1.  In the switched-capacitor circuits discussed in the MSD book all that sample …

2.  Isn’t the KD1S in Fig. 9.4 simply a multi-bit modulator, Sec. 7.3.4?

3.  Additional comments on the use of K-paths (aka N-paths) seen on pages 52 – 53

4.  Won’t timing issues (e.g., clock skew and clock jitter) that plague every time-interleaved topology be a problem with the KD1S topology?

5.  Shouldn’t the modulation noise in Fig. 8.16 be less than what is seen in Fig. 8.14 adjacent to the input tone? Yes, see SPICE simulation comments here.

6.  What, in simple terms, is the benefit of the KD1S topology?

7.  Does a S/H followed by a Nyquist-rate ADC still experience the Sinc response discussed in Sec. 2.1.3?

8.  Would you post the first edition’s Ch. 36, at the bench? Yes, Ch36_1e_MSD.pdf.

9.  Would you post an example of a continuous-time KD1S? Yes, see CT_KD1S.zip for an LTspice example with Matlab scripts.

Typos found in the 2nd Edition of CMOS Mixed-Signal Circuit Design, ISBN 978-0-470-29026-2, published December, 2008

 

Typos found in the 2nd and later printings of the 2nd Edition

page 23 - Eq. (1.83) the last f in the equation should be +f not -f  

page 111 - the caption for Fig. 3.47 change Ex. 35.14 to Ex. 3.14

pages 123-125, 128, 131, 137, 204-205, 274 change "binary offset" to "offset binary" (yes, minor ;-). It's listed both ways in the Index 

page 142 - in Fig. 4.31 use fs,new instead of fs in the labels on the x-axis  

page 172 - there are 25 points (from DC to 50 MHz) in Fig. 5.14 not 32 as indicated in the paragraph above this figure  

page 186 - second equation from the top, the lower limit of the integration should be -deltaTs/

pages 266-267 - there is a factor of two missing in the derivation, see here  

page 288 - frequency is misspelled in Fig. 8.3

 

Typos fixed in the 2nd printing of the 2nd Edition

pages 5-6 –  as mentioned on page 4 the cosine signal leads the sine signal by 90 degrees. This means that the quadrature signal, with amplitude AQ, in Fig. 1.6 should be drawn pointing down on the y-axis instead of up. The way it’s currently drawn the sine signal leads the cosine signal. With this correction the phase shift in Eqs. (1.10) and (1.11) should be negated (change tan–1 to –tan–1). Also the I and Q letters in Fig. 1.6 should be swapped (I on the x-axis and Q on the y-axis)

page 12 –     Fig. 1.14b, replace vin(f) = z^-1*vout(f) with vout(f) = z^-1*vin(f), in other words swap vin and vout

page 23 –     Eq. (1.81) is incorrect. The delay is already represented in the frequency domain so it doesn’t make sense to take its Fourier transform. This will be changed to show that the Fourier transform of a time shifted signal, x(t – t0), has a frequency spectrum representation of X(f)*exp(-j2*pi*f*t0)

page 26 –     Question 1.17, time was not included in the arguments of the sinusoids. They should read sin(2*pi*f0*t + theta) and cos(2*pi*f0*t + phi)

page 42 –     Eq. (2.17), [u(t – nTs – T) – u(t – NTs – Ts)] isn’t h_t(t). h_t(t) is [u(t – T) – u(t  – Ts)] (to fix the typo remove the label h_t(t) in the first line of the equation)

page 43 –     fifth line from the bottom change “(call interpolation)” to “(called interpolation)”

page 54 –     14th line down change CI to CF

page 58 –     in Fig. 2.41 change the CH to CF so that it matches the derivations, add “–” sign to exponents in Eqs. (2.73) and (2.74), and minor correction to the derivation of the autozero, see here

page 61 –     5th line down remove “that” and change “is” to “are”

page 63 –     7th line down change (2.63) to (2.83)

page 64 –     fix spacing in Fig. 2.50 caption

pages 65-66 – correction to the derivation of single-ended S/H response, see here. Also, 7th line down on page 66 change “uncharged” to “discharged”

page 66 –     remove the extra space at the end of Table 2.2’s caption

page 71 –     Question 2.3, change “returning the output of the S/H reduces…” to “returning the output of the S/H to zero reduces…” and change 2.2 to 2.4 in Fig. 2.59 caption

page 72 –     change CH to CF in question 2.12 to correspond to the change on page 58 listed above

page 85 -     change, in Eq. (3.29), Vtune to (Vtune - 2vin+)  

page 86 –     change the label on the y-axis in Fig. 3.15b from iout+ iout to iout+ = iout

page 87 –     Eq. (3.30) remove the minus sign in front of iout since iout = iout+

page 115 –    swap the outputs of the gm4 transconductor in Fig. 3.53

page 117 –    Questions 3.18 and 3.19 change 35.9 and 35.12 to 3.9 and 3.12

page 137 –   in Fig. 4.24 show the first inverter’s output as 2-bits, 7-bits below the inverter instead of 8, and the input to the comb filter is 9 bits. Also, in Fig. 4.24 the sign bit only needs to be extended by 1 on the input of the resonator so a 10-bit DAC is used

pages 140 and 144 –         4th line from the bottom change “integrators” to “integrator” and there are two Example 4.8s so re-label the one on page 140 “Example 8a” and the one on page 144 “Example 8b”.

page 142 -   add (KM)L before the magnitude brackets in Eq. (4.33) and to the y-axis of the Sinc plot in Fig. 4.31, change M to MK in Fig. 4.31, remove magnitude equation in Fig. 4.31 since it’s the same as Eq. (4.33), and finally two lines above Fig. 4.31 change the K to KM so the number of bits the integrator section grows is log2 (KM) -1 not log2 K -1

page 190 –   Figure 5.26, the unshaded rectangle above the shaded rectangle should be made taller so its area matches the shaded rectangle

page 198 –   14th line from the bottom change 24 dB to 48 dB
