"We have a web page for this book, where we list errata, examples, and any additional information. You can access this page at ...... oreil.ly/applied-embedded-electronics." ( edited out the portion of the url to submit the errata

does not take me to the page with the errata. ( workaround on the ipad it to type the url in manually )
It seems to take me into the oreilly ipad application
Searching in the app for Applied Embedded Electronics takes me to a page that says that says "Your account does not allow you to view this content"

The whole image

It appears that figure 3-14 is showing a repeat of the top section of figure 3-13, with the termination resistance at the driveN end of the transmission line (B). Instead, as I understand the text referring to figure 3-14, it should show termination resistance at the driveR end (A), and perhaps the capacitor mentioned.

Note from the Author or Editor:
The changes discussed in the text are correct about circuit change options. The diagram does not reflect those clearly. This will get updated in the next edition.

Para 5

"...existence of a long stub (due to C to D and Z3) between two other long signal paths (Z1, Z2)."

Should be "(due to C to D and Z2)"?

Note from the Author or Editor:
Agreed, Z3 should be changed to Z2

Figure 8-7

It appears to me that the voltage source connected to the Gate in Case E is drawn in reverse. Based on the circuit's intended function to lower the Source voltage (V_S = V_Pwr), the positive terminal of the voltage source should be connected to V_Pwr, and the negative terminal should be connected to the Gate.

The accompanying text on page 271 states:
"Case E shows a situation where the transistor is on. The voltage at the gate has been lowered so that V_GS has exceeded the threshold voltage."

Since the MOSFET in question is a P-channel, It might be clearer to phrase it as:
"Case E shows a situation where the transistor is on. The voltage at the gate has been lowered (made more negative from previous case, where V_GS was 0V) so that V_GS has exceeded the (negative) threshold voltage."
