Chapter 8:
1. Section 8.3.1, Page 8-6, the onebit_dac example should be as follows.
module onebit_dac (in, out)
input in;
inout out;
wire in;
electrical out;
real x;
analog begin
if (in == 0)
x = 0.0;
else
x = 3.0;
V(out) <+ x;
end
endmodule
2. Section 8.3.2.1, Page 8-8
From: "... values to a branch through contribution or assignments in the analog ..."
To: "... values to a branch through contribution in the analog ..."
3. Global: change "merge" to "merged" as merged is the keyword.
4. Section 8.10.5, page 8-40
Change all occurances of "segmentation" to "segregation" in this section.
5. Figure 8-13, Page 8-41
Change "e2c" in the figure to "c2e"
6. Section 8.10.6, Page 8-41, Example "connectmodule c2e"
Make "logic" and "electrical" as bold since they are keywords.
7. Section 8.11.1, Page 8-43
From: "The returned delay value is a real number, which is the number of time units in the caller's context ... event of the digital clock"
To: "The returned delay value is a real number, defined by the `timescale for that module where the call has been made, the fractional part arises from the possibility of a driver being updated by an A2D event off the digital timeticks.
8. Section 8.11.4, Page 8-44.
Rewrite as follows...
$driver_type returns an integer value with its bits set according to the system header file "driver_access.vams" (refer annex D for the header file), for the driver specified by the signal_name and the driver_index. Connect modules for digital to analog ... will be marked as belonging to the kernel. The syntax is shown in Syntax 8-15. (The connect modules ... sentence is same as one shown below the syntax box currently).
[Syntax box]
Move the first paragraph "Digital Primitives (like nand and nor gates) ... for a particular instance"
after the syntax box. (Change "scheduled driver changes" to scheduled output changes" in that paragraph).
Chapter 9:
1. Global change: All references to "1364-1995" should say "IEEE 1364-1995"
2. Section 9.3.2.3, Page 9-8 (the example code)
a. Top two lines make o <= 1 to just "o = 1" and "o = 0"
b. change "endconnectmodule" to "endmodule" in the example
c. change "slew" to "slewrate"
d. change VDD to vdd (caps to small)
e. Move "real start_delay" to after the declaration "real et"
f. if (nw_val == qd_val) begin
...
end else begin <-------- Change in this line (rest stays same)
...
...
end
3. Section 9.3.3, Page 9-11
For 5.2ns
From: "D2A notices queued event and schedules wake-up for 5.75"
To: "D2A notices queued event and changes value using transition filter"
4. Section 9.4, Page 9-15
From: "... variable changes to that which an analog block ..."
To: "... variable changes to which an analog block ..."
5. Section 9.4.1, Page 9-16, Bullet point 3b
From: "... explicit D2A events and inactive events and non blocking assign ..."
To: "... explicit D2A events, inactive events and non blocking assign ..."
6. Global change: Some places cross references have "see Section X.Y" or "see X.Y". Could this be made consistent to say "see Section X.Y". The place where there it just says "Section X.Y" without the keyword "see" thats fine. You can keep it like that. Page 9-18 infact has just "described in 5.4 of 1364-1995". can this be changed to "described in section ...".
I think these are predominantly in chapter 9. I am not sure how easy it is to fix this in the document. :(
7. Section 9.4.3.7, Page 9-19:
From: "... should consume ..."
To: "... shall consume ..."
I shall pass these to the editor...
cheers,
Sri
