Talk:Logical effort

Logical Effort was a specific term, still under debate, in 1986
I was fortunate enough, as a junior in a VLSI design house, to attend a seminar presented by Dr. Ivan Sutherland and Lynn Conway in 1986.

While the main topic of that seminar was switching VLSI design and toolchains from nMOS to CMOS, Dr. Sutherland did mention that he was (paraphrasing) "toying" with the idea of what he (not paraphrasing) explicitly called "Logical Effort".

What's "the drive of a transistor"?
"The drive at a node is equal to the sum of the drives of all transistors which are enabled and whose source or drain is in contact with the node in question." — It is never defined in the article what "the drive of a transistor" is. Should this be "the widths of all transistors"? (This is an assumption based on the similar phrasing for the drive at input nodes.) Or is "the drive of a transistor" defined somewhere else? —Cousteau (talk) 21:15, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
