23 symmetric Gates symmetric gates favor one input over another Ex: suppose input of a NND gate is most critical Use smaller transistor on (less capacitance) oost size of noncritical input So total resistance is same reset g g g total g + g reset /3 symmetric gate approaches g on critical input ut total logical effort goes up Slide 3 3

26 Skewed Gates Skewed gates favor one edge over another Ex: suppose rising output of inverter is most critical Downsize noncritical nmos transistor HI-skew inverter unskewed inverter (equal rise resistance) unskewed inverter (equal fall resistance) / / Calculate logical effort by comparing to unskewed inverter with same effective resistance on that edge.

Skewed gates reduce size of noncritical transistors HI-skew gates favor rising output (small nmos) LO-skew gates favor falling output (small pmos) Logical effort is smaller for favored direction ut larger for the other direction Slide 8 8

P Least delay for P μ Slide 3 3
