Input Capacitance in CMOS Design and Applications Formulas

Input capacitance represents the capacitance seen at the input of the gate. It’s the sum of all the capacitances associated with the gate’s inputs. And is denoted by C_in. Input Capacitance is usually measured using the Picofarad for Capacitance. Note that the value of Input Capacitance is always positive.
