assets, included in property, plant and equipment, net, were considered disposed of at March 27, 2011 when the Company shut down the FLO TV business. Restructuring activities under the Company’s plan related to discontinued operations were initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and are expected to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2012 as the Company continues to negotiate the exit of certain contracts and removes certain of its equipment from the network sites. Restructuring charges primarily consist of lease exit and other contract termination costs and certain severance costs. The Company estimates that it will incur future restructuring charges of up to $20 million. The Company may also realize certain gains, primarily due to the potential release of liabilities associated with ongoing efforts to exit certain contracts, the amount of which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The restructuring liability, which is reported as a component of other liabilities, consisted of contract termination costs of $37 million and other costs of $3 million at December 25, 2011. During the three months ended December 25, 2011, the Company made payments on amounts previously accrued of $3 million. Future cash expenditures are expected to be in the range of $70 million to $110 million.

Acquisitions	9 Months Ended
Jun. 26, 2011
Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
Note 9 - Acquisitions	Note 9 — Acquisitions During the three months ended December 25, 2011, the Company acquired five businesses for total cash consideration of $288 million. Technology-based intangible assets recognized in the amount of $32 million are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average useful life of six years. The Company recorded $46 million related to two in-process research and development (IPR&D) projects, which are expected to be completed within the next two years. The acquired IPR&D will not be amortized until completion, and upon completion, IPR&D projects will be amortized over their useful lives, which are expected to be nine years. Goodwill recognized in these transactions, of which $61 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes, was assigned to the Company’s reportable segments as follows: $39 million to QCT, $22 million to QTL and $135 million to a non-reportable segment.

Fair Value Measurements	3 Months Ended
Dec. 25, 2011
Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements	Note 10 — Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: • Level 1 includes financial instruments for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets. • Level 2 includes financial instruments for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument. • Level 3 includes financial instruments for which fair value is derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including the Company’s own assumptions. Assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 25, 2011 (in millions):   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total Assets               Cash equivalents $ 1,192   $ 2,857   $ —   $ 4,049 Marketable securities               U.S. Treasury securities and government-related securities 371   792   —   1,163 Corporate bonds and notes —   6,320   —   6,320 Mortgage- and asset-backed securities —   671   23   694 Auction rate securities —   —   122   122 Non-investment-grade debt securities —   4,045   34   4,079 Common and preferred stock 1,212   694   —   1,906 Equity mutual and exchange-traded funds 922   —   —   922 Debt mutual funds 1,327   481   —   1,808 Total marketable securities 3,832   13,003   179   17,014 Derivative instruments —   17   —   17 Other investments 175   —   —   175 Total assets measured at fair value $ 5,199   $ 15,877   $ 179   $ 21,255 Liabilities               Derivative instruments $ —   $ 56   $ —   $ 56 Other liabilities 175   —   6   181 Total liabilities measured at fair value $ 175   $ 56   $ 6   $ 237 Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities. The Company considers all highly liquid investments, including repurchase agreements, with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, government agencies’ securities and repurchase agreements fully collateralized by government agencies’ securities. With the exception of auction rate securities, the Company obtains pricing information from quoted market prices, pricing vendors or quotes from brokers/dealers. The Company conducts reviews of its primary pricing vendors to determine whether the inputs used in the vendor’s pricing processes are deemed to be observable. The fair value of U.S. Treasury securities and government-related securities, corporate bonds and notes and common and preferred stock are generally determined using standard observable inputs, including reported trades, quoted market prices, matrix pricing, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets and/or benchmark securities. The fair value of debt and equity mutual funds is reported as published net asset values. The Company assesses the daily frequency and size of transactions at published net asset values and/or the fund’s underlying holdings to determine whether fair value is based on observable or unobservable inputs. The fair value of highly rated mortgage- and asset-backed securities is derived from the use of matrix pricing (prices for similar securities) or, in some cases, cash flow pricing models with observable inputs such as contractual terms, maturity, credit rating and/or securitization structure to determine the timing and amount of future cash flows. Certain mortgage- and asset-backed securities, principally those rated below AAA, may require the use of significant unobservable inputs to estimate fair value, such as default likelihood, recovery rates and prepayment speed. The fair value of auction rate securities is estimated by the Company using a discounted cash flow model that incorporates transaction details such as contractual terms, maturity and timing and amount of future cash flows, as well as assumptions related to liquidity, default likelihood and recovery, the future state of the auction rate market and credit valuation adjustments of market participants. Though certain of the securities held by the Company are pools of student loans guaranteed by the U.S. government, prepayment speeds and illiquidity discounts are considered significant unobservable inputs. These additional inputs are generally unobservable, and therefore, auction rate securities are included in Level 3. Derivative Instruments. Derivative instruments include foreign currency option and forward contracts to manage foreign exchange risk for certain foreign currency transactions and certain balances denominated in a foreign currency; option, forward and swap contracts to acquire or reduce foreign exchange risk and/or equity and credit risks for portfolios of marketable securities classified as trading; and written put options to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock at fixed prices. Derivative instruments that are traded on an exchange are valued using quoted market prices and are included in Level 1. Derivative instruments that are not traded on an exchange are valued using standard calculations/models that are primarily based on observable inputs, such as foreign currency exchange rates, the Company’s stock price, volatilities and interest rates, and therefore, such derivative instruments are included in Level 2. Other Investments and Other Liabilities. Other investments and other liabilities included in Level 1 are comprised of the Company’s deferred compensation plan liability and related assets, which are invested in mutual funds. Other liabilities included in Level 3 are comprised of put rights held by third parties representing interests in certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. These put rights are valued with a standard option pricing model using significant unobservable inputs. Activity between Levels of the Fair Value Hierarchy. There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three months ended December 25, 2011 or December 26, 2010. When a determination is made to classify an asset or liability within Level 3, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement. The following table includes the activity for marketable securities and other liabilities classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy (in millions):   Three Months Ended December 25, 2011   Auction Rate Securities   Other Marketable Securities   Other Liabilities Beginning balance of Level 3 $ 124   $ 27   $ 7 Total realized and unrealized gains or losses:           Included in investment income, net —   —   (1 ) Included in other comprehensive income (1 )   —   — Purchases —   35   — Settlements (1 )   (5 )   — Ending balance of Level 3 $ 122   $ 57   $ 6   Three Months Ended December 26, 2010   Auction Rate Securities   Other Marketable Securities Beginning balance of Level 3 $ 126   $ 18 Total realized and unrealized gains or losses:       Included in other comprehensive income 2   — Settlements (2 )   (1 ) Ending balance of Level 3 $ 126   $ 17 The Company recognizes transfers into and out of levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the fiscal month in which the actual event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurs. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three months ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010. Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements. The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include cost and equity method investments when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition or in a nonmonetary exchange, and property, plant and equipment and intangible assets that are written down to fair value when they are held for sale or determined to be impaired. During the three months ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010, the Company did not have any significant assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods subsequent to initial recognition.

Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
Note 11 - Marketable Securities	Note 11 — Marketable Securities Marketable securities were comprised as follows (in millions):   Current   Noncurrent   December 25, 2011   September 25, 2011   December 25, 2011   September 25, 2011 Trading:               U.S. Treasury securities and government-related securities $ 230   $ —   $ 330   $ — Corporate bonds and notes 266   —   91   — Mortgage- and asset-backed securities —   —   35   — Non-investment-grade debt securities —   —   54   — Total trading 496   —   510   — Available-for-sale:               U.S. Treasury securities and government-related securities 573   516   30   6 Corporate bonds and notes 3,503   3,665   2,460   2,353 Mortgage- and asset-backed securities 527   587   132   91 Auction rate securities —   —   122   124 Non-investment-grade debt securities 20   19   4,005   3,653 Common and preferred stock 130   76   1,776   1,713 Equity mutual and exchange-traded funds —   —   922   845 Debt mutual funds 1,327   1,327   —   — Total available-for-sale 6,080   6,190   9,447   8,785 Fair value option:               Debt mutual fund —   —   481   476 Total marketable securities $ 6,576   $ 6,190   $ 10,438   $ 9,261 The Company holds an investment in a debt mutual fund for which the Company elected the fair value option. The investment would have otherwise been recorded using the equity method. The debt mutual fund has no single maturity date. At December 25, 2011, the Company had an effective ownership interest in the debt mutual fund of 21%. Increases in fair value associated with this investment of $5 million were recognized in net investment income during each of the three months ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010. The Company believes that recording the investment at fair value and reporting the investment as a marketable security is preferable to applying the equity method because the Company is able to redeem its shares at net asset value, which is determined daily. The Company classifies portfolios of debt securities that involve the purchase or sale of derivative instruments to acquire or reduce foreign exchange and/or equity and credit risk as trading. Net losses recognized on debt securities classified as trading still held at December 25, 2011 were $2 million for the three months ended December 25, 2011. The Company did not hold any securities classified as trading at September 25, 2011. At December 25, 2011, the contractual maturities of available-for-sale debt securities were as follows (in millions): Years to Maturity         Less Than One Year   One to Five Years   Five to Ten Years   Greater Than Ten Years   No Single Maturity Date   Total $ 799   $ 4,878   $ 2,716   $ 1,034   $ 3,272   $ 12,699 Securities with no single maturity date included debt mutual funds, non-investment-grade debt securities, mortgage- and asset-backed securities and auction rate securities.

Further, for common and preferred stock with unrealized losses, the Company has the ability and the intent to hold such securities until they recover, which is expected to be within a reasonable period of time. For debt securities with unrealized losses, the Company does not have the intent to sell, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, such securities before recovery or maturity. The following table shows the activity for the credit loss portion of other-than-temporary impairments on debt securities held by the Company (in millions):   Three Months Ended   December 25, 2011   December 26, 2010 Beginning balance of credit losses $ 46   $ 109 Reductions in credit losses related to securities the Company intends to sell —   (11 ) Additional credit losses recognized on securities previously impaired 1   — Reductions in credit losses related to securities sold (1 )   (7 ) Accretion of credit losses due to an increase in cash flows expected to be collected —   (2 ) Ending balance of credit losses $ 46   $ 89

Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
Earnings Per Common Share	Earnings Per Common Share. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Qualcomm by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Qualcomm by the combination of dilutive common share equivalents, comprised of shares issuable under the Company’s share-based compensation plans and shares subject to written put options, and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Dilutive common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of in-the-money share equivalents, which are calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the exercise price of an award, if any, the amount of compensation cost, if any, for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the estimated tax benefits that would be recorded in paid-in capital, if any, when an award is settled are assumed to be used to repurchase shares in the current period. The incremental dilutive common share equivalents, calculated using the treasury stock method, for the three months ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010 were 37,052,000 and 25,507,000, respectively.      Employee stock options to purchase approximately 4,471,000 and 60,792,000 shares of common stock during the three months ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Put options outstanding during the three months ended December 25, 2011 to purchase 11,800,000 shares of common stock were not included in the earnings per common share computation because the put options’ exercise prices were less than the average market price of the common stock while they were outstanding, and therefore, the effect on diluted earnings per common share would be anti-dilutive (Note 5). In addition, 675,000 and 467,000 shares of other common stock equivalents outstanding during the three months ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because either the effect would be anti-dilutive or certain performance conditions were not satisfied at the end of the period.
