Errata From The Second Edition

Here are errata from the second edition of Modern VLSI Design.

Chapter 2

p. 47: In example 2-2, units on W/Ls should be lambdas, not microns.

p. 52: "parallel place" -> "parallel plate"; Si intrinsic carrier concentration is 1.45 x 10^10; permittivity of Si is 11.9.

p. 55: Units of Qf should be C/cm^2; missing ln in second equation for phi_gs.

p. 58: Figure 2-12: legends should be (from top to bottom) V_ds < V_gs - V_t, V_ds = V_gs - V_t, V_ds > V_gs - V_t.

p. 60: Exponent on leakage current should be qVd/kT.

p. 68: Units on second line of page should be ff/microns^2. I mislabeled the dimensions in the original figure: the values should multiplied by 4 to be in units of lambdas.

p. 80: These values do not reflect any particular process and were not obtained from Mosis.

p. 101: Question 2-11: Source/drain regions should extend 3 lambda past the channel.

p. 103: Question 2-14: Layout labels are incorrect.

p. 119: Should be “minimum voltage produced for a logic 1 will be Voh.”

Chapter 4

p. 213: bottom input to NOR gate should be Pc = 0.4.

Chapter 5

p. 293: should be "and through n-1 transmission gates."

Chapter 8

p. 372: second assignment should be "y = c + d".

Chapter 9

p. 425: Figure 9-5: go input to timers block should be go[2]; display block should include output_select input; inputs to buzz block should be done[2] and stop; controller block should include incr_seconds output.
