Page xxi: The link to the Rane Legacy page is wrong. This is correct: https://www.ranecommercial.com/legacy
Page 14: The wording in the first sentence of the main paragraph is confusing. Replace this:
In this case the resistance is about 8.2k with 1 volt bias, and 770 ohms at 8 volts.
with this:
In this case the resistance is about 8.2k with 1 volt into 10k resistor R2 (55 microamps), and 770 ohms at 8 volts (745 uA).
Page 48: Add this at the end of the Attenuators and Pads section just before the Parallel Resistors section head:
Note that R1 and R2 in the H-pad need to be matched closely to maintain adequate common mode rejection. Using 1% tolerance resistors assures 40 dB rejection, and 0.1% resistors increase that to 60 dB.
Page 64: Figure 4.14 has incorrect resistor labels for Simulated Inductor C. R3 through R6 should be R1 through R4 to match the formula at the bottom of the page.
Page 69: Figure 4.17 is missing the closing parenthesis on SINE(0 1 100). The online LTspice file may also be missing that parenthesis.
Page 84: add this sentence to the end of the first (partial) paragraph:
If you need a square wave with a fixed duty cycle, you could use two frequency doublers in series, then halve that frequency.
Page 169: Three new VCO circuits are available in the online Zip file: VCO 2 and VCO 3 are simpler than the VCO in the book, though they output only triangle and square waves. VCO 4 is full-featured, and improves on the book's VCO by extending its output to allow seven octaves, plus a few other circuit improvements.
Page 171: In Figure 7.5 the closing parenthesis on the PWL line is missing. The online LTspice file may also be missing that parenthesis.
Index: Add Rail (op-amp power) 29, 42, 56, 73, 81, 141
