How to Evaluate Miller Capacitance?

Miller Capacitance evaluator uses Miller Capacitance = Gate to Drain Capacitance*(1+1/(Transconductance*Load Resistance)) to evaluate the Miller Capacitance, The Miller Capacitance at output formula refers to capacitance or impedance connected between input and another node which exhibits gain. It can modify amplifier's input impedance via this effect. Miller capacitance was identified in 1920 in triode vacuum tubes by John Milton Miller. Miller Capacitance is denoted by Cm symbol.
