Logical Effort: Optimum Sizing and Branch Efforts

This lecture covers logical effort, focusing on gate delay modeling, optimum sizing derivation, and dealing with branches. It explains how to minimize path effort delay, derive gate sizes, and optimize drive strength for large loads. The instructor discusses strategies for sizing inverters, calculating delay with optimum sizing, and deriving gate sizes with logical effort. The lecture also explores the concept of branch efforts, providing insights on sizing with branches through examples and practical engineering solutions.
