Front Matter
None reported so far.

Chapter 1
Page 2: the 20mm measurement in Figure 1.1 is incorrect and should be corrected.
Page 26: 5th line from the top has the misspelled word hinted.

Chapter 2
Page 57: last sentence of 1st paragraph should read There is only one way to do it.
Page 73: in the derivation of F, the 2nd second line labeled with DeMorgan's law is
erroneous and should just be deleted.
Page 87: problem 2.19(a) should say in canonical minterm form, that is, using
product terms of 4 literals each.; problem 2.19(b) should say in canonical maxterm
form, that is, using sum terms of 4 literals each.; problem 2.19(c) should say and in
canonical minterm form.; problem 2.19(d) should say and in canonical maxterm
form.
Page 88: problem 2.23(a), the last sentence should read For this part, make sure to use
little m notation.

Chapter 3
Page 100: the two bottom right cells (not circled) of the K-map in Figure 3.8 should both
have values of 0 and not 1.
Page 107: the vertical blue lines in Figure 3.14 are not drawn correctly. The figure
should look like this:
Page 124: Bin in the equations for G1 and G2 at the top of the page should be just B.
Page 125: the slash after the D in the equation for Z should be removed.
Page 129: in the third paragraphs 2nd sentence an script should be a script.
Page 134: in the schematic on the right hand side of Figure 3.42, the D input to gate G2
should have a value of 1, not 0.
Page 142: the two italicized always in the middle paragraph should be in code font.
Page 142: if (a) then z = in the middle of the page should be if (a) z = .
Page 144, the two module descriptions at the bottom of the page visually appear to
overlap each other, there should be a more clear separation between them.
Page 146: in the first line at the top of the page, continuous is misspelled.
Page 149: in problem 3.13 replace Section 3.4.1 with Example 3.12 in Section 3.4.1
and replace Section 2.2 with Example 2.3 in Section 2.2.2.
Page 150: remove the last right parenthesis from the equation for F in problem 3.17. Start
the equation for H on a new line and remove the semicolon (;) after the equation for G.
Page 151: Both parts of Figure Ex3.19 have minor errors. The top NAND in part (a) of
the figure has a sort of shadow line at the top that should not be there. In part (b) the last
major interval has 6 sub intervals rather than 5 like all the others. They should all match.

Chapter 4
Page 196: 2nd to last sentence before the start of Section 4.2, should say "... onto a single
chip and by observing which functions designers find themselves implementing most
often.
Page 210: in Figure 4.55 there be a dot at the intersection of the address busses of U3 and
U1 with A12:A0. A12:A0 is connected to the inputs of all 4 ROMs.

Chapter 5
Page 228: there are errors in the Verilog description of the KeypadDecoder. Note the
or instead of , in the sensitivity list of the always block; the correct binary number
notation of, for example, 3b001; the parentheses around the conditional parts of the if
statements; and the additional register declaration for KP. It should be:
module keypaddecoder (R1, R2, R3, R4, C1, C2, C3, K8, K4, K2, K1, KP);
input R1, R2, R3, R4, C1, C2, C3;
output K8, K4, K2, K1, KP;
reg[3:0] key;
reg KP;

always @(R1 or R2 or R3 or R4 or C1 or C2 or C3) begin

key = 3bxxx; // default value for key, will be set if KP is true
if (R1 & C1) key = 1;
if (R1 & C2) key = 2;
if (R1 & C3) key = 3;
if (R2 & C1) key = 4;

if (R2 & C3) key = 6;
if (R3 & C1) key = 7;
if (R3 & C2) key = 8;
if (R3 & C3) key = 9;
if (R4 & C1) key = 10;
if (R4 & C2) key = 0;
if (R4 & C3) key = 15;
KP = ((R1 + R2 + R3 + R4) == 3b001)
&& ((C1 + C2 + C3) == 3b001);
end

assign K8 = key[3];
assign K4 = key[2];
assign K2 = key[1];
assign K1 = key[0];

endmodule

Page 230: three lines above the equations at the bottom of the page, the phrase see if it
possible should be see if it is possible.

all 8 instances.
Page 243: in the 2nd to last line, computer should be compute.

5.16 should be Using the schematics of Figure 5.18 .
Page 248: in Figure 5.23s caption, drived should be derived.
Page 255: in problem 5.4(a) add the following sentences after the first and before Use
: For example, suppose we have March 15, then MONTH = 3 and the OFFSET into
the year is 31 + 28 = 59. This is what will be added to DAY = 15 for a day-of-the-year of
59 + 15 = 74. If it was a leap year, then it would be 75.

Chapter 6
Page 275: in the last sentence of 2nd paragraph under Latches and flip-flops there is the
word elment that should be element.
Page 298: last sentence before the Chapter Review should be The values of out are.

Chapter 7
Page 339: last sentence of 2nd paragraph should end with how don't cares were used.
Page 343: a close quotation () needs to added to the end of decisions. (the 1st
paragraph).
Page 343: the last sentence of the paragraph between the input/output and state
descriptions has an extra had and should be Thus, there are four major states for the
controller has that may need to be further refined into individual states.
Page 344: 3rd line should be We can do this by having .

Chapter 8
Page 355: in the 2nd line of the 3rd paragraph braking should breaking.
Page 371: the 1st line of the 4th paragraph of section 8.2.3 should read is shown in
Figure 8.25.
Page 396: the caption for Figure Ex 8.11 should read Next-state functions for Exercises
8.11 and 8.12.
Page 396: the table in Figure Ex 8.11 is wrong and needs to be replaced with the one
below. The text of Exercises 8.11 and 8.12 should read:
8.11 (State Reduction) Given the next-state function of the
finite state machine shown in Figure Ex. 8.11, find the most
reduced state diagram. The state machine has four state
bits, 1 input, and 1 output (the output is asserted only in
states 0, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 15).
 8.12 (State Partitioning) Partition the next-state functions of
the reduced state machine of Exercise 8.11 into two parts
that compute two outputs each but having no more than 4
inputs to each part.

Chapter 9
Page 450: in problem 9.18, 25-input parity function should be a 16-input parity function.

Chapter 10
Page 505: in problem 10.7, Section 8.5.4 should be Section 10.3.
Page 505: in problem 10.10, Section 7.6.5 should be Section 10.4.5.
Page 505: in problem 10.11, Figures 7.55 and 7.56 should be Figures 10.24 and 10.25.

Appendix A
Page 511: 2nd paragraph, 2nd sentence, should be We have 10 digits on our hands (8
fingers and 2 thumbs) we had digits before we had numbers! However, a base-10
system is not natural
Page 527: in the text above the additions, there is a missing "Ca" that for "rry-in" over the
first example. The right-most edge of the binary additions is cut off abruptly.

Appendix B
Page 565: in problem B.4, AVLC should be ALVC.
Page 565: in problem B.6, the power units for CMOS technology should be micro-
watts or W rather than milli-watts or mW that is, 0.5mW is ok, but 30mW +
750mW should be 30W + 750W.

Appendix C
