Hi,
the body effect constant unit in exercise 3.4 should be √V (ANALOG INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DESIGN,2nd edition page 123).

HI, in ANALOG INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DESIGN ,2nd edition ,in ch 10 example 10.1 , page 414
you said that ” The 90% confidence interval for a normal distribution is at 1.2816 times its standard deviation ”
from erfc sheet it is around 1.6

Hi, I think on page 549, Fig 13.12 is wrong in the international student edition 2nd edition. The text does not match the figure. I did not see it in the errata, so I thought I’d better let you know.

Hi Professor,

The text of last paragraph on page 567 does not correspond to Fig. 14.13. (“With this arrangement . . . when $\phi_2$ turns on . . . as illustrated in Fig. 14.13(b).” “Now when $\phi_1$ is turned on in Fig. 14.13(a) . . . .”) Either the reference to Figs. 14.13(a) and (b) in the text should be changed, or the indices of the figures should be changed. Thanks!

Hi Professor,

On page 231, the three replacement in the middle, I believe it should be “replace Z1 with Zs,” and “replace Z2 with Zf,” which is also consistent with equation (5.66) on page 232. Thank you!

Hi Professor,

On page 223, in Example 5.8, the line starting with “The desired gain of this circuit…” is incorrect. Although the desired gain is -Z2/Z1, this gain does not equal to 1/beta. Beta here should be Z1/(Z1+Z2). The inconsistency between 1/beta and the desired gain is due to the fact that Vin here is not u in Fig. 5.1, and u here corresponds to -Vin * Z2/(Z1+Z2). Therefore, equation (5.6) cannot be applied directly to Example 5.8.

I take it back. But maybe it’s better not to define beta as a feedback factor and 1/beta as a desired gain? Since these two definitions are not consistent in some cases.

Thanks!

In example 1.1 on page 2 (2. edition) the solution uses ni = 1.1×10^16 /cm^3. This is exactly the intrinsic value for /m^3. Is the value of ni just supposed to be high, or should it be /1.1×10^10 /cm^3 so that it fits with the intrinsic values on page 1? The anwer given in example 1.1 uses 1.1×10^16 /cm^3 as the value, giving a really low value of n_0.

on page 244, equation 6.1 says:

Av1 = -gm1(rds2||d*rds4)

where it should just say:

Av1 = -gm1(rds2||rds4)

In other words, there’s a minor typo which adds in a ‘d’ next to rds4 that should not be there.

There is one sentence in page 130 which does not make sense. Whoever was the author of this sentence is grossly incompetent in English. There are many many other mistakes but this mistake is very severe since this disrupts understanding of a very important part

, can be without Q4 entering the triode region is given by Vds2+Veff , the minimum allowed voltage for Vout is give by”

figure 1.30(a) on page 46 (second edition): the current Id seems unusually large versus Vgs… should the unit for Id be mA rather than A? If using this plot, by plugging in theta = 1.7V^-1, Vgs = 1V, Id = 0.3A, Vth = 0.45V (gives muCox(W/L)=2.72mA/V^2), one will get m = -0.106 by using equation 1.126. But if changing Id = 0.3A->0.3mA, one will arrive m = 2 that is more reasonable.

hi there,

(4.175) should be Cout=Cgd2+Cdb2+CL+Cbias=20fF+25fF+7pF+25pF=32.045pF

Dear professor,

About the problem 10.4 on page 442. The problem can be solved and that is clear for me. However, if the input signal Vin can be only positive value because supply voltages are gnd and 5V so can the comparator output go to high? So do we have the think that the input Vin is just relative signal like positive or negative?

Best regards,

Jan

Why not connecting the metal shield to VDD?
Last three lines in 2nd paragraph mention that the nwell acts as a bypass cap. This is true if the shield is VDD rather than GND.
Also in this sentence VDD should probably be replaced by GND: “this helps minimize noise in the substrate, which is connected to VDD”

I have one question about a circuit proposed several times in the book in Fig. 14.34, Fig. 14.35, Fig. 14.36, and Fig. 16.12. In this circuit there is no DC path for the inverting terminal of the op-amp. This node is always floating, and it is not set by any of the switches. I would appreciate if you can let me know how you set the DC bias at this point.

Section 18.3.1 (p.710) specifies fs=5.6448 MHz and f0=44.1 kHz to give an OSR=128. But per the definition of OSR used in the book (eq. 18.8), this should give an OSR=fs/(2*f0)=64. I assume the intention here might be to say 2*f0=44.1 kHz ?

Hi, in eqn 6.43, zero is on the left-half plane if Rc=0. It has to be on the RHP. Actually, if you look at the sentence below also, it mentions that if Rc is too large, zero will move from RHP to LHP. It think there is an extra (-) sign in that eqn.

On page 24(second ed.), you state that for a p-channel MOS to conduct, it must have VSG>Vtp, where Vtp is a negative quantity. So as a consequence, VSG=0 gives a conducting transistor since 0 is greater than any negative number, but this cannot be true ??

Dear Professors,

The equations 5.2 and 5.3 in Chapter 5 should have a negative sign for the loop-gain term. If we set input to zero for loop-gain calculations, and follow the loop in Fig.5.1, v=-ABx and L=-AB, due to terminal v multiplying with -1. This also implies that there is a negative feedback. These equations should be included in the list of errata.

This book is one of my favorites and I liked this time in 2nd edition, topic of feedback was given more attention.

Thanks

In the solution of Example 5.1 on page 206 the change in the closed-loop gain should be less than 5%, because |4.9751-4.9975|=0.0224, which is 2.24% change.

I believe 4.133 is incorrect. It should be
wp2 = 1/(RS*(Cgs1+Cgd1))

4.133 is derived assuming C2 is large directly on 4.127,
However we cannot not use 4.127 directly (4.127 is based on the assumption that Cdg1*gm1*R2 >> R2*C2 which is in contradiction with the case we are considering in 4.132.
